Day 1: Darwin
to Mary River & Kakadu National Park
First we're off to the Mary River wetlands system, with the
highest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the southern
hemisphere. We arrive in Woolna Country and you will receive
a Cul Cul (welcome) from the traditional owners of the land,
the Limilngan - Wulna people. Experience the local Aboriginal
culture including cooking bush tucker, playing the didgeridoo,
basket weaving and spear throwing. Get close (but not too
close!) to 'salties' and other wild creatures on a private
billabong cruise. We arrive at history rich Ubirr in time
for sunset. You will see vivid Aboriginal rock art that 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 (either Jim Jim or Twin 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)

Marbles, which balance precariously on their rocky perch.
