Itinerary
Day
1 - Darwin to Mary River & Kakadu National Park
First
we're off to Mary River Wetlands, with the highest concentration
of saltwater crocodiles in the southern hemisphere. Get close
(but not too close!) to salties' and other wild creatures
on a cruise of the wetlands. This afternoon we go to history-rich
Ubirr, where vivid Aboriginal rock art dates back over 20,000
years. Then we head to our overnight bush camp in Kakadu.
(LD)
Day
2 - Kakadu National Park
It's
an early one this morning as we travel to Twin Falls. The
spectacular gorge is experienced onboard a National Park operated
boat and along the boardwalk. Unwind and relax for a bit on
the sandy banks before we head deep into the escarpment country
to the awesome Jim Jim Falls. It's a challenging climb to
the top of the falls (seasonal)
but it's worth it for the sensational views over Kakadu. You'll
be asleep in no time once we reach our overnight bush camp
in Kakadu! (BLD)
Day
3 - Kakadu to Darwin
After
waking up in our swags, we head down to the Warradjan Cultural
Centre to check out the detailed information about Aboriginal
Culture in Kakadu. Then we take a hike at Maguk (Barramundi
Falls), followed by a cooling dip in the plunge pools. We
then take the 4WD Old Darwin Road (seasonal),
passing the White Lily flood plains along the way as we return
back to Darwin after an exciting three days in Kakadu. (BL)
