Day 1 - Alice Springs to
Kings Canyon & Uluru Journey deep
into the remote 'Red Centre' as we travel towards Kings Canyon. There's a lot
to explore here and we check out the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient
Garden of Eden and the sheer outcrops of the North and South Walls. After lunch,
we'll pass Mt Connor and Curtin Springs cattle station on the way to Uluru. Tonight,
you'll be glad to curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) after dinner as millions
of stars fill the sky. (LD) Day
2 - Uluru and Kata Tjuta Sunrise over Uluru is magical and it's an early
start to catch it! While the morning's fresh (and your legs are too!) take a walk
around Uluru's base (unguided), or climb to the top if you choose - however, the
Anangu traditional owners prefer it if you don't. Gain a further insight into
the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre, where
you'll also have the opportunity to invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous
artists. After refuelling with some lunch, we head to fascinating Kata Tjuta (The
Olgas) to discover the secrets of this ancient landform and their spiritual significance
to the Anangu. A glass of Australia sparkling wine is perfect while the desert
sun sets over Uluru before returning to camp for dinner. (BLD)
Day 3 - Uluru to Coober Pedy We go underground
today! After breakfast, we head south through the rugged desert country into South
Australia arriving into Coober Pedy in the late afternoon. Our bunkhouse for tonight
is - you guessed it - underground. (BLD) Day
4 - Coober Pedy to Quorn This morning we check out the sites of Cooper
Pedy on a town tour which includes an opal cutting demonstration and mine tour
with the opportunity to try your luck 'noodling' for opals! We continue our journey
south and stop at ancient salt lakes which are remnants of an inland sea. We stop
at the small town of Glendambo (population 30!) and Pt Augusta before arriving
in Quorn, the quaint and historical railway township nestled at the entrance to
the Richman Valley. We stay two nights in private accommodation at the historical
"Mill". Get ready for tonight's BBQ dinner - it doesn't get any more Aussie than
this! (LD) Day
5 - Flinders Ranges & Wilpena Pound The Flinders Ranges has been recognised
as one of Australia's National Landscapes and today you'll get to experience and
explore this magical region! Wilpena Pound is a natural amphitheatre located in
a huge stone crater and you will spend the morning hiking and exploring its wonder!
After lunch, it's a short walk to Yourambulla Caves to view Aboriginal rock paintings.
Learn about the hardships of sheep farming in the mid 1800's as you view the ruins
of Kanyaka Homestead. As we travel back to Quorn, there's an opportunity to spot
for the shy and elusive Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby on a quiet stroll through peaceful
Warren Gorge. Overnight at the Quorn "Mill". (BLD)
Day 6 -
Quorn to Adelaide
Eat a hearty breakfast, because this afternoon we hike to
the summit of Dutchman's Stern for stunning 360° views of
Quorn, Spencer Gulf and the Flinders Ranges! We then say farewell
to the "Flinders". Near the frontier township of Melrose we
take a short walk across a swinging bridge and enjoy panoramic
views from the Mt Remarkable lookout. Our last
stop is in the infamous Clare Valley before arriving late
afternoon into Adelaide. (BL)
