A Magical Adventure to Australia’s Northern Territory
G?day Mates!
I?ve just returned from the most magical adventure to Australia?s Northern Territory where I took a wonderful three day private adventure through Kakadu National Park, Arnhemland and the Mary River Region with our hand selected specialist guide, Sab Lord. His passion, close relationships with the Aboriginal people and love of the incredible environment filled my heart. The additional pleasure of walking through the sacred sights of Arnhemland with an Aboriginal guide and learning the stories of the rock paintings created by his forefathers was a breathtaking experience.
During the tour, Sab Lord proved to be a knowledgeable and entertaining guide as well as wonderful chef catering for any dietary needs. Our final evening at luxurious Bamarru Plains and discovering the beauty of the Mary River wetlands brought the joy of the Top End to a wonderful reality.
As a travel designer who has hand crafted luxury itineraries for thousands of travelers I?d recommend a journey with Sab to people who wish to discover
the rugged beauty of our vast land.
Until our next adventure?

Australia’s National Parks

Adjacent to Kakadu National Park lies a vast subtropical savannah that has been described as a national treasure trove depicting ancient human occupation and a pristine wilderness area hosting myriad ecosystems and wildlife inhabitants. The Aboriginal association with the land is constantly on display in Kakadu National Park where richly descriptive rock paintings from 50,000 years ago depict events of the distant past. Let us send you to this ancient area where your hosts, Max Davidson’s passionate devotion to the area and its people has developed into a relationship of trust and respect with the traditional owners.

Australian Outback
ARKAROOLA – SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Arkaroola is a 380 square miles privately owned wildlife sanctuary in the rugged Northern Flinders Ranges just to the east of the Gammon Ranges National Park in South Australia. The surrounding area includes spectacular arid zone mountain terrain, picturesque gorges, water holes and wildlife unique to the area. It is a truly fascinating region with dramatic, ancient hills where some of the rocks are estimated to be older 1,000 million years and marine fossils are being found from 600 million years ago giving proof to the fact that our Outback was once an inland sea.
BROKEN HILL – NEW SOUTH WALES

People used to say that you would find Broken Hill beyond the Darling River on the edge of the sundown, as if there was nowhere further to travel in Australia.
Perhaps it was the feeling of being confronted by an unspeakably vast space that looked like an inland sea rolling into the sunset. The desolate landscape surrounding Broken Hill is like driving towards a painting of soft mauve and sage hues. Is it any wonder the city has become known as a Mecca for artists? It is there that the magnificent clear blue skies and the magic light are much loved by film makers from Mad Max 2 to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
It is in Broken Hill that the big red kangaroos will run one hundred and twenty five miles in a night chasing a thunderstorm, and the unique Sturt Desert Peas bloom in dark red soils. The Tower Mulloch heaps around Broken Hill represent billions of dollars spent on mining that drove the economy of a fledgling nation. In this historic city it is easy to be reminded of the struggles of the pioneers. What greater adventure can there be than to travel to the Australian Outback via the Indian Pacific train where our special guide will meet you at railway station when you arrive in Broken Hill. You will be taken on a journey through the national parks to discover the Outback and the opal mining area of White Cliffs. There will be time to noodle for opals as you walk around in the old field At Lightening Ridge you will discover the true meaning of the word remote Here people live in houses built under the ground to escape the extreme heat of the Aussie sun.
