Outstation
We meet in Darwin and then we drive in our 4wd Toyota to Jabiru in the Kakadu National Park were we will stay for two nights. At the campsite in Jabiru there is a nice pool, showers and restaurant.
During our stop in Jabiru we will also visit Nourlangie Rock to see the famous rock art, we also visit Ubirr and Bowali. After breakfast on day 2 we will cross East Alligator River and then travel further north to a remote Aboriginal outstaion. We will stay at this beautiful outstation for 5 days before we drive back to Darwin.

Swim in the river
Didjeridu master Darryl Dikarrna Brown will teach and play the Gunbork
repertoire for us. This is the traditional playing style of Central and
Western Arnhem land. We will craft our own instrument from logs which have
been cut and allowed to dry, which allows us to begin the work
immediately.We will also see a White Cockatoo Aboriginal Corroboree with
singing every night under the incredible southern stars. During our walks in
the bush we will see a beautiful country and take part of the daily life of
our friends who are traditional aboriginal people. We will get the chance to swim in the river and enjoy daily life at the outstation.

The costs of the vehicles, insurance, petrol, guides, fees etc in Australia
will be shared by the group. If you live outside Australia and Darwin there
will be an extra cost to get there. If you need any help with booking
flights etc, please let me know. I can also help you with booking
accomondation in Darwin.
This is not an organized tourist tour, which means that we all have to take
care of our own private insurances. We are a group of friends with a deep
interest in aboriginal culture. We want to share the cost of travelling
together, in a way that allows us to meet these people and get to know a
little about their remarkable culture through shared experiences.
(Accomodation*) In the bush we sleep outdoors in swags and tents. It is very
comfortable. Water, dry toilett and electricity is avaliable from a generator.
