Day 1 - Wet Season tour to Litchfield & Kakadu
Darwin to Litchfield
Begin your 3 day wet season adventure with a convenient 8 am pickup from the front of your accommodation. From that point forward you are on Top End time and at the complete mercy of mother nature. A sometimes moody host she can decide to put on a bit of a show (storm) or demonstrate her tender side of rainbows and butterflies. Lets hope for both.
Our playground / classroom today is the WATERFALL | PARADISE of Litchfield National Park. Sporting a variety of walks, swim spots, unique wildlife and wonderous views we are going to deep dive into it all.
Key beauties such as Wangi Falls, Florence Falls, Tolmer Falls! These are staples of this tour. As too the crazy big termite mounds and their enigmatic cousins, the magnetic termites. Try some seasonal bush foods of the non-toxic variety and learn the use of many more.
As the day draws to a close we seek confort locally on the fringe of Litchfield park where we can enjoy the fading light of the day and possibly spectacular shows of lightening.

Another humane start sees us enjoying a comprehensive continental breakfast.
Having filled our bellies and minds we head to Southern Kakadu where we stop for a spot of hiking and possibly a cooling swim in a tropical wet season creek system. From we follow the escarpment to Cooinda where we drop into the Warradjan Culture Centre. Shaped like the rare ‘Pig Nosed Turtle’ it is a storehouse for an eclectic array of indigenous culture tools, information and insights. A great way to add to your expanding knowledge base and preparation for what comes next.

After breaky we venture out into the wild to actually walk amongst the rich collection of art which adorns the rock walls of Burrungkuy (Nourlangie). Here we will see great examples of the various styles and stories in the paintings undertaking by the indigenous people of the region. A record of changing environment and human endeavour is clearly represented amongst these same paintings and provides great food for thought.
