Remote But Not Roughing It

‘I just want to get away from it all,’ is the mantra we chant as we talk about going on holiday. Escape the crowds, the mobile phone and the knowledge that you’ve got to go back to work soon and feel the stress fall away with each kilometre you travel. While traditional outback camping still holds a certain allure, the option of exclusive, luxury holidays in remote locations is a tempting alternative.

Clutching the edge of an infinity pool, gazing out onto an iridescent green floodplain dotted with water buffalo & wallabies and knowing that you’re half a world away in the Territory’s outback, has to be one of life’s ultimate experiences. And it’s what’s on offer at the luxury safari lodge, Bamurru Plains. Top up your culture content at Davidson’s Arnhem Land Safari camp, located on Aboriginal lands filled with mind blowing rock art, dated at up to 50,000 years. Here, you still get to sleep in a tent, but in the comfort of a regular bed, with native birds happy to act as your alarm clock. Head out to the Dugong Beach Resort on Groote Eylandt located off the east coast of Arnhem Land - an idyllic beautiful island paradise. Built on Aboriginal land, the traditional owners operate all the cultural tours giving you a real connection to the land and their culture.
