Highlights: - Uluru (Ayers Rock) - Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) - Kings Canyon

Day 1: Kata Tjuta - Uluru (Ayers Rock)
Depart Alice Springs at 7.30am and travel south through the West MacDonnell and James Ranges. Your Driver Guide will provide comprehensive commentary of your surrounds as you pass through the rugged scenery of the outback. Visit a camel farm where there is time for a camel ride (own expense). Later stop at Mt. Ebenezer Roadhouse for the opportunity to purchase morning tea and locally made Aboriginal art. Pause to view majestic Atila (Mt. Conner), a significant sacred site, often mistaken for Uluru, before arriving at Ayers Rock Resort. Travel to the mystical 36 domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). On the way, stop at a lookout for a panoramic view of the southern side of Kata Tjuta, before arriving at Walpa Gorge. Spend some time exploring the gorge and the unusual conglomerate rock formations. The walking trail through Walpa Gorge follows the natural creek between two of the tallest domes of Kata Tjuta. In the late afternoon we travel to the Uluru sunset viewing area. Witness the striking colour changes of Uluru at sunset while enjoying a complimentary glass of wine.

Accommodation: Outback Pioneer Budget Rooms (B) Outback Pioneer Hotel (R), Desert Gardens Hotel (S) or Sails in the Desert Hotel (F), Ayers Rock Resort.

Day 2: Kings Canyon - Alice Springs
Rise early and drive through sand hill country towards Kings Canyon, stopping for breakfast at Kings Creek Station (own expense). Continue on to Watarrka National Park where you can make the rocky climb with your guide to the rim of Kings Canyon to be rewarded with marvellous views. The climb may take up to 3 hours and is for those with a good level of fitness. Or you may wish to explore the boulder-strewn canyon floor, an easier walk. Later, we return to Alice Springs, arriving at approximately 7.00pm.
