Day
1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Welcome to the Outback! Our first stop is the Outback Camel
Farm where you can see the world from the top of a camel
if you choose to take a ride (at own expense). Next it's to
Uluru, in the heart of the Red Centre. After lunch, we explore
fascinating Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) on a guided interpretive
walk through the Valley of the Winds. We make it back in time
for an enthralling desert sunset over Uluru. After dinner,
curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) and watch the stars
come out to play in the darkening sky. (LD)
Day 2 - Uluru to Kings Canyon
Sunrise over Uluru is magical! It's an early start
to catch it. While the morning's fresh (and your legs are
too!) take a walk around Uluru's base (unguided), or climb
to the top if you choose - however, the Anangu traditional
owners prefer it if you don't. Gain a further insight into
the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the
Cultural Centre, where you'll also have the opportunity to
invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous artists.
We'll have some lunch before heading over to Kings Canyon.
Tonight's dinner is cooked in a camp oven and the result is
delicious! We spend the night at our permanent campsite at
Kings Canyon Resort. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Kings Canyon to Glen Helen
There's a lot to explore at Kings Canyon and we check out
the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient
Garden of Eden and the sheer outcrops of the North
and South walls. After lunch, we travel along the well-known
Mereenie Loop Track (also called the Red Centre
Way) where we check out the 140 million year old meteorite
crater, Gosse Bluff. We pass by the home of acclaimed
Indigenous artist Albert Namatjira as we travel towards Glen
Helen, where we spend the night in our permanent campsite
nestled in the western end of the majestic MacDonnell Ranges.
(BLD)
Day 4 -
Glen Helen to Alice Springs
Discover the spectacular geological features of Ormiston
Gorge, before we jump back into the vehicle for some 4WD
action through the ancient track of the Finke River. Most
of today is spent at Palm Valley and Cycad Gorge,
exploring what was once a prehistoric inland sea. Keep your
eyes out for the Livistonia Mariae, a tropical palm and one
of the rarest trees in the world. The spectacular Western
MacDonnell Ranges will continue to impress you all the
way back to Alice Springs. (BL)
