The Top End - Venture North and follow the rugged coast



Tucked Away in the Top End is a wide expanse of beautiful Mother Nature. To be explored with awe, humbled by the majesty and ruggedness, silenced by the whisper of the wind, coloured with the mixture of red, green, white sand then scented with the salty ocean and pure air. The wide stretch of rough coastlines inviting as it can be, can be treacherous with the wild life that lurks around. However, as someone did put it, “This would be just like any other typical Resort if the dangerous wildlife were not around”.  It was then I appreciated their presence. Looking at things from a different perspective. Meeting a few locals and understanding the way of living of the people of Larrakia.


The abundance of Nature.. at its best….To live off the grid, to live off the land. Fishing for our dinner, learning how to spear wild mud crabs and eating fresh oysters off the rocks…exploring mangroves on low tides and crossing crocodile infested streams (not doing that one again for sure!)…. uninhabited. Back to Basics... the fundamentals of living. Far Away from the harshness of big cities. Energized by everything that Mother Nature can offer.

Note: The Venture North Camp is family-owned and is the only group who has access to the site and allowed to maintain the camp because of their relationship with the traditional Aboriginal owners of the Land.
Check out their amazing trips!! https://venturenorth.com.au/
