You can enjoy a swim in the plunge pools at the base of the falls or explore the surrounding monsoon rainforest. We also take a look at the park's unique and intriguing termite mounds. In the afternoon we leave the national park via the small township of Batchelor and return to Darwin for our nights accommodation.

Day 4
Approximately 220km east of Darwin lies one of Australia's best known treasures, Kakadu National Park. Leaving Darwin, we travel the Arnhem Highway across the Adelaide River and Marrakai Plains. A wide variety of native wildlife has made this region their home. We stop at Nourlangie Rock where your Driver/Guide will lead a walk to view ancient Aboriginal rock art. After lunch (available for purchase), we join our local guide for a cruise on the famous Yellow Water Billabong. Search for saltwater crocodiles and colourful birdlife on these lily-covered wetlands. Finally visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre with its informative displays depicting the traditions of the Aboriginal people in Kakadu, before returning to Darwin.

Join The Ghan for the only North-South Transcontinental Train journey in the world. Pausing in Katherine, you have the opportunity to cruise through Nitmiluk National Park. Continue your journey mid-afternoon to Alice Springs. Travelling through the Red Centre, you arrive in Adelaide on the second day. Make your own way to the airport for afternoon flight home.
