In the afternoon, you will take a wildlife cruise to spot crocodiles before returning to Darwin.

This morning, you will fly from Darwin to Davidson's Arnhemland by charter flight. As you fly to the property, you will fly over the remote lands of Arnhem Land, which are filled with rugged billabongs and flood plains and are a great place to spot Australian wildlife. Spend the next three nights in this remote region of Australia.

Today, explore the region around Mount Borradaile. The property includes several experiences as part of your stay, or you can upgrade your experiences to adventure further afield.

Spend another day exploring the Arnhem Land region. We recommend taking a floodplain boat ride through the local rainforest to see some waterfalls and floodplains.

Transfer back to Darwin today via a chartered light aircraft from Bamurru Plains. Upon arrival, you will be met by a driver who will transfer you to The Ghan Expedition in time for your four-day, three-night train expedition, which will see you travel 2,979 kilometres (1,851 miles) from Darwin to the southern city of Adelaide. The first leg of your journey will take you to the Top End township of Katherine and the option to take a relaxing cruise through the Nitmiluk Gorge.

You'll wake this morning to a different set of landscapes, with the tropical north giving way to the spectacular Red Centre overnight. A full day of excursions is on the menu today in the Outback town of Alice Springs, you may wish to speak to your specialist to upgrade to a scenic flight to Uluru as part of your day's adventure. Dinner will be served under the stars tonight at the historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station.

If you haven't quite grasped the scale of the Australian Outback by now, then today you almost certainly will as your Ghan Expedition travels to the weird and wonderful opal mining township of Coober Pedy, a town unique not just for its link to opals but also the fact that more than half of the residents live underground.

You'll see a dramatic change of landscapes today as your journey comes out of the Red Centre and edges closer to the coast and the cosmopolitan city of Adelaide. You'll arrive in Adelaide mid-morning, where you'll be transferred to your hotel and spend the next two nights of your itinerary.

Today you will be picked up from your Adelaide accommodations and be taken on a private wine tour of the world-famous Barossa Valley. Here you will get to explore the timeless vineyards that have made Australian Shiraz a favourite around the world.

Depart Adelaide on a 20-minute flight to Kangaroo Island where your wildlife adventure continues. Your guide will meet you at the airport and whisk you away on a safari-style expedition to meet the locals — koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, Australian sea lions and fur seals.

Continue on your exploration of Kangaroo Island with the included touring or you may choose to unwind with a good book and relax at your accommodation.

Today you will fly back for your final night in Australia where you will take in the comfort and scenery of the Adelaide Hills. Sequoia Lodge, one of Australia's Luxury Lodges, is the perfect place to splurge and relax after two weeks of Australian expeditions.
