ITINERARY
DAY
ONE
After pick up from your hotel
or accommodation, we head out to Kakadu. We travel across the Marrakai
flood plains and take a boat cruise where we spot crocodiles, bird life
and explore the tidal river system. Continuing on in to Kakadu we cross
the South Alligator river before proceeding to Ubirr Rock where we see
classic examples of Aboriginal Rock art and spectacular 360 degree views.
After watching sunset over the escarpment we travel to our campsite in
Kakadu where we enjoy a hearty dinner. (L,D)
DAY
TWO
Breakfast to the dawn chorus
of birdlife around the camp before heading off to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge).
Relax in the cool, clear, safe waters or explore this beautiful sandstone
gorge. On the way to Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) we stop off at Edith
Falls for a refreshing swim. Our route takes us through the historic
mining region around Pine Creek until we settle in Katherine for another
night under the stars. (B,L,D)
DAY
THREE
The choice is yours this morning. Enjoy the spectacular
Gorge either by canoe (pictured) or a two hour cruise. The gorge is a canoeists paradise with sandstone
cliffs and crystal clear waters. The waters are safe for swimming and the
area is rich in the history of the Jawoyn Aboriginal people. We lunch at
the Gorge and travel up the track to Darwin.(B,L)
Set in a private area, our camp site is within easy walking distance of showers, toilets, a swimming pool. All guests enjoy their evening meal and breakfast together at the Billy Can Tours camp.
