Darwin and Litchfield National Park (1 Days) Welcome to the Northern Territory - CONTIKI STYLE!!! What a way to start with our first day at Litchfield National Park. It is 650 square kilometres (255 square miles) of top end treasure. It encloses some spectacular scenery including an ancient sandstone plateau and picturesque Florence Falls where you will have the opportunity for a swim. Then it's back to Darwin as we discover the Darwin nightlife! Darwin to Kakadu National Park (1 Days) Today you'll discover the amazing history of Darwin with a visit to the Northern Territory Museum and a driving tour of the city, before heading out to the world famous Kakadu National Park. Kakadu National Park (1 Days) 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. Kakadu National Park to Katherine (1 Days) You will be able to appreciate the vast changes in scenery today as we head south out of Kakadu. We'll stop for a swim at either Gumlom or Edith Falls. Then get ready to experience the enormity of Nitmiluk National Park and the Katherine River Gorge System with an optional gorge cruise, bush walk or canoe trip. Katherine to Tennant Creek (1 Days) Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal waters of Mataranka Thermal Pools or take a look at the Elsey Homestead. Onwards to one of the Territory's oldest watering holes for lunch before arriving in the true outback town of Tennant Creek. Tennant Creek to Alice Springs (1 Days) Before we leave the site of Australia's last gold rush all nuggets that have been found will quickly be passed onto the Contiki crew. It's then on to the Devils Marbles and across the Tropic of Capricorn. Time to say a final farewells to your fellow travellers as your tour ends on arrival in Alice Springs.
