Each Desert Track tour takes you on an ancient journey of how Tjukurpa (creation lore) has been passed down by generations of native Australians. They open up their traditional and sacred land and pass on their stories of morality and creation so you can understand how the local Pitjantjatjara and Yunkunyjatjara people have lived off this arid landscape for thousands of years.
Visit Kakadu's ancient rock art galleries and enjoy bushwalking in unspoiled country, swim in clear waters at the base of towering red ochre escarpment cliffs, cruise on a tranquil billabong full of saltwater crocodiles, and perhaps visit Arnhem Land to view Aboriginal rock art galleries, with an Aboriginal Guide on hand to provide explanation and interpretation.
From the outset this journey leads you into some of the most wonderful dry country you can experience. Setting out early you cross the Little Annan River where you view the mighty Annan gorge and then on to Kings Plain lagoons for a spot of bird watching.
