A multi-day trek that we did with our four best friends in early July 2014. Situated amongst the stunning ancient landscape of Nitmiluk NP, the Jatbula Trail follows the route travelled by generations of Jawoyn people, from Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) to Leliyn (Edith Falls). It follows the western edge of the Arnhem Land Escarpment, and the trail traverses sandstone plateau scrub, woodlands, open forest, sandstone monsoon forest and riverine landscapes. There's rock art to be explored along the way and the scenery was ever changing. This trail is highlighted by camp sites situated next to amazing waterfalls or swimming holes which were so very appreciated. Granted we did have pleasant cool weather which also made all the difference. This is a must do hike!

Great to hear from you Tracey! Yep, we’ve truly been overwhelmed with just how many places have blown us away AND the trip just keeps getting better. Thanks for checking out our website, it’s great to stay in touch with you. We might pick your brain when we get to Kakadu as well! Plus we will definitely drop in to visit if we come back your way. Take care, Chels & Dave
Great Gallery Dave and Chels, inspiring nature, I think we will follow in your footsteps eventually 😉 for now it’s Asia in January, so if u’re not sick of travelling by than you should try to convert that Campervan into a plane and fly over to Vietnam – imagine that, “flying campervan” Sounds like a title of an adventure movie !!!!! I’m getting excited .
Marty & Nat
Thanks for your awesome feedback guys! It’s great to hear from you. Believe it or not I’ve thought about you guys many times because you would truly LOVE what we have been seeing and doing as much as we have. I can see you guys slotting right into life on the road in a campervan, soaking up nature at it’s best and experiencing all adventures that come with traveling – and Marty you would be SO INSPIRED to draw, it would drive you crazy! I’ve been meaning to email you some inspiring oz bush ‘research’ pics for our little project one day
so I must get around to that soon. And soon you guys will be getting an adventure of your own, Vietnam will be so very cool, and you guys deserve an escape too! Stay in touch about January…it sounds amazing…if we have $ we’re keen! Take care, Chels and Dave x
OMG those latest photos are unreal!! You two could start your own photography business! Loved seeing you too Sue!!
Looks beautiful you guys! Really making some progress now! Glad to see you’re ticking off the ‘before I die I want to..’ list!
OMG! Once again those photos are amazing!! I think my favourite is no. 10, the close up of the water over the green mossy rocks! Wow moment for me!
That is in the Cape Tribulation photos!
Thanks Mum! Glad you’re loving the photos. We’re going to have a huge library of them by the time we’ve finished this trip…what to do with them?? We might figure something out. Not bragging or anything but the photo that you really liked was one of mine
Pics look awesome . Enjoy guys! Glad you made it safely.. And missing work by the looks of things!
Cheers Geofross!
