Itinerary:
Day1
The 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. Continuing on to Uluru (Ayers Rock) you will stop to view Atila (Mount Connor), a mesa tableland and the first significant rock formation of our trip.
After a stop for lunch and your arrival at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, you will head to the Cultural Centre and have the opportunity to learn about the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa) before a short-guided walk at the base of Uluru. At this point you can take a full base walk or climb Uluru if you choose to do so.
Day 2
From a lookout close to your campsite you can view sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) before rolling up the swags and heading off to Kata Tjuta for an 8km walk through the "Valley of the Winds". After a stop at the Resort for fuel and refreshments, you’re off to Kings Creek Cattle Station for your second night's 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.
Day 3
After a leisurely start to the day before you will head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) for a mind-blowing 8km walk through the towering walls, crevices and plateaus of Watarrka. Visit the Amphitheatre and Lost City; take a swim in the tranquil "Garden of Eden" if you wish.
After lunch you will start making your way back to Alice Springs travelling on a typical outback dirt road and then 4x4 driving, crossing riverbeds and sand dunes.
