3 Day Kakadu to Litchfield 4WD Camping - Bush Swag

Day 1

**Day 1: Darwin - Kakadu National Park** Start your adventure by departing from Darwin and heading out to the Mary River Wetlands region onboard the Corroboree Billabong Wetland Cruise. A great opportunity to spot a huge range of Top End birdlife, not to mention some apex predators?? crocodiles! We journey on to Kakadu National Park visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre which offers a beautiful introduction to the Park's landscape and wildlife. After some relaxation at camp, we will journey north to *Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. We will visit one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal rock art in the world at Ubirr rock upon sunset. This incredibly significant site showcases many styles of rock art and allows us to climb up high for a sunset that will blow you away looking out over the Nadab Floodplain. After a big day, we head back to our cozy private camp and prepare dinner together, enjoying an evening with our fellow travellers. **Meals:** Lunch, Dinner. **Camping:** Jabiru Campground - Permanent Safari Tents or Bush Swags (communal bathroom facilities). **Driving Distance:** 420km. **Hike Distance and Grading:** 1km loop Grade 3, flat pathways and a gradual climb up a rock face to the vantage point on top.

Day 2

**Day 2: Kakadu Waterfalls & Plunge Pools** We rise and shine early on day 2 and make our way south in Kakadu National Park. Today we'll spend the day soaking up the spectacular natural beauty of the area, hiking through lush monsoon rainforests, and swimming in pristine plunge pools and waterfalls surrounded by steep escarpments and rocky cliffs. We aim to visit one or more of the available waterfalls depending on the group's physical ability to complete the hike(s). This can include any of the following: Motor Car Falls, Moline Rockhole, Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), or Jim Jim Falls. There are many factors affecting accessibility although your guide will ensure you get the best experience possible. Time permitting, we stop at Burrungkuy (Nourlangie Rock), another indigenous rock art site where archaeologists have uncovered works dating back over 20,000 years old. We explore the evolving social, cultural and environmental changes to the area over time before making our way back to camp for a hearty dinner and a well-earned rest. **Meals:** Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. **Camping:** Jabiru Campground - Permanent Tents or Bush Swags (communal bathroom facilities). **Driving Distance:** 150km. **Hike Distance and Grading:** 1.5km - 4km Grade 6.
