Setting sail from Darwin
More of a large town than a city, Darwin is less about what's contained within the city limits and more about the huge expanse of wild landscape that's outside it. Closer to Jakarta than Sydney, the city really does feel remote in its tropical perch. There are a number of waterfront restaurants and pretty parks, making it a pleasant place to relax after a long flight. For those with the energy we highly recommend a visit to Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.
Our tip
Visit Litchfield National Park and embark on a crocodile-spotting boat trip, where you can see these intimidating, prehistoric beasts jump clean out of the water for a meal.

At sea
8-9 November
Indonesia: Benoa (Bali)
The beaches, spectacular volcanic scenery and lush green rice terraces lend Bali a natural beauty that seems to dovetail perfectly with the island’s distinct Hindu culture, which adorns the landscape with stunning temples.
10-12 November
At sea
13-14 November
Australia: Fremantle (Perth)
The capital of Western Australia, Perth sits in glorious isolation on the shores of the Indian Ocean, where the Swan River meets the sea. Laid back and relaxed, this must be one of the most easy-going capital cities in the world, with everything within easy reach.
15 November
Australia: Busselton
Situated to the south of Perth on the west coast of Australia, the seaside town of Busselton is the gateway to the Margaret River wine region. Situated on the sandy shores of Geographe Bay, the town is best known for its remarkable wooden jetty, which stretches over a mile out to sea.

17 November
Australia: Albany
The historic port of Albany was the first European settlement in Western Australia, and the town still has plenty of photogenically faded colonial architecture. Albany sits on Princess Royal Harbour, one of the world’s best natural deep water harbours, and the surrounding coastline is spectacular.
18 November
Australia: Esperance
The town of Esperance is situated on one of Western Australia’s most beautiful stretches of coastline, surrounded by stunning beaches, crystal clear waters and scattered islands. Highlights include the nearby Cape Le Grand National Park and the Recherche Archipelago, home to the vivid pink Lake Hillier on Middle Island.
19-20 November
At sea
21 November
Australia: Port Lincoln
Port Lincoln is the self-styled ‘seafood capital of Australia’, home to the country’s largest fishing fleet. The town is set on the Eyre Peninsula, where you’ll find excellent wineries, fascinating aboriginal history and wildlife including emus, kangaroos and great white sharks.
22 November
Arriving in Adelaide
Residents of Adelaide still take pride in the fact that their city was freely settled rather than founded as a penal colony, and the city traditionally had a reputation as a stuffy and pious sort of place. Adelaide has moved on, however, and these days it's a thriving cultural hub with a superb culinary scene.

Ways to make it better
Where to stay near Darwin
Don’t hang around in Darwin itself; if you want to see more of the Top End, we recommend Bamurru Plains.
Visit the Red Centre
From Darwin take a flight to the Red Centre to see the magical sites of Uluru and Kings Canyon, yet another one of those once in a lifetime experiences!
