Day 1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Kick off your adventure on top of a camel! Our first stop
is the Outback Camel Farm where you can choose to ride atop
one of these desert giants (at own expense). From here it's
off to Uluru (Ayers Rock), and a bite to eat. Kata Tjuta will
fascinate you, and you will discover some of the secrets of
this ancient landform on the Valley of the Winds hike. You'll
be mesmerised as the desert sun sets over Uluru, and as the
night grows darker, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll)
under millions of stars. (LD)
Day 2 -
Uluru to Kings Canyon
It's an early start this morning, but you'll be rewarded with
a glorious Uluru sunrise. Stretch your legs with a walk around
Uluru's base (unguided), or climb to the top if you choose.
You'll deepen your understanding of the land and its stories
at the Cultural Centre. After lunch we travel to our permanent
campsite at Kings Canyon. You'll fall asleep contented with
a delicious camp oven dinner filling your stomach. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the
impressive formations which make up Kings Canyon. You'll be
left breathless by the sheer beauty of the canyon as we trek
through the Amphitheatre, the Lost City, the lush and ancient
Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls. Lunch is a welcome
prospect, before we make our way back to Alice Springs. (BL)
Overnight dorm accommodation is included.
Day 4 -
Alice Springs to Banka Banka
We pass by 23° 26? 22? south of the equator (otherwise known
as the Tropic of Capricorn) before stopping at Ti Tree for
the chance to buy original works of art by Indigenous artists.
Learn about the early struggles of bush telecommunications
at Barrow Creek's historic Telegraph Station - it'll make
your mobile phone seem like the space age! Precariously balanced
on their rocky perch are the Devils Marbles, a site sacred
to its traditional owners. Last stop for today is our camp
at Banka Banka Cattle Station and if the weather's good, you
can take a dip in the pretty waterhole. (LD)
Day 5 -
Banka Banka to Katherine Gorge
No visit to the Top End would be complete without a visit
to the famed Daly Waters pub, a quintessential outback roadhouse
and 'watering hole' for travellers from far and wide. The
tiny town is also home to Australia's first international
airport (but you wouldn't guess it!). Mataranka lies in the
heart of the 'never-never', and you'll feel a million miles
from anywhere as you soak in the steamy thermal springs. As
the day draws to a close, we reach our overnight camp at stunning
Katherine Gorge. (BLD)
Day 6 -
Katherine Gorge to Darwin
The gorge is all yours this morning, with a half day to spend
canoeing or cruising (at own expense) the spectacular waters.
Want to see more? Jump aboard a helicopter flight (at own
expense) which will take you high above the vast gorge system.
We'll head to Darwin after a bite to eat, with stops at idyllic
Edith Falls and the 'croc-filled' Adelaide River (both a town
and a river). (BL)
