As you leave the magnificant MacDonald Ranges behind, embark on your Outback adventure by headning North along the Stuart Highway to the outback town ot Tennant Creek, situated right in the very heart of the Northern Territory. With over 5 hours of driving, be sure to plan your stops along the way at place like Prowse Gap, Taylor Creek and Devils Marbles.

Suggested Activity: Towards the latter half of your drive to Tennant Creek is Karlu Karlu, also known as Devils Marbles. These "round boulders", as their name translates to, are a stunning rock formation that have almost become synonymous with the Australia Outback, and will make a worthwile place for a final stop on your journey to Tennant Creek.

Today will require slightly more driving than the previous day, so be sure to get an early start as you get back onto the dusty open road. Again, make sure you pre plan your stops, with the likes of Newcastle Waters, Daly Waters and Warloch, all offering rest stop facilies and supplies.

Suggested Activity: Just over half way between Tennant Creek and Katherines is Daly Waters, aptly named with its historic outback pub. Remarkably, this was the site of Australia's first international airport in 1934. Aftreall, Australia's international airline, Qantas, stands for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services. Since 1938 it has continuously operated as a licensed venue, making this remote watering hole as much of an outback museum as it is a pub.

With no driving today you are free to enjoy the natural wonders that the Katherine region has to offer, including the nearby Nitmiluk Gorge, the Katherine Springs or the Cutta Cutta Caves. Today we have arranged a 2 hour Nit Nit Dreaming cruise to show you the wonders of the Nitmiluk Gorge. On the Nit Nit Dreaming cruise you will discover the cultural significance of the first 2 gorges to the traditional landowners - the Jawoyn people. Enjoy a journey of discovery through the magnificent Nitmiluk Gorge.

Most of today's three hour drive from Katherine will be spent driving through the awe inspring Kakadu National Park, priving several opportunities to stop along the way before reaching the main visitor centre on the North-Eastern reaches of the park.

Suggested Activity: Call in at Pine Creek, the last township before heading East off the Stuart Highway towards Kakadu, before stopping at Bukbukluk Lookout and then again at Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba), an expansive wetland with boat cruises and boardwalked trails on offer.

With a free day to explore the ancient surrounds of Kakadu National Park, be sure to be up early enough to make the most of what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable day.

Suggested Activity: Estimated to be at least 20,000 years old, the World Heritage-Listed rock art on the walls Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) are an absolute must for any visit to Kakadu, sittuated only half hour from your accommodation.

Sadly today marks the end of your enchanting Northern Terriory discovery, following your three hour drive to Dawrin, the Territory's largest city and capital.

Suggested Activity: On your way out of the park back towards the Stuart Highway, call in at the Mamukala Wetlands, described as a birt watcher's paradise, with boardwalked trails on offer.
