Overview

A remote, untracked adventure into pristine and magnificent ancient landscapes where very few venture combined with an exploration of one’s inner world through the tools of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

The trip starts in Darwin. From here we drive for 5 hours into the heart of Kakadu. When we arrive we follow the mark trail for a short way to the top of The iconic Twin Falls. After this we are in untracked nature, setting off to explore stunning waterfalls, magnificent gorges and the wonder of sleeping under the stars as people have for thousands of years. The only evidence of the modern world is what we carry in our backpacks. Our drinking water comes from the pristine creeks we follow and swim in.
