Welcome to Alice Springs
Explore the vibrant culture and rich history of Alice Springs with a tailored itinerary that promises unforgettable experiences. Begin by meeting your insightful Journey Director, who will provide a unique perspective on life in this remote town. Explore the history of the region at the iconic Overland Telegraph Station, then delve into the world of indigenous culture with an exclusive experience led by Rayleen Brown. Rayleen will share her knowledge of Aboriginal bush tucker, accompanied by a tantalizing tasting of native-flavoured foods. Join your fellow travellers for a Welcome Reception at Tali Restaurant, where you will dine on local cuisine and reflect on the day's discoveries.
Alice Springs - Kings Canyon
We head off along the 4WD Giles Track, crossing dry riverbeds and outback landscapes, to Kings Canyon Resort. The flickering glow of this evening's fire, dancing under the canopy of a starry Southern Hemisphere sky, is the perfect accompaniment to your Local Dining Experience Under a Desert Moon. This degustation menu with matching wines is the perfect end to the day. Sit back and listen to the sounds of the outback come alive at night in the company of new friends.
Kings Canyon - Uluru
Gaze across the deep chasm at the edge of Kings Canyon as you embark on the spellbinding 6km sunrise Rim Walk, past the sandstone domes of the 'Lost City' and down the stairs to the lush 'Garden of Eden'.Then head off towards Uluru, visiting the local Wanmarra Community to learn about the Luritja and Pertame people's spiritual connection to the land, at the Karrke Aboriginal Cultural Experience. Discover bush food and medicine used for spirituality and healing. Now you'll journey across desert landscapes to Curtin Springs Station, a vast farming property, for lunch. Feel the stirring of something bigger than you as you arrive at Australia's spiritual heart, Uluru. Uncover the foundations of Anangu culture and the important creation stories of Uluru, as you spend time wandering through the Cultural Centre before returning to the resort. This evening dinner is at Ilkari Restaurant.
Uluru & Kata Tjuta
Start your day with the breathtaking Sunrise Field of Light experience by Artist Bruce Munro. Immerse yourself in the mesmerising art installation and enjoy the desert awakening as the sun rises over Uluru. After sunrise return to the hotel for breakfast. Then, venture to Kata Tjuta for a morning of exploration and awe-inspiring landscapes as you wander through Walpa Gorge. Enjoy some free time for lunch, before embarking on a tour at the base of Uluru, delving into the rich cultural significance of this sacred site. Cap off your day with sunset drinks, soaking in the vibrant colours of the Outback and the changing colours of Uluru as the sun sets. The evening is yours to unwind and enjoy at leisure.
Uluru - Alice Springs
Traverse the mesmerising outback landscapes, before turning the corner at Erldunda. Pause for a break at Stuart Wells, a classic outback roadhouse. Before arriving at Alice Springs, you’ll divert to the West MacDonnell Ranges to explore the rugged beauty of spectacular Simpsons Gap. As evening approaches, delve into the heart of the East MacDonnell Ranges at your open-air bush BBQ Celebration Dinner. Indulge in savory dishes and refreshing drinks while enjoying the tunes of a bush balladeer, who will regale you with tales of outback life beneath the vast expanse of the Southern Hemisphere's Milky Way. It's an authentic outback experience that will leave you with lasting memories.
