【推荐1】Starting in Darwin our small group stepped onboard a comfortable vehicle designed for the terrain (地形) in the region. We enjoyed a warm welcome onboard from our experienced Journey Director, Gordon, whose knowledge about the Northern Territory made the trip truly special. One of the things I enjoyed most was listening to Gordon sharing stories about our location and where we were travelling next. His in-depth information and stories about travelling in the Top End made us all feel like the locals!
One of the first highlights on the trip is Litchfield National Park with a stop at Wangi Falls for a chance to jump in and take a swim in the clear pool beneath the falls. This refreshing (使人精力充沛的) pool set the tone for the many Northern Territory highlights we would experience over the next few days. Everyone felt like a new person coming out of the pool.
The following day took us to Kakadu National Park. Seeing the beauty of Kakadu from both the ground and sky reflects the hugeness of this wilderness area. From the sky, you can see the crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the rivers. From the ground you see the remarkable plants and animals up close; the entire park is enveloped by natural beauty. This experience comes close to the amazing wildlife and habitats you’d find in Africa.
Then we travelled to Nourlangie, or Burrungkuy in the local indigenous (土著的) language, arriving armed with insider knowledge about what we were going to see. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock art site is known for its indigenous rock art, offering a fascinating record of thousands of years of indigenous life. Once we arrived, we took a short walk to the rock art sites with paintings dating back over 20,000 years. The stories behind these sites reflect how the indigenous people have survived and carried on their traditions for thousands of years.
On our last day, we stopped at Edith Falls, where some of the group who were training for mountain climbs hiked up to another swimming spot at the top of the falls. On arrival in Darwin, we said a tearful goodbye to our Journey Director Gordon who helped to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dear Dad and Mom,
The time has come—I’m graduating,and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, “You can be whatever you want.” I’m so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear kids say they don’t get on well with theirs. I’m glad that you support me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that’s important to me.
Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realise you were only trying to show me the right way. When I cried, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That’s what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with me, but you are there on my side in anything that I do, and that’s why I love you both so much.
Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything and the best part about you is that you listen. I’m glad we do a lot together. You love to have fun, and Dad does, too. You always give me your opinion and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.
There may be many frustrations and setbacks on the road to the future, but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength. Dear Mom and Dad, I love you and I love our family. I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time.
Love always,
Alison
