Description:

THIS ITINERARY IS FOR TRAVEL POST 01 APRIL 2011 - IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE DETAILS ON PRE APRIL ITINERARY WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO ITINERARY CHANGES PLEASE ENQUIRE BEFORE MAKING YOUR BOOKING.

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) for lunch. Kata Tjuta will fascinate you, and you will get up close to the majestic features of this ancient geological formation during 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. While the morning’s fresh (and your legs are too!) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. You will then deepen your understanding of the land and the Mala people as you take a cultural interpretive walk with an Aboriginal guide (and interpreter). Explore the many caves of the Mala people, learning how they lived and prepared for ceremonies. Your Aboriginal guide will also share the sensitive story of the Mala people who lived at Uluru with their friend the Itjaritjari (marsupial mole). There is also a visit to sacred Kantju Gorge, a quiet water hole at the base of a dramatic rock face. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts at the Cultural Centre before we travel to our exclusive campsite within the Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) where we sleep for the night.

Day 3 – Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the impressive formations of 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)

Operator Description:

An Australian Adventure is one click away. Great coastal and outback tours through Australia are what we do best. Turn scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing, horse riding, desert crossing, and bush survival into an Australian adventure of a life time. Visit the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, ancient Daintree rainforest and Cairns and its lush tropical surrounds on one of our east coast adventures. Let the Whitsundays and Fraser Island take your breath away and take in the beauty of Byron Bay. Tour the outback and visit Ayers rock and the red centre while taking in the amazing landscapes of South Australia and the Northern Territory including destinations like Kakadu, Kings Canyon and The Olgas. Maybe a west coast adventure is more your style with glorious sunsets and the likes of the Pinnacles desert, the Bungle Bungles and Monkey Mia intrigue and excite you. The isolation, red soil, stunning beaches, unique culture and the abundance of natural resources make this a land of beauty and contrast.
