OVERVIEW

During this time of COVID, there has never been a better time to see some of our own great country! At Selah, we try and incorporate quality God time in your travel and so we are excited to offer the Northern Territory Top End Adventure to include 2 days at the Katherine Christian Convention (KCC). The convention is held annually and includes quality Bible teaching, prayer, worship and of course fellowship with local Christians. Add to this time in Darwin, Arnhem Land, Kakadu and Litchfield National Park and you have a really special Selah experience.

ITINERARY

Monday 26 April 2021: Arrive Darwin

Welcome to Darwin, the Northern Territory’s tropical capital. Arrive and enjoy a welcome dinner together. Be greeted by the Bishop of the Northern Territory for a talk about Faith and life in NT.

Hotel: Mantra Esplanade Hotel, Darwin

Included Meals:

Tuesday 27 April 2021: Darwin – Arnhem Land

There’s no time to waste, so get cracking at 6.50 am and hit the road to Wulna Country, where your Limilngan-Wulna hosts – the land’s Traditional Owners – will greet you with a Cul Cul or ‘Welcome to Country’. Learn about their culture during bush tucker talks and didgeridoo and basket weaving demonstrations. Continue to the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land for a Guluyumbi cruise along the East Alligator River with a Bininj guide. Learn about the cultural importance of the East Alligator River to the Bininj people and take in the tranquillity and rugged beauty. Back on land, jump in a private vehicle and drive to Arnhem Land’s Mawurndaddja. This sacred complex (only recently opened to visitors) has a spectacular series of rock art that research indicates is over 50,000 years old.
Spend the afternoon exploring this atmospheric site and learning about its history from your guide. Head to Kakadu for a 2-night stay.

Hotel: Anbinik Kakadu Resort, Bush Bungalows

Included Meals:

Wednesday 28 April 2021: Kakadu National Park

After fuelling up with an early breakfast, head to Jim Jim Falls, Kakadu's most iconic natural attraction. Take a challenging walk through monsoon forest and over boulders, then recharge with a cooling dip in the clear waters beneath the falls. After lunch head to Anbangbang, another incredible site that features ancient art on what was originally Warramal land. Sadly, there are no surviving Warramal people, so the care of the site is maintained by the neighbouring Mirarr and Djok communities. This afternoon, you have the option of taking a scenic flight over Kakadu (extra cost) or visiting the Bowli Cultural Centre.

Hotel: Anbinik Kakadu Resort, Bush Bungalows

Included Meals:

Thursday 29 April 2021: Kakadu National Park

After breakfast, head to either Gunlom Falls or Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) for a swim in another pristine waterhole. Maguk flows down the steep walls of rugged gorge into a beautiful natural plunge pool, while the steep climb to the Gunlom Falls plunge pool is rewarded with sweeping views of Kakadu and the welcome shade of gum trees. Neither option will disappoint. After a relaxing morning, it’s time to hit the road. Stop in the old gold-mining town of Pine Creek for lunch before continuing for another 3 hours to your private campsite on the doorstep of Nitmiluk National Park. Once comfortable, have dinner with the group before settling in under the stars for the night.

Hotel: Nitmiluk Tented Camp (safari tents)

Included Meals:

Friday 30 April 2021: Nitmiluk National Park - Katherine

Spend the day exploring the deep Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge and greater Nitmiluk National Park, a wonderland of colours, ancient rock art, waterfalls and wildlife. While here, you can explore on foot or choose to take a cruise or rental a kayak to get a closer look. Keep in mind that these optional activities are seasonal and at your own expense. In the afternoon, travel to Edith Falls, a hidden oasis of clear, cool waters surrounded by bronze boulders. After a quick swim in the huge rock pools, continue to Katherine.

Hotel: Ibis Styles, Katherine

Jono Wright spoke at KCC in 2016, at Morrow‘s Farm, on Grace and Law. He did such a good job we had to have him back. Jono will be bringing teaching from the books of Samuel, looking into the lives of Saul and David, two of the earliest kings of God’s people Israel. This year the theme is: “Three Kings under One God: A look into the lives of King Saul and King David.”

Jono has worked in Camooweal and nearby Alyawarr communities teaching God‘s Word and encouraging the local churches. After 13 years in Camooweal Jono and his family moved to rural Victoria in 2018 for some rest and some time to work out what God want s them to do next. Jono and Grace have a heart for the NT and to see God‘s people and His church going from strength to strength.
