Day One
We depart early in the morning to head along the Stuart Highway to our first destination, Karlu Karlu (Devil’s Marbles). Admire these unique rock formations in the middle of the outback as you hear about their significance to Aboriginal culture. We continue the drive through the impressive Red Centre towards the historic Banka Banka Cattle Station, where we rest overnight after a delicious meal.
Day Two
The next day we wake early to continue the journey north towards Darwin. Our first stop is the famous Daly Waters Pub – a historic stop for drovers and explorers to recuperate in earlier days. After a cold beer we continue north to our next stop – a relaxing swim at the marvellous Mataranka Thermal Springs. After a soak in the thermal springs we make our way to Katherine for our second and final night camping.
Day Three
After another early rise and a hearty breakfast we make the short drive to the Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge). Here you can take a dip in the watering hole and admire the large sandstone gorge that has been carved away by the Katherine River. Then it’s back in the bus for the final leg towards Darwin.
