Wet Season Spectacular (ex-Darwin)
Fly or train to Darwin. The Ghan departs Adelaide on Sundays 1220 arriving Tuesday 1730, or Wednesday 1220 arriving Friday 1830. Flights operate numerous times daily with most major airlines. We can arrange this travel for you, including additional overnight accommodation in Darwin, if required. We all meet for dinner at the hotel the night prior to departure to ensure a smooth start to the next morning.
Day 1: Darwin – King George Falls – Kununurra – Lake Argyle – Bullo River Station. Accommodation is at Bullo River Stations Guesthouse. Day 2: Bullo River Station Today 500,000 acres of rivers, gorges and wetlands are yours to explore – with the care and expertise of your hosts at Bullo River Station. 4WD, boats and helicopters will be employed to get you to some of the stations prettiest and most dramatic locations. Enjoy! This time of year is also optimal for barramundi fishing – once landed; the challenge is set for your chef to create your own impossibly fresh barra delight. Another night enjoying the premium hospitality at Bullo River Station. Day 3: Bullo River Station – Tindal – Katherine Gorge – Kakadu – Mt. Borradaile Following an early breakfast, depart skyward for an aerial exploration of the Katherine Gorge network, Kakadu (Jim Jim and Twin Falls) before crossing the East Alligator river and into Arnhem Land. Touch down outback style at the Borradaile airfield before being taken into the camp for a welcome and cuppa. Here your wonderful hosts Max Davidson and his team will ensure an adventure that makes clichés a reality. Two days at Mt. Borradaile offer numerous activities set amidst some of Arnhem Land’s most stunning scenery. An afternoon tour will leave you amazed at the sheer volume of water that the Wet produces, as you follow dry season roads in your boat! Accommodation is at Max Davidson’s Mt. Borradaile Camp. There are no en-suites here but modern bathrooms are not far away. Day 4: Mt. Borradaile Mount Borradaile’s 700km² lease is renowned for its abundance of high quality cave paintings with fine examples from the Freshwater, Contact and Estuarine periods, including the majestic Rainbow Serpent – one of the most potent symbols of aboriginal spiritualism. Expert commentary will explain why Borradaile is such a significant place. Lunch is served with a view, and more exploration to follow. Another draw card for the Wet is that you won’t be sharing the experience with the masses. Day 5: Mt. Borradaile – Darwin After a gentle beginning to the day learn about bush tucker and medicine in the region. A refreshing swim in a nearby billabong before lunch and your onward flight to Darwin arriving 1400.
Depart Darwin early morning tracking direct to the almighty King George Falls. This time of year these falls are thundering, as the King George River abruptly ends with an 80m freefall into the sea. Continue over the 5 rivers lookout in Wyndham and then on to the northern reaches of gigantic Lake Argyle. Arrive at Bullo River Station in the Territory for late lunch and an exploration of this station situated on the estuarine Bullo River, not far from the Queens Channel.
It’s time to rest, in dreamtime; accommodation is at Mt. Borradaile Camp
