This
fantastic tour starts in the heart of what we call 'The Red Centre' where you
can browse Aboriginal art and get a glimpse of the classic outback life. But be
sure to get a good night's sleep, because come morning, it's time to discover
the desert oasis of Palm Valley and the spectacular Kings Canyon - the most
botanically rich region in all of arid Australia.
Then
there's the world famous Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the awe inspiring Kata Tjuta
(Olgas). One option available to you (additional cost) is the truly amazing
Sounds of Silence Dinner - where you feast on an array of the region's culinary
delights under a million stars on a secluded sand dune as the sun sets over Uluru
and Kata Tjuta.
As
we head North, you can explore Katherine or even take a tour of the stunning
Katherine Gorge (additional cost) before continuing on to Darwin - the gateway
to the many natural wonders of 'The Top End'.
It's
here you'll go on to discover the beautiful waterfalls of Litchfield National
Park, the surrounding monsoon rainforest, a 23,000 year old Aboriginal rock art
sight, the historic mining settlement of Pine Creek and of course the World
Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park. We'll take you to some of the less
visited areas and even to Gunlom Falls - an area made famous as Echo Pool in
the movie 'Crocodile Dundee'. You'll have the chance to see all the wildlife of
the area including the awesome saltwater crocodile before heading back to Darwin
where your tour ends, but the lifetime of memories begins.
