Day 3: Arnhem Land
We visit remote, mysterious and restricted areas of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. This is Aboriginal land - a unique area where Aboriginal people live a lifestyle more closely linked to their true culture and heritage. This 4WD tour will visit Mikinj Valley, a superbly scenic area of sandstone outcrops and escarpments, forest, floodplains and billabongs. With the co-operation of the Manilakarr people, this unique tour will allow you to see places inaccessible to most. Hear of traditional land ownership, learn of bush skills, hunting, food gathering and preparation. Return to Darwin arriving at approximately 9.30pm. (B L)
