highlight for many will be our visit<br />
to see the distant cousins of the<br />
dinosaurs, the Komodo dragons.<br />
These rare huge lizards grow up<br />
to twelve feet in length and were<br />
only known to the western world<br />
in 1910 when a Dutch lieutenant<br />
first laid eyes on them. Escorted<br />
by the island’s wardens in the<br />
national park, we will walk to the<br />
dragons’ old feeding station,<br />
seeing dragons in the wild. We also<br />
hope to see frigate birds, white<br />
buffalo and long tailed monkeys.<br />
This afternoon we will relax on<br />
Pink Beach which offers fantastic<br />
snorkelling opportunities.<br />
Day 23 - Flores Islands. The<br />
Portuguese were the first<br />
westerners to land here in the 16th<br />
century and their influence is still<br />
evident in the Christianity of the<br />
island. Today, the island is known<br />
for its active volcanoes, fascinating<br />
indigenous cultures and hand<br />
woven textiles. On our tour today<br />
we will explore the island including<br />
the south coast village of Sikka.<br />
Day 24 - Alor. Today we reach<br />
the Solor Alor archipelago and the<br />
island of Alor, home to indigenous<br />
tribal groups renowned for their<br />
Moko drum culture. This is a<br />
stunningly beautiful island with its<br />
smouldering volcanoes reaching<br />
down into crystal clear waters<br />
fringed with pristine coral reefs,<br />
coconut palm beaches of pure<br />
white sand and traditional villages<br />
built half way up mountainsides.<br />
Day 25 - Dili, East Timor. We<br />
have the full day to explore East<br />
Timor’s coastal and mountainous<br />
areas. It is a stunningly beautiful<br />
place and our explorations will<br />
include Dili and the old hilltowns of<br />
Maubisse and Aileu.<br />
Day 26 - At sea.<br />
Day 27 - Darwin, Northern<br />
Territory. From the port of Darwin<br />
we head south for a full day at<br />
Litchfield National Park. This<br />
fascinating national park features<br />
numerous waterfalls which cascade<br />
from a sandstone plateau called<br />
the Tabletop Range, monsoon<br />
rainforests, intriguing magnetic<br />
termite mounds and historical<br />
sites. We will visit Florence and<br />
Wangi Falls before relaxing at<br />
Buley Rock Hole for a swim. A<br />
local lunch will be served before<br />
we return to the ship.<br />
Day 28 - Coburg Peninsula,<br />
Australia. Today we arrive at<br />
the Garig Gunak Barlu National<br />
Park. It is known for its pristine<br />
wilderness and its Aboriginal<br />
culture. While it is only sparsely<br />
inhabited today, it was once the<br />
site of two failed attempts at<br />
founding a major trading port<br />
on its northern shores, Fort<br />
Wellington at Raffles Bay and<br />
Fort Victoria at Port Essington,<br />
of which the ruins are still<br />
accessible today.<br />
Day 29 - Wessell Islands. We<br />
explore the beautiful islands of<br />
the Wessel Group. Here our<br />
expert guides and lecturers will<br />
share with you the fascinating<br />
history of the Macassan traders<br />
and early discoverers. The islands<br />
are also home to the largest<br />
Aboriginal community in northeast<br />

from Zodiacs on Cape York to<br />
stand on Australia’s northernmost<br />
