Itinerary: day by day

Day 1 – Darwin to Katherine Gorge

DEFAULT PICK UP: Adventure Tours Australia Shop, 52 Mitchell St Darwin, 06:30am

After leaving Darwin, we stop for a break at Adelaide River on the way to Katherine. We spend the whole afternoon at the majestic Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, so sit back and enjoy the striking beauty. Want to see more? Take a cruise along the gorge or hire a canoe and paddle yourself down stream. These options are seasonal and at your own expense. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp near Katherine Gorge. (LD)

Day 2 – Katherine Gorge to Banka Banka

Just south of Katherine is Mataranka, where you can revive yourself in a sparkling thermal pool surrounded by lush tropical forest. Next stop is the famous Daly Waters Outback Hotel, Northern Territory's oldest pub. Nearby lies Australia's first international airport, but you won't get a flight back home from here these days! After lunch, we continue south to Banka Banka station where we camp overnight. (BLD)

Day 3 – Banka Banka to Alice Springs

This morning we check out the sacred site of Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles) — balancing precariously on their rocky perch. From here we stop in at Barrow Creek Pub, home to the historic Barrow Creek Telegraph Station – catch a glimpse of what outback telecommunication used to be like! We cross over the Tropic of Capricorn, before arriving early evening into Alice Springs. (BL)
