An extraordinary wilderness experience on the coastal flood plains of the Mary River delta in the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory. Situated just west of Kakadu National Park, Bamurru Plains is an utterly exclusive bush camp that exudes Wild Bush Luxury, bringing a touch of style to a remote and beautiful wilderness region.

Wild Bush Luxury - A style of accommodation more akin to some of the safari camps in Africa, Bamurru Plains attraction lies in the birdlife and wildlife of the surrounding floodplains and savannah woodland. However, we realize that while an exclusive bush experience does not need to be 5 star in the traditional sense, there are key elements that are crucial to a truly exclusive stay in the bush: a supremely comfortable bed and quality linen, great bathrooms, good food & wine and excellent guiding. The style of experience is utterly exclusive, rustically chic and totally in tune with the surrounding country.

Inclusions: Airstrip transfers, all meals, drinks from the bar. Activities included are an airboat safari, guided walking, boating on the Sampan River and guided wildlife drives.

Transfer to the Airstrip early in the morning; board your charter flight to Jabiru in Kakadu National Park for a full day SMALL GROUP TOUR of Arnhem Land and Kakadu.

Access to Arnhem Land is restricted to a select group of guides they know the people and the country intimately. Arnhem Land is perhaps the one area in Australia where indigenous culture is still dominant, despite a long history of interacting with other cultures. While in Arnhem Land an Aboriginal guide will show you excellent examples of rock art on Injalak Hill (Long Tom Dreaming), this area has some of the best rock art examples in Western Arnhem Land and some say Australia.

The view from the top of the hill is simply breathtaking, looking out across the floodplains and around the escarpment. Back at the Injalak Art & Craft Centre there is an opportunity to browse or purchase goods from this non-profit Aboriginal organization and to watch the traditional Aboriginal people painting and the women weaving pandanus baskets. In the afternoon explore a remote valley - stunning scenery, billabongs, birds, the escarpment and a place to imagine the life of the Aboriginal people who have been at home here for 50,000 years or more. Lunch and entrance fees as well as guide services are included.

In the late afternoon you will be returned to Bamurru Plains by charter flight.

During your stay at Bamurru Plains your hosts will plan your daily activities to suit your interests and your mood. Included activities are an airboat safari, guided walking, boating on the Sampan River and guided wildlife drives. This area is known for its wildlife and wallabies, dingoes, brumbies, buffalo, goannas all make regular appearances, however it is the prolific birdlife that makes this area a unique nature attraction.

A typical day at Bamurru may begin with an early morning coffee and muffin being delivered to your room as the sun rises. Climb aboard the airboats for an excursion across the flood plains, spotting crocodiles and startling the Magpie Geese into flight. In the shade of the paperbark trees, in the lily ponds, stop for a quiet morning tea and return to camp as the sun heats the day. Now there is time for a siesta, a swim, to read a book or quiz your guide for more information on this remarkable place. Lunch is followed by an afternoon activity, perhaps a guided walk or a gentle cruise down the Sampan River. Return to the camp in the evening, in time for a shower and dinner with your fellow travellers.

Enjoy your 25 minute charter flight back to the Darwin Airport for your onward journey.

Upon you arrival into the Australasian Terminal, please make yoru way back to the Darwin Terminal to the Air North check in.

Please note - you cross time zones here, so you arrive before you depart!

This morning, your charter flight will take you from the Kununurra Airport across the vast acres of Bullo River Station to the Homestead.

Please note, you actually cross back over the border from WST to CST again.

Bullo River Station is true five star wilderness experince. Located in the top western corner of the Northern Territory of Australia. It has been in the Henderson family since the late 50s when Charles Henderson - a pioneering American - purchased the 1 million acre, undeveloped cattle property.

Today Bullo River Station is 1/2 million acres and operated by Marlee (nee Henderson) and Franz Ranacher. The Bullo River meanders for over 50 miles through a spectacular valley on the property. The river goes from the lush fresh water Bullo Gorge to the mighty saltwater tidal Victoria River, which also forms the eastern boundary of the property. The name "Bullo" means butterfly in local Aboriginal and there are many along the river.

The property has abundant bird life and native fauna because of the natural permanent waters, and some of the best barramundi fishing (Australia's Top End premier angling and eating fish) in the area.

Bullo River Station is managed as a commercial cattle property running 8000 head of Brahman cross cattle for the export cattle trade. Horses and helicopters are used to muster and handle the stock on a seasonal basis. Cattle work is done primarily in the cooler winter months of May to August.

A helicopter is based full time on Bullo River Station and is highly recommended as the best way to take in this huge expanse.

Marlee and Franz welcome families, couples, small groups and solo travellers to Bullo River Station. You will be treated to their renowned Top End hospitality and will feel like family friends rather than tourists. Bullo River Station offers the opportunity to experience cattle station life on a unique and very remote part of Australia.

Note - the Bullo River Station offers 5 star wilderness experience like no other and accommodations are rated approximately as approximately 3 1/2 stars.

Please note that due to the nature of running a property of this size, it sometimes means that either Marlee or Franz may be personally unavailable during certain periods especially during the mustering season. A small team of dedicated guides are on hand to ensure you are well looked after and will miss nothing of the Bullo River experience.

Inclusions: All meals, scheduled activities, beer & wine with meals.l

Your two and a half hour flight departs the Station and once in the air follow the Bullo River, your pilot will highlight the many landmarks of this spectacular land. Such as where the driveway separates from the River and its path over the Pinkerton Range to Auvergne Station, then the Victoria Highway that goes all the way to Broome. Take in the Bullo River Gorge and sometimes the Bullo waterfall and discover the station shape and size. En route to the Bungles, depending on visibility perhaps see Kununurra and Lake Argyle.

The flight converges with the southern shoreline of the lake. The Ord Dam was constructed over three years from 1972, and the lake it formed is the largest manmade lake in the southern hemisphere (8th largest in the world). The lake capacity is up to 38 times Sydney Harbour. As you move away from the Lake your pilot will point out the Ord River and the Bow River Diamond Mine, before descending to a lower 2,500ft to for the flight around the Bungle Bungle Ranges.

Purnululu National Park, the Main Massif rises 250 m and before 1983 was only know to local aboriginal, farmer and pilots. The Bungle Bungle is the result of 20 million years of weathering which have produced the eroded sandstone towers and banded beehive structures. The distinctive coloured stripes are due to iron oxide and algae growth. The Piccaninny Gorge is the best known, along with the Cathedral and Deep Gorges. The pilot will pass around more detailed information sheets during the flight.

Depart the Bungle Bungles and track towards Kununurra, climbing to 5,500ft passing overhead Argyle Diamond Mine (ADM). ADM began in 1983 and since 1985 over 670 million carats of diamonds have been extracted, (about 15kg per day). In terms of volume ADM is the world largest mine, accounting for between a quarter and a third of the worlds production.

When overhead Kununurra we look at the diversion dam and can see some of the 100 farms that the irrigations scheme supports, and talk about the various crops grown in the area. On the way back to Bullo River and if time allows we fly over the neighbouring Station Legune and talk about the wet and dry season. This station has a different landscape when compare to Bullo. On descent back into Bullo we pass interesting rock formations and Lesley Lake.

Filling your days at Bullo is never a chore with a range of activities on offer to suit all interests and each can be tailored to your wishes. Try fishing for Barramundi along a lovely stretch of the Bullo River – even the novice fisherman are guaranteed an action packed day matching wits with Australia’s most famous fighting fish! Enjoy tours and interpretation of Aboriginal art sites, cruise down the Bullo River Gorge by boat to fish or spot crocodiles, whilst taking in the landscape that is Northern Australia. You might like to try cattle mustering or horse riding depending on your riding ability and on the station's mustering schedule. Bushwalks, bird and wildlife watching or travel to scenic vantage spots to perhaps sketch or paint – the choices are plentiful. Picnic lunches are enjoyed by peaceful billabongs or under the shade of the magnificent boab trees. With transport options that include 4WD, quad bike, helicopter, horseback, boat or light aircraft – your adventure awaits!!

For an incredible adventure (extra charge), take a helicopter ride and become familiar with this awesome property. There are several large freshwater swimming holes and waterfalls high up in the escarpment away from the crocodiles which can only be accessed by helicopter and whilst it is an additional cost this is a wonderful way to explore parts of the property that are inaccessible by any other means. The view of Bullo’s vastness from a chopper is truly breathtaking and comes highly recommend.

There is a maximum of 3 passengers in the helicopter at a time.

All activities on offer are included in the nightly rate with additional cost only for helicopter and Bungle Bungle trips.

This morning, your charter flight will take you across the vast acres of Bullo River Station to Kununurra for your ongoing travels.
