Day 1 (Lunch /
Dinner)
After picking you up
from your accommodation
in Alice Springs bright
and early at
approximately 6.00am, we
complete ticketing and
introductions and then
hit the road on our
adventure of a lifetime.
(For those commencing
the tour at Uluru we
will collect you from
the Outback Pioneer
Hotel at approximately
1.10pm or the airport at
1.30pm.
Our journey begins
heading south to
Erldunda travelling
through the Waterhouse
and James Ranges with a
stop at the Camel Farm
for refreshments and a
Camel ride if you're
keen (own expense). We
stop at Mount Ebenezer
Roadhouse where you can
view or purchase
Aboriginal artifacts. On
the way to Uluru we stop
to view Atila (Mount
Connor), a mesa
tableland and the first
significant rock
formation of our trip.
After a stop for
lunch and our arrival at
the Uluru-Kata Tjuta
National Park, we head
to the Cultural Centre
and the opportunity to
learn about the local
Aboriginal law and
religion (Tjukurpa)
before a short, guided
walk at the base of
Uluru. Those choosing to
climb will have the
opportunity to do so,
weather permitting.
(Note: Uluru is a sacred
site and Anangu, the
indigenous custodians,
respectfully ask
visitors not to climb
it).
Of course no Uluru
tour would be complete
without experiencing the
famous changing colours
of Uluru at sunset,
complete with sparkling
wine and nibbles. It's a
great time to kick back
and contemplate the day
and the vastness of the
desert.

Day 2 (Breakfast /
Lunch / Dinner)
From a lookout close
to our campsite we can
view sunrise over Uluru
and Kata Tjuta before
heading off to Kata
Tjuta for a leisurely
7km walk through the
"Valley of the Winds".
After a stop at the
Resort for fuel and
refreshments, we're off
to Kings Creek Cattle
Station for our second
nights' private bush
camp, complete with bush
toilet and shower. With
nobody else for miles,
this camp has stunning
views out over the
George Gill Ranges and
gives you a real feel
for the outback.
Dinner around the
campfire makes for a
very social time with
another night out under
the stars.

Day 3 (Breakfast /
Lunch)
A leisurely start to
the day before we head
off to Watarrka (Kings
Canyon) for a mind
blowing 6km walk through
the towering walls,
crevices and plateaus of
Watarrka. We'll visit
the Amphitheatre and the
Lost City.
Later we start making
our way back to Alice
Springs travelling on a
typical outback dirt
road. We'll drop you
back at your
hostel/hotel early
evening and usually all
meet later for a bit of
a night on the town
(Alice seems like the
big smoke after 3 days
in the bush).
