In the top end of the Northern Territory, the Katherine River has spent over a billion years carving a 12km chain of thirteen sandstone gorges out of the Arnhem Land plateau. Sheer red walls rise up to 70m. Tropical woodland spills over the cliff tops. Calm green water winds through the system in the dry season.

The gorges lie within Nitmiluk National Park, the traditional Country of the Jawoyn people, who jointly manage the park with Parks and Wildlife NT. The name Nitmiluk means “cicada place” in Jawoyn language, and the landscape holds sacred sites, ancestral stories and rock art tens of thousands of years old.

May to September is the dry season, when the gorges are accessible on foot, by kayak, canoe or scenic boat cruise. For serious walkers, the Jatbula Trail is a 62km one-way route to Leliyn (Edith Falls), and one of the best multi-day walks in the country.

Around the gorges you’ll spot agile wallabies, dingoes, olive pythons and Gouldian finches.

📌 Kununurra (Western Australia)
Right in the far northeast corner of Western Australia, Kununurra is the gateway to the East Kimberley. It’s a town of around 7,000 people, sitting between the Ord River, the Carr Boyd Range and the red earth country that runs all the way to the Northern Territory border.

This is Miriwoong Country. The Miriwoong people have lived along this river system for tens of thousands of years, and their language, art and stories are central to the town.

Kununurra is young by Australian standards, established in 1961 to service the newly built Ord River Irrigation Scheme, which turned monsoonal floods into year-round mango, chia and sandalwood country. The scheme also created Lake Argyle, Australia’s largest man-made lake, covering more than 1,000 square km.

From Kununurra, the East Kimberley opens out: red sandstone gorges, boab trees older than European settlement and the striped sandstone domes of the Bungle Bungles rising from the plains just south of town.

May to September is the dry season and the best time to visit. Days sit around 30-32°C, nights are cool.

Ever wondered why kangaroos are always so relaxed? 🦘

Maybe it’s because they know exactly how to hit that one itchy spot! 😂

Just another day in Australia, where even our wildlife knows the importance of a good scratch.

No worries. No rush. Just roo life. 🇦🇺

Cultural Connections in Sydney

Jackie and Birgit recently experienced a wonderful Aboriginal cultural day in Sydney, gaining valuable insights into authentic First Nations experiences that can be incorporated into our clients’ itineraries.

Highlights included a hands-on weaving workshop, offering connection, mindfulness and shared learning through traditional Aboriginal weaving practices, as well as immersive cultural experiences led by Aboriginal knowledge holders, sharing stories of Country, waterways, native plants and wildlife.

The day also featured an Aboriginal-owned and operated Sydney Harbour cruise, where storytelling, culture and connection came together while supporting local community initiatives.

These authentic experiences provide travellers with a deeper understanding of Australia’s First Nations culture and we are delighted to incorporate them into both group and tailor-made Sydney itineraries.

We were honoured to attend and support the Anangu Communities Foundation (ACF) 2026 Sydney Fundraising Gala, which successfully raised more than $116,000 to support education and community initiatives across the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands.

The evening was a wonderful opportunity to hear inspiring stories, celebrate the achievements of students and communities and connect with others who are passionate about creating positive, long-term outcomes for Indigenous Australians.

At INSIGHT AUSTRALIA TRAVEL & Australian Geographic Travel, we believe tourism has an important role to play in supporting local communities and fostering meaningful cultural connections. We are proud to support organisations such as ACF, whose work is helping to create opportunities through education, empowerment and community-led initiatives.

Congratulations to the Anangu Communities Foundation, the event organisers Voyages Tourism Australia & Journey Beyond, sponsors, donors and everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s gala.

SMALL TOWN SPOTLIGHT: Alice Springs, Northern Territory 🦘
Alice Springs sits almost exactly in the geographic centre of Australia, a town of around 26,000 people surrounded by the ancient quartzite ridges of the Tjoritja/MacDonnell Ranges and the long, dry Lhere Mparntwe/Todd River.

This is the traditional Country of the Arrernte people, who have lived in central Australia for tens of thousands of years. Their living culture, language, art, ceremony and storytelling remain central to the identity of the town and the wider Red Centre.

Alice Springs is the gateway to some of Australia's most powerful landscapes, the MacDonnell Ranges, the Larapinta Trail, and a string of waterhole-filled gorges including Simpsons Gap, Ellery Creek Big Hole and Angkerle Atwatye/Standley Chasm. The town is also a hub for central desert and Hermannsburg art, with deep collections held in galleries across the centre.

Winter (June–August) is the prime time to visit with clear days of 18–22°C, freezing desert nights, and the kind of inland light photographers travel a long way for.

🌄 NATURAL ATTRACTION: Mungo National Park, New South Wales

In the dry Willandra Lakes region of southwest NSW, Mungo National Park is one of Australia's most extraordinary cultural and geological places. The Walls of China (a long ridge of bleached, wind-sculpted clay and sand) stretch for 33 kilometres along the eastern edge of an ancient lakebed that dried up around 18,000 years ago.

Mungo is the traditional Country of the Paakantyi, Mutthi Mutthi and Ngiyampaa peoples, who have a continuous connection to this land going back at least 50,000 years. In 1968 and 1974, the remains of Mungo Woman and Mungo Man were discovered in the dunes, the oldest ritually buried human remains found anywhere in the world.

The landscape itself is otherworldly. Walking along the dunes at dawn, you find ancient hearths, stone tools and fossilised footprints exposed by the wind. Park rangers and Aboriginal Discovery Rangers lead tours that bring this deep history alive.

May to September is the time to visit, cool days, freezing nights, and the best light for the lunettes.

🌅 SMALL TOWN SPOTLIGHT: Birdsville (Wirrarri), Queensland

In the far southwest corner of Queensland, where the Diamantina River meets the Munga-Thirri-Simpson Desert, Birdsville is a town of just 110 permanent residents and one of the most isolated, atmospheric outposts in Australia. The nearest large town is over 700 kilometres away.

This is Wangkangurru-Yarluyandi Country. The Channel Country has been home to Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years, and the area's culture, language and rock art remain deeply tied to the rivers and gibber plains.

Birdsville first appeared on European maps in the 1880s as a customs collection point on the old droving route between Queensland and South Australia. The town's red-dirt main street runs out to the orange dunes of Big Red – the towering western edge of the Simpson Desert.

Every September, the town swells to around 7,000 for the legendary Birdsville Races. The rest of the year, Birdsville is somewhere you go to feel just how vast and quiet the Australian outback can be.

Late autumn through winter (May to September) is the best time to visit with mild days around 20–25°C and cold, clear nights perfect for stargazing.

On Tasmania's east coast, Bicheno is a fishing village of around 1000 people wrapped around a working harbour known as The Gulch. The town began life in the 1830s as a whaling and sealing station and was originally called Waubs Boat Harbour, named after Wauba Debar, a Tasmanian Aboriginal woman remembered for swimming out to rescue two sealers from a wrecked boat in 1832. This stretch of coast is the traditional Country of the Paredarerme (Oyster Bay) people.

Bicheno's signature sight is the Blowhole at Redbill Point, a narrow sea channel that erupts in spectacular spray when the surf is right. At dusk, you can often spot small colonies of little penguins making their return to shore on beaches.

Late autumn is one of the loveliest times to visit, crisp days around 12–15°C, brilliant low light, and far fewer crowds than peak season.

Have you visited Bicheno or seen the penguins come ashore? Tell us in the comments.
