✨ About the Expedition

A big one. A special one. A bucket-list kind of trip. 🥾✨

In July 2026, Cool Girls Club is heading north for a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration with Australian Walking Holidays to walk the iconic Jatbula Trail in the Northern Territory.

This is a fully guided, fully supported multi-day wilderness expedition through Nitmiluk National Park. Over six unforgettable days, we’ll hike through ancient landscapes, swim beneath waterfalls, camp beside creeks and experience the magic of the Top End alongside an incredible group of women.

This trip is about adventure, connection and experiencing remote Australia properly — without needing to organise permits, logistics or gear. You just show up in Darwin, and we take it from there 🤍

🥾 The Trail

The Jatbula Trail is one of Australia’s most iconic multi-day walks, stretching approximately 62km from Nitmiluk Gorge to Leliyn (Edith Falls).

Expect:

💦 Daily swims in freshwater waterfalls and swimming holes

🌿 Monsoon forests, woodlands and escarpments

⛰️ Varied terrain including rocky sections, creek crossings and open plateaus

🔥 Remote, rugged beauty far from crowds

🤍 A truly immersive Top End wilderness experience

This trail is challenging, rewarding and unforgettable — made accessible through expert guiding and thoughtful pacing.

⛺️ Camping on the Jatbula Trail

Each night we’ll camp at designated bush campsites along the trail, set beside creeks, waterfalls and natural swimming pools.

You’ll sleep in a tent, share meals together under the stars and wind down after each day of hiking surrounded by nature. Evenings are for swimming, cooking, storytelling and soaking up that special camp energy ✨

This is remote camping done properly, safely and comfortably.
