Geography
7 days

Northern Territory is the destination for this week-long, fully immersive lesson in the geography and aboriginal culture of a region which is steeped in natural abundance and human history. Students will delve deep into some of Australia’s most iconic national parks, with time spent in Darwin, Kakadu, and Litchfield. Bush crafts skills will be sharpened, there will be close encounters with saltwater crocodiles, and days spent in close connection with aboriginal communities. This itinerary will explore how history, geography, science, and society interact in the real world.  This tour is an off-grid, boots-on-the-ground experience which will challenge and inspire students and help them see the connections between man and nature.
