You will be collected from your Darwin accommodation

We head south along the Stuart highway and into
Fog Dam Conservation Reserve. These wetlands have international
significance because of their beauty, natural systems and their
importance to the local Aboriginal people. A great variety of fauna
can be found here throughout the year.
After a comfort stop at the Bark Hut, we make our
way into heritage listed Kakadu National park. Kakadu is the largest
national park in Australia, has some of the world’s finest
rock art and a variety of habitats, including floodplains and savannah
woodlands.
Once
within the park, our first stop is Ubirr where we walk through galleries
of ancient aboriginal rock art, which your guide will interpret.
Also learn about bushtuckers and bush medicines before reaching
the top of the plateau, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular
view over the floodplains.
A picnic lunch will be served on the banks of the
East Alligator River.
We visit the Bowali visitors information centre,
before heading to the centre of the park and to the Warradjan Aboriginal
Cultural Centre.
Late this afternoon, board the sunset Yellow Waters
billabong cruise, with it’s prolific birdlife and wonderful
variety of plants. Estuarine crocodiles are often spotted here.
After the cruise, we make our way to our overnight
accommodation in Jabiru and enjoy a BBQ dinner.

After breakfast we visit Nourlangie Rock, an ancient
Aboriginal living shelter, where we will explore the area and the

over the Arnhemland escarpment.
A picnic lunch will be served en-route.
