As one of Australia’s oldest and best known winemaking regions, the Barossa Valley provides wine lovers with a memorable experience of some 60 wineries. This intimate tour is designed for the more serious wine lovers and provides a brilliant cross section of the finest wines the Barossa Valley has to offer (Wolf Blass, Beer Bros. Wines and Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, Barossa Valley Estates, Langmeil Winery and Chateau Tanunda). (B,L)

 

Day 3 - Sunday: The Ghan to Alice Springs

Day 4 - Monday: Alice Springs
After arriving in Alice Springs you’ll have time to look around town or enjoy a Whistle Stop Tour (additional cost) before reboarding the train and enjoying the desert scenery as you continue your journey north overnight. (B,L,D)

 

Day 5 - Tuesday: Katherine and Darwin
In the morning you arrive in Katherine with approximately four hours to look around town or enjoy a spectacular Whistle Stop Tour (additional cost) at Katherine Gorge.

Day 7 – Thursday: Litchfield National Park
Travel along the Arnhem Highway to the Adelaide River and join the one hour Jumping Crocodiles boat cruise. Saltwater Crocodiles roam the waterways of Northern Australia and you will be amazed to see these massive reptiles propelling themselves out of the water for a tasty reward. Next stop Litchfield National Park where you will spend the afternoon exploring. Florence Falls is a spectacular double waterfall set amid monsoon forest. The lookout here provides a panoramic view. Tolmer Falls cascades over two high escarpments into a distant, deep, plunge pool. The bottom of the Falls is home to several colonies of rare Ghost Bats and Orange Horseshoe Bats. Wangi Falls flows into a large swimming hole surrounded by lush monsoonal rainforest. Be sure to bring your bathers to cool off here! From a distance the huge termite mounds look like tombstones.
