DESCRIPTION

Arnhem Land is one of the last wilderness areas on earth and this day tour will encompass all the cultural and natural splendour that the region has to offer while providing all the benefits of air-conditioned comfort. On this Arnhem Land day tour from Darwin, a traditional Aboriginal guide will show you excellent examples of rock art on Injalak Hill (Long Tom Dreaming) – this area has some of the best rock art examples in Western Arnhem Land and some say Australia. The view from the top of the hill is simply breathtaking, looking out across the floodplains and around the escarpment.

When you farewell your Aboriginal guide back at the Injalak Art & Craft Centre you’ll have the opportunity to browse or purchase goods from this non-profit Aboriginal organisation. At the award winning Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre there is time to watch the traditional Aboriginal people painting and to see the women weaving pandanus baskets. This vast tract of nearly 100,000 sq km of land is one of Australia’s last strongholds of traditional Aboriginal culture. The Aboriginal people of East Arnhem Land call themselves Yolngu and today live a unique lifestyle blending the latest in western technology with timeless traditions.

With courtesy hotel pick ups, this small, personalised tour departs Mondays to Saturdays from May to October at 5:20am from Darwin and 8:30am from Jabiru to return at 7:30pm to Darwin and Jabiru at 4:30pm. This tour also includes lunch to be enjoyed during the day and caters for both vegetarians and Coeliacs on request.
