DKC3 - Complete Top End Experience - Kakadu Adventure - Camping
Duration: 3 Days, 2 Nights

En route visit the Adelaide River wetlands, Fog Dam Conservation Reserve and the Bark Hut Inn for refreshment stop before entering Kakadu. Our next stop is at Ubirr where groups of Aboriginal people camped in rock shelters around to take advantage of the enormous variety of foods available from the East Alligator River, the Nadab floodplain, the woodlands, and the surrounding stone country. This is an exciting and informative stop for information on Australian Indiginous peoples.

We continue to Jabiru to the northern region of Kakadu National Park to Cahill's Crossing on the East Alligator River and enter Arnhem Land. A 15km scenic drive to Gunbalanya Aboriginal Community provides some of the best driving views in the Top End. Floodplains covered in bird life and lagoons with waterlilies running up along side the Arnhem Land escarpment. Upon arrival at Gunbalanya we will visit the Injalak Arts and Craft Centre. Here you have the opportunity to meet and watch traditional local artists in action. Onwards to Nourlangie Rock and occupation sites dated in excess of 20,000 years.

Tonight we explore and view unique aboriginal art & culture on an aboriginal art tour. The art is inspiring, colourful and sacred, from a culture dating back more than 65,000 years. These art sites are a fascinating insight into one of the world's oldest and most unique cultures.
