Trip Itinerary:
Day 1:
Its an early rise if you are joining us in Alice Springs where
you will make the journey to Ayers Rock where we will meet our fellow
travellers joining us there. This afternoon embark on an interpretive
walk at the base of Uluru. The Cultural Centre is impressive and
well worth a visit before watching the ever changing colours of
Uluru at sunset. After dinner, some stories and stargazing, its
time for a good nights rest at our private campsite before another
active day tomorrow.

Day 2:
Your guide will wake you bright and early to experience a mesmerising
Uluru sunrise which can be viewed close-by our campsite, early mornings
being such a magical time in the desert. Then its a short drive
to Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), an Aboriginal word for many heads,
to explore its domes of which there are 36 in total. Pull on your
hiking boots and take the Valley of the Winds walk through creek
beds, domes and beautiful wilderness. After lunch, its farewell
to Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park as we travel to Kings Creek
Station where we camp for the night.

Day 3:
This morning we enter the Watarrka (Kings Canyon) National Park,
home of a mighty chasm with sheer red rock faces which soar over
100 metres above lush palm forests. The rim of Kings Canyon is a
6km round trip walk and you will visit the Amphitheatre, Lost City
and tranquil Garden of Eden. After our final meal together we begin
our journey back to Alice Springs arriving in the late afternoon.
Two nights Multi share dormitory accommodation in Alice Springs
is included (dinner is at own expense).

Day 4:
Today is a day of leisure to either relax or explore the Red Centre
township of Alice Springs.
All activities and meals are at your own expense.
Multi-share accommodation in Alice Springs is included.
Day 5:
You will be collected from your Alice Springs accommodation at approximately
6.00 am and then our adventure through the Territory to Darwin
begins. Just north of Alice Springs is the Tropic of Capricorn (80%
of the Northern Territory lays north of this point). Further along
the track are the Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu) which are a collection
of gigantic granite boulders magically balanced on top of one another.
Our day winds to a close just north of Tennant Creek at historic
Banka Banka Cattle Station where we camp for the night.

Day 6:
No trip to the Territory is complete without a visit to the Daly
Waters Pub, an important watering hole for explorers and drovers
in days gone by and now a great spot for a cold beer, a bit of history
and a fair dinkum outback experience! Later in the day you can
take a soak in the Mataranka Thermal Pools, a lush oasis fringed
by paperbark trees before journeying to Katherine for our overnight
camp.

Day 7:
Your guide will wake you early this morning for the short drive
to the Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park which is owned by
the Jawoyn Aboriginal people. Ancient sandstone has been carved
away by the Katherine River to create a deep and picturesque gorge.
You may like to take a boat cruise or paddle a canoe (seasonal)
through the peaceful water (both optional and additional cost).
In the afternoon, relax and watch the changing landscape as we travel
to cosmopolitan Darwin where the friendly locals and magical sunsets
await!
