Kakadu & Top End
Jawoyn Explorer
May 7-27, 2017
- Arnhem Land This is one of our only two trips which has gone into Arnhem Land.
- Aboriginal Guides The group should be accompanied by one or more local Aboriginal guides.
- Aboriginal art You see a variety of rock paintings in a variety of styles, explained by one of the descendents of those who put them there.
- Exclusive access. This area is out of bounds to the general public. You are unlikely to see anyone but the members of your group anywhere along the route.
- The Barunga Festival could add an interesting finish if we delay the departure by a week. We'll leave that decision to the first few who book. More about the Barunga Festival.
- Gorges, waterfalls and wonderful campsites where you can relax and enjoy the tropical bush around you. Some days you don't even have to carry your pack.

Helicopter help.
A helicopter food drop cuts the amount of food you need to carry in half.
The helicopter allows you to do either half of the trip on its own.
You get a scenic flight through the little known upper gorge on the Katherine River. In some ways this is even more spectacular than the one the tourists visit far downstream.
Terrain and difficulty. Although most of the terrain is not particularly difficult, there are a number of creek crossings and some fairly rough terrain. People who have never done any off-track walking are likely to find it more difficult than those who have had such experience.
Don't even think about booking until you've read the Jawoyn Explorer detailed trip notes.
Special Note
It has been many years since we last had the bookings to run this trip. We need to renegotiate all permissions before we can run it again. Given the time it takes on both sides, we will not begin this until we have expressions of interest in the trip.
