Arrive in Darwin and make your way to your hotel, ready for your tour to begin. The tropical capital of Australia’s Northern Territory and gateway to the Top End, Darwin is a city of contrasts, and your Travel Director will guide you through its highlights.

Wander through the lush botanic gardens and take in sweeping coastal views from East Point Reserve. As the day draws to a close, enjoy dinner by the waterfront with your fellow travellers, setting the tone for the days ahead.

Dinner

Travelling south towards Katherine, pause for reflection at Adelaide River War Cemetery, a moving reminder of the lives lost in defence of the nation. Continue to Nitmiluk National Park on Jawoyn Country, where a cruise takes you through the striking Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge beneath towering sandstone cliffs. Later, visit the Katherine Outback Experience, where the Northern Territory’s pastoral heritage comes alive through storytelling and music.

Breakfast

Cross into Western Australia and arrive in Kununurra, where the outback feels wonderfully remote. Step back in time at the Durack Homestead Museum, carefully relocated before the Ord River Irrigation Scheme transformed the landscape and created Lake Argyle. Take in the sheer scale of this immense freshwater reservoir on a scenic cruise, with birdlife overhead and horizons stretching in every direction. Then return to Kununurra, a laid-back town with a character all its own and a relaxed base for exploring the remarkable Kimberley.

Breakfast

This morning, there’s the option to explore Purnululu National Park (at your own expense). Take to the air or travel by 4WD to see the remarkable Bungle Bungle Range, its striped, beehive-shaped domes formed over millions of years. Later, swap wilderness for local craft at the Hoochery Distillery, where you’ll meet the characters behind the business and discover how their award-winning spirits are made.

On your final morning, wander through Mirima National Park, often called the ‘mini Bungle Bungles’, as your Travel Director explains how its striking landscape was formed. Your journey ends here today, and we hope it inspires a lasting love for Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
