DLK3 - Experience Litchfield & Kakadu
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 Indigenous peoples.

We continue to Jabiru to the northern region of Kakadu National Park to visit the Bowali information centre and park headquarters. Onwards to Nourlangie Rock and occupation sites dated in excess of 20,000 years. Our final destination for the day is our overnight stop at Cooinda.

Overnight: Gagudju Lodge, Cooinda

Join a sunrise cruise on the famous Yellow Waters, abundant with many species of birds and the mighty salt water crocodile. Returning from this memorable cruise we return to the resort for a late breakfast before heading onwards to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). Here we take a scenic 1km walk along the edge of Barramundi Creek before arriving at the base of Barramundi Falls for a swim in the large plunge pool below, along with the large array of aquatic life that is present at Maguk.

Onwards to Gunlom Falls (when in operation) - made famous in the movie "Crocodile Dundee" as Echo Pool. We then travel to the Mary River Pine Creek Historic Goldfields region and continue on to Adelaide River to visit the historic war cemetery. We conclude our day on arrival at Bachelor.

Overnight: Bachelor Resort, Bachelor

Today we head to some incredible lookouts and falls. We venture through Batchelor discovering some amazing natural wonders at one of Litchfield's most unique sites as we visit the incredible Termite Mounds. Hundreds of termite mounds standing up to two metres high in a wide swathe of empty ground will amaze. The mounds are like enormous magnetic compasses, with their thin edges pointing north south and broad backs east west minimising their exposure to the sun, keeping the mounds cool for the termites inside.

Nearby, a large cathedral termite mound stands. Continuing on, we head to our next stops which include Florence Falls, Tolmer Falls lookout, Wangi Falls and Buleys Waterhole. This concludes our tour and we depart for our back road trip to Darwin.
