'Dreamtime' is an Aboriginal expression that refers to 'the time of the creation of all things,' when totemic ancestors created the natural world: landscapes, people, the natural elements of water, air, and fire, and the celestial bodies. Witness an Australia steeped in tradition where cultural and natural history are deeply entwined. From the relaxed, cosmopolitan, tropical atmosphere of coastal Darwin to the desert's unearthly stillness, we tour modern art galleries and view ancient rock paintings depicting the Dreamtime. Visit outback towns, and overnight on the historic Ghan train, which follows the route of the Afghan camel trains. Discover Arnhem Land, ancient Aboriginal land that is mostly inaccessible to independent travelers. Bushwalk, take billabong cruises, and swim in crocodile-free rock-holes. Experience the power of Uluru (Ayer’s Rock), the world's largest monolith and an Aboriginal sacred site. On Kangaroo Island, explore native bushland, wildlife, pristine beaches, and local wines.
