Day
1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Ex Alice Springs:
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 (own expense). Next we travel to the Ayers Rock Resort
for your first glimpse of Uluru, located 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 and it's an early start to catch
it. While the morning's fresh (and your legs are too) enjoy
an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. 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 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). We pass the 140 million
year old meteorite crater, Gosse Bluff as we travel towards
Glen Helen where we camp tonight nestled in the western end
of the majestic MacDonnell Ranges. (BLD)
Day 4 -
Glen Helen to Alice Springs
During a morning hike you will discover the spectacular geological
features of Ormiston Gorge and spot for wallabies and other
wildlife. Then we travel along the ancient track of the Finke
River to access the majestic scenery of 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)
