Tour Itinerary
|
Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Curtin Springs Station, Kings
Canyon, Palm Valley, Redbank Gorge. Get away from the crowds and
take to the tracks on this unique outback holiday. Experience the outback
the authentic way - get off the bitumen and on to dirt roads. This 4WD
adventure allows you to cut through cattle stations to outback icons such
as Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Watarrka in a small group, allowing the freedom
to explore some remote areas. By night, settle down in your bush camp,
cook over a campfire and sleep under the vast, starry sky.
Day 1 Alice Springs
Our Central Explorer adventure begins in the isolated town of Alice Springs.
This outback settlement is the perfect gateway to the Australian desert.
Day 2 Uluru
Leaving Alice early we head to nature's icon of Australia, Uluru, pausing
en route for an optional camel ride! We explore the base of this magnificent
monolith and visit the cultural centre to learn about the Tjukurpa (Aboriginal
law). Climbing the rock is an option, before our day ends with a memorable
desert sunset over Uluru.
Day 3 Kata Tjuta
Start the day watching the sun rise over Uluru before we head to Kata
Tjuta for an 8km hike through the Valley of the Winds. In the afternoon,
visit the Curtin Springs Cattle Station before setting up our bush camp.
Enjoy a campfire dinner before sleeping under the stars!
Day 4 King's Creek Station
It is time to hit the bush tracks that make this trip truly unique. We
travel north to the King's Creek Station, where you'll get the chance
to hop on a quad bike to explore the property on a sunset tour.
Day 5 Watarrka
Visit Watarrka, formerly known as King's Canyon, to enjoy an 8 km rim
walk, followed by a cooling swim in the tranquil Garden of Eden rock pool.
Return to the track and head to our last night's bush camp at Palm Valley.
Days 6-7 Alice Springs
Hike along the old Finke River and discover Redbank Gorge, a spectacular
secret of Central Australia. Spend the day exploring, swimming and relaxing
before returning to Alice Springs where our adventure draws to an end.
