 Australia: Aboriginal Culture: Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris
Situated in the northwest corner of Arnhemland and adjacent to Kakadu National Park and Cobourg Peninsula in Australia's Northern Territory, lies a vast sub-tropical savannah that has been described as a national treasure trove depicting ancient human occupation, and a pristine wilderness area hosting myriad ecosystems and wildlife inhabitants.
This is where you escape the pressures of civilisation and become a student of nature. Davidson's Arnhemland Safaris and camp will guide you through a series of educative adventures of your own choice, in an environment where the Aboriginal association with the land is constantly on display. Richly descriptive rock paintings depict events of the distant past.
Due to the remoteness and untamed beauty of the camp, access is usually via air charter from Darwin or Jabiru, with breath-taking scenic views of river systems, floodplains and the Arnhemland Escarpment. (4WD access is optional during the dry season from May to October). Arriving at the private airstrip you make the short journey to the main base camp in an open 4WD vehicle.
Comfortable, airy twin-share tents with 240 volt power and external lighting surround the main complex, a social hub fully screened and incorporating a kitchen, dining area, library and briefing room. Permanent toilet and shower blocks with hot and cold water are situated at the outer fringe of the camp, as is a laundry facility. Delicious home-style meals are served in the dining room and nourishing picnic lunches and refreshments supplied for all-day excursions. |
