Trip Itinerary
- Day 1: Alice Springs to Tennant Creek
Meet your Contiki crew and travel across the Tropic of Capricorn to the Devils Marbles. Then north to Tennant Creek which is the site of the last gold rush in Australia. Remember, not everything that glitters is gold – however here it just might be. All discovered nuggets must be passed onto the Contiki crew! (D) Hotel
- Day 2: Tennant Creek to Katherine
Try a cold beer at the oldest Territory pub. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal waters of Mataranka Thermal Pools or take a look at the Elsey Homestead. Onwards to Katherine for tonight’s get together – because by now you know everyone and everyone knows you! (B) Hotel
- Day 3: Katherine to Kakadu National Park
A morning stop in Katherine then onto Nitmiluk National Park and the sensational Katherine Gorge. Why not take in the beauty of nature’s sculpture with a leisurely boat trip through two of the many ancient gorges. This afternoon we’ll head to Kakadu National Park and Jabiru. Our accommodation is right in the middle of the park and it’s soon time for another romantic sunset at Ubirr Aboriginal rock art site. Relax this evening in a tropical poolside setting. Why isn’t life always like this? (B,D) Lodge
- Day 4: Kakadu National Park
Rise early and you have the chance to see the wonders of Kakadu from the air. This scenic flight will leave you breathless and it’s not the altitude. You really will understand why this is a world heritage region. Then on to Nourlangie Rock, famous for its Aboriginal art. View the wetlands and spend the afternoon on a wildlife cruise. (B) Lodge
- Day 5: Kakadu National Park to Darwin
We’ll head north towards Darwin, the most northerly city in Australia. We visit the Northern Territory Museum then there’s free time this afternoon to shop till you drop or if the pace is getting to you – just drop. Tonight is our last night together. Uh-huh – time to party hard! Try your luck at the casino then dance the night away at one of Darwin’s clubs. (B) Hotel
- Day 6: Darwin to Litchfield National Park
Start planning your next Contiki holiday. Litchfield National Park is 650 square kilometres (255 square miles) of top end treasure, enclosing a spectacular sandstone plateau. We’ll swim at picturesque Florence Falls. All good things must come to an end and so it’s back to our Darwin hotel where our tour – not the friendships made – ends. (B)
