If it’s a taste of ‘true blue Orrstraya’ you’re after, it’s ‘The Territory’ you head to.
Dusty, desolate expanses of desert. Waterways churning with crocs. Short shorts, wide-brimmed hats, toothy grins, a propensity for understatement and a larrikin streak – this is the Australia made known to millions by the likes of Crocodile Dundee, Malcolm Douglas and Steve Irwin.
Thing is, once you’ve subtracted the shrill cries of ‘Streuth!’ and ‘Crikey!’ (people don’t actually says this), how these characters have portrayed life up Territory way actually isn’t too far off the mark. The distances here really are that vast (most towns are hundreds of kilometres apart, some cattle stations outsize European countries). Wildlife’s everywhere (crocs appear in backyard swimming pools, green tree frogs love living in toilets). Outside of Darwin – and very often in it – everyday attire consists of shorts, a singlet, and thongs (or flip-flops, for out-of-towners). Hats with hanging corks to keep away the flies: optional.

I have just returned home after completing the 4 day Litchfield/Kakadu and Katherine tour. I can very easily state that this tour was all that I imagined …. and then some. Myself along with a fantastic group of people were accompanied by our guide Nick and shown some of what these areas have to offer. The information, stories and entertainment that were supplied by Nick added to a A+ experience. I would like to have my thanks passed on to Nick for being a fantastic guide and host. Must say that I have left a big piece of my heart in Kakadu…it was simply stunning. I will (and already have) highly recommend this tour through Adventure Tours! Thank you to one and all involved.
