GROUP TRIPS
Outback Adventure
17 days
Ref: OA
From cosmopolitan Sydney we fly into the 'Red Centre' and embark
on a rugged adventure, journeying from Uluru/Ayers Rock in the south
to Kakadu National Park in Australia's 'Top End'. Full of highlights
and getting well off the beaten track, this camping trip will leave
lifelong memories of some of the most spectacular natural wonders
in the world.
Sydney & Uluru/Ayers Rock
After a day in vibrant, confident Sydney we fly across the vast
Outback to Uluru/Ayers Rock. From here we take an awesome array
of natural wonders: the red domes of Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, the 'amphitheatre'
at Kings Canyon, plus of course the imposing majesty of Uluru/Ayers
Rock.
Devil's Marbles & Katherine Gorge
Heading north we come to the Devil's Marbles, where erosion has
created enormous spherical granite boulders - the eggs of the Rainbow
Serpent, according to aboriginal legend. Then we drive on to Katherine,
where we can explore the dramatic gorge on foot or by boat.
Aboriginal Art at Kakadu National Park
In Kakadu, famous for its wildlife and aboriginal rock paintings,
we learn about the extraordinary culture of Australia's first inhabitants
at Nourlangie, and take a boat trip on the Yellow Water Billabong,
home to the native crocodile. Finally we travel via Litchfield National
Park to Darwin where the tour ends. See red route on map.
