Contiki Photo Of The Day: Yellow Water, Kakadu National Park

While there are many mad and exciting times on a Contiki trip, there are also moments of utter tranquillity – and Yellow Water definitely provides the latter.

There’s nothing yellow about the water in this peaceful oasis. A beautiful billabong in Australia’s biggest national park, the crystal waters, scenery and wildlife are truly astounding. Spot eagles hovering above for prey, and keep a look out for crocodiles, the most famous resident of the Northern Territory.

Above all, Yellow Water is an example of the very different landscape of Kakadu. This wetland region is surrounded by widespread vegetation, rocky escarpment, dry desert, pounding waterfalls and Aboriginal rock art dating back thousands of years, and you can take it all in on the 11-day Outback Adventure or the epic Big Walkabout over 24/25 days.

Providing tours of Australia from 3-25 days, if you’ve only got a few weeks to travel or if you’re looking to experience Australia and make new friends along the way, definitely consider organised group travel as an option. It’s great to share your experiences with like-minded people, and even better if they’re with you for the ride.
