Scenic Flight Darwin to Kakadu
Kakadu National Park is a timeless place – a landscape of exceptional beauty and diversity. Mangrove fringed coastal areas
blend into expansive flood plains, lowland hills flanked to the east by sandstone escarpments, all interwoven between
various open woodland and forest habitats. Teeming with wildlife in the water, on the land and in the air, there are many
species which provide a diversity and concentration seen nowhere else. The land takes on different forms and different
colours with the passing of each season.
Travel across Adelaide River and Marrakai Plains and deep into Kakadu National Park. Stop at Nourlangie Rock, where you’re
Guide will lead a walk to view ancient Aboriginal rock art. After lunch we join our local guide for a cruise on the famous
Yellow Water Billabong. Search for saltwater crocodiles and the colourful range of birdlife for which this region is renowned.
Visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre and view the informative displays depicting the traditions of the Aboriginal people in
Kakadu, before returning to Darwin. There is the opportunity for an optional 50 minute scenic flight (SKF50 -own expense) (L)

Florence Falls, Tolmer Falls, Wangi Falls, Termite Mounds, Buffet Lunch
Litchfield National Park contains several types of typical Top End habitats including lush monsoon forests, termite mounds,
unusual rock formations, waterfalls and cascades. The Park encloses much of the spectacular Tabletop Range, which is a wide
sandstone plateau mostly surrounded by cliffs. During the green season four major waterfalls thunder from the cliffs to
tropical rock pools many metres below. During the dry season, the waterfalls flow more gently, making the waterholes
perfect spots for a cool dip. The Park’s traditional owners are the Wagait Aboriginal people, many of whom live in the area.
We follow the Stuart Highway via the township of Batchelor to Litchfield National Park where we will visit the main falls. First
stop is Florence Falls, where you have the opportunity for a scenic and interpretive bush and monsoon vine forest walk.
There is also the chance for a swim by making your way down the stairs to the plunge pool below. Travel on to Tolmer Falls
for a magnificent view of the water cascading down to the deep waterhole at the base of the falls. Finally we visit Wangi
Falls, with its large crystal clear pool, another relaxing spot for a swim. A great day for taking many fascinating photos,
including the amazing stand of termite mounds. A buffet lunch is included today. (L)

Katherine Gorge Cruise, Adelaide River War Cemetery, Katherine township, Lunch
Katherine Gorge is a network of thirteen gorges carved from billion-year-old sandstone country by the Katherine River in
Nitmiluk National Park. Aboriginal culture is strong in the area and there are many Aboriginal rock art sites dotted throughout
the Park. It is a haven for nature lovers, with its rugged landscapes, dramatic waterfalls and lush gorges providing an
abundance of flora and fauna.
Leaving Darwin we travel south through tropical country, passing former WWII airstrips en route to Adelaide River. We make
a short stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a site dedicated to those killed in the air raids in Darwin in the 1940’s.
Continue to Edith Falls, where there is time for a refreshing swim in the paperbark and pandanas fringed waterhole beneath
the falls (conditions permitting). After your included lunch, we join a 2 hour scenic cruise through Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk
National Park, with a chance to see freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of the river and many interesting
species of birdlife (between May – September lunch may be onboard cruise). Our tour of the first two gorges takes us past
sheer rock walls and requires a short walk to reach the second gorge. Enjoy a brief tour of Katherine, the hub of the region’s
cattle and farming industries. Travel via Pine Creek, an historic gold mining town, to our evening stop at Adelaide River where
you may purchase dinner (own expense) before returning to Darwin (L)
