Mysterious and beautiful, Arnhem Land is a vast area more than 4 times the size of Kakadu National Park. Inhabited by about 18,000 Aboriginal people and largely untouched by tourism development, the home of the world's oldest living culture has only recently become accessible to a tightly restricted number of visitors.

Learn about a society which has survived from ancient times to the present day, and where many still choose to follow the traditional way of life.

This region is famous world wide for its awesome galleries of rock art, some of which possibly date back 60,000 years. Your private guide will escort you to some of the best sites including Long Tom Dreaming at Injalak, one of the finest rock art sites in the world. An aboriginal guide will explain the historical and cultural significance associated with each site. You will have the opportunity to purchase authentic Aboriginal artwork direct from the artists.

Experience the unique wetland areas that are host to an astonishing array of bird, animal and marine life. Photograph the myriad of birdlife that inhabits the floodplain. Cruise through billabongs and paperbark swamps where the Jacana (or Jesus bird) walks the waters on an aquatic forest of lily pads.

Large saltwater crocodiles inhabit the billabongs and where you find them, you also find our famous fighting game fish, the barramundi. There's every chance in the world that you'll catch a fine dinner.

Take a refreshing swim in a crocodile free rockhole and ensure that you have plenty of film on hand for the great photographic opportunities that will come your way. Spend a day or two indulging in the activities of your choice in this wilderness wonderland.
