Been dreaming of escaping to the Northern Territory’s Top End and Western Australia’s spectacular Kimberley region?<\/p>\n

Come with us in 2020 on a ten day dream trip covering more than 1,000km across the remote north-west corner of Australia.<\/p>\n

From the crocodiles, buffalo and magnetic antbeds of the Northern Territory’s Top End…<\/h3>\n
\"\"

Fancy wandering out the front of our Darwin Esplanade hotel to watch the sun setting over Darwin harbour? This is exactly what I did in January. Darwin is Australia’s only tropical city – during May the evenings are typically balmy and the days warm and sunny.<\/p><\/div>\n

…to the red cliffs and towering fan palms of the spectacular Victoria River District…<\/h3>\n
\"\"

We’ll be spending time in one of the most underrated landscapes in Australia – the Northern Territory’s Victoria River District – with towering sandstone escarpments and livistona ‘fan’ palms.<\/p><\/div>\n

…overnight beside the vast expanse of Lake Argyle, Australia’s largest irrigation dam, with an inflow rate second only to that of the Amazon…<\/h3>\n
\"\"

Lake Argyle is a RAMSAR site due to the amount of wildlife, which includes an estimated 30,000 freshwater crocodiles. It’s a spectacular sight so we’re staying overnight here.<\/p><\/div>\n

… to the farming oasis of Kununurra, in Western Australia’s East Kimberley region.
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"\"

After our night in the Lake Argyle Resort we take a boat downstream through Carlton Gorge to Kununurra. (Mobile phone image of Kelly’s Knob, taken just after a wet season downpour.)<\/p><\/div>\n

A trip designed especially for everyone who loves taking photographs (whether casual or dedicated), the Australian bush and the company of like-minded people.<\/p>\n

Inaugural outback photography tour <\/strong>– so we’ve kept the price at an introductory level.<\/p>\n

Numbers limited to 15<\/strong> – when these seats are sold, no more can squeeze on. It’s a personal tour.<\/p>\n

The departure date TBC<\/strong>\u00a0 – contact Fiona Lake<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

Answers to common questions –\u00a0 <\/strong>on the Top End & Kimberley Outback Photography Tour F.A.Q. page.<\/a><\/p>\n

Email Fiona Lake<\/a> or ring (07) 4728 4922 for a copy of the draft itinerary, inclusions, cost & to book.<\/p>\n

No two tours are identical and we may be in a completely different region the following year.<\/p>\n

\"\"

This tour has something for everyone – spectacular landscapes, remote area solitude, a huge variety of native wildlife – and a lot of fun. (Lake Argyle, mobile phone image – more than 20m deep here, wasn’t going to risk dropping my heavier cameras, I needed one free hand to swim back to the boat!)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
