Jacarandas at Yungaburra

Far North Queensland is our first destination, providing the diversity of the Great Barrier Reef, the upland rainforests of the Atherton Tableland, and the coastal jungles and estuarine mangroves of the Daintree, Cape Tribulation and the Bloomfield Wilderness.

Kakadu National Park

From there we move on to the breathtaking landscapes of the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park. Its World Heritage designation was earned by the amazing variety of its ecosystems, the wealth of its distinctive fauna and the antiquity of its fabulous galleries of Aboriginal rock paintings.

Dingoes, Arnhemland

Our introduction to Australia's ancient indigenous cultures in North Queensland and Kakadu will be deepened immeasurably in our tour's final days as we safari in Arnhemland. We enter this largest of Australia's Aboriginal reserves by permission of the traditional owners, the Ulba Bunidj people, who invite us to sacred Dreaming sites of which they have been custodians for 50,000 years. Visitor numbers to Arnhemland are strictly limited, and as a consequence it is fabulously rich in native wildlife, flowers, plants and trees.
