Trip Itinerary:
Day 1:
Departing Alice Springs at approximately 6.00am, our adventure through
the Territory to Darwin begins. Just north of Alice Springs is
the Tropic of Capricorn (80% of the Northern Territory lays north
of this point). Further along the track are the Devils Marbles (Karlu
Karlu) which are a collection of gigantic granite boulders magically
balanced on top of one another. Our day winds to a close just north
of Tennant Creek at historic Banka Banka Cattle Station where we
camp for the night.

Day 2:
No trip to the Territory is complete without a visit to the Daly
Waters Pub, an important watering hole for explorers and drovers
in days gone by and now a great spot for a cold beer, a bit of history
and a fair dinkum outback experience! Later in the day you can
take a soak in the Mataranka Thermal Pools, a lush oasis fringed
by paperbark trees before journeying to Katherine and our overnight
camp where you will have the opportunity to take a breathtaking
scenic flight which will give you spectacular views of the Nitmiluk
Gorge System (seasonal and at own expense).

Day 3:
Your guide will wake you early this morning for the short drive
to Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park which is owned by the
Jawoyn Aboriginal people. Ancient sandstone has been carved away
by the Katherine River to create a deep and picturesque gorge. You
may like to take a boat cruise or paddle a canoe (seasonal) through
the peaceful water (both optional and additional cost) or take in
the views on a hike. In the afternoon, relax and watch the changing
landscape as we travel on to cosmopolitan Darwin.
