Top End tours top-shelf for memories<br />

The Northern Territory<br />

is home to a land of<br />

contrasts, from the Red<br />

Centre’s majestic natural<br />

wonders to the Top End’s<br />

vibrant floodplains and<br />

hidden waterfalls.<br />

A visit the heartland of Australia<br />

will reveal traditional<br />

Indigenous culture, where<br />

you can view beautiful rock<br />

art dating back thousands of<br />

years, sample delicious and<br />

authentic bush tucker and<br />

hear stories of the land and<br />

‘Dreamtime’.<br />

TravelView’s Sharon Godden<br />

says when you explore Australia’s<br />

Top End with Inspiring<br />

Journeys’ ‘Kakadu’s Ancient<br />

Secrets’ tour you will discover<br />

another side of the Outback –<br />

a land of untamed wilderness,<br />

winding rivers, lush wetlands<br />

and spectacular wildlife.<br />

“Begin your five-day journey<br />

exploring serene Litchfield<br />

National Park, where you can<br />

swim in the secluded pools<br />

of Wangi and Florence Falls,”<br />

Sharon said. “Spot beautiful<br />

birds and awe-inspiring<br />

saltwater crocodiles with a<br />

morning safari cruise on the<br />

Mary River. Take in spectacular<br />

views of Kakadu National<br />

Park from Gunlom Falls and<br />

marvel at the iconic sights<br />

of Katherine River’s gorges<br />

and canyons. Be immersed<br />

rock art galleries of Ubirr and<br />

Nourlangie and learn traditional<br />

lodges, enjoy the comfort<br />

Sharon added Inspiring Journeys’<br />

immersive experiences, from<br />

stylish accommodation and<br />

4WD vehicles to distinctive<br />

meals that capture the essence<br />

of a destination,” she<br />

said.<br />

“You’ll be mesmerised by<br />

the magic of a Red Centre<br />

sunrise and delve into the<br />

ancient history of Uluru and<br />

Kata Tjuta… hike to the top<br />

of Kings Canyon and be<br />

rewarded with breathtaking<br />
