Audley in the Top End
Australia’s Top End plays host to some of its most intriguing wildlife and Aboriginal heritage. Darwin is a vibrant, hot city with an undeniable dynamism whose surrounding countryside of monsoon rainforest, Outback escarpments and remote billabongs shelter an army of wildlife from crocodiles and kangaroos to sea eagles and Jesus birds. Though you can glimpse the natural world through daytrips we believe it takes longer to explore the vast wilderness: we reach often overlooked areas including Kakadu, Lichfield National Park, the Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land and the Coburg Peninsula with its Seven Spirit Bay.
We offer small-group tours that experience Outback farming life with visits to remote stations. The extreme seasons of the Top End may affect your travel plans, the best time to visit is the dry season, from April to October. After this the weather gets very hot and humid until the ‘wet’, from November to March, washes out roads and turns plains into swamps.
