4 Day 4WD Red Centre Explorer by Adventure Tours Australia

Tour Itinerary

Day 1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru

Welcome to the Outback! Our first stop is the Outback Camel Farm where you can see the

world from the top of a camel if you choose to take a ride (own expense). Next we travel to the

Ayers Rock Resort for your first glimpse of Uluru, located in the heart of the Red Centre. After

lunch, we explore fascinating Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) on a guided interpretive walk through the

Valley of the Winds. We make it back in time for an enthralling desert sunset over Uluru. After

dinner, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) and watch the stars come out to play in the

darkening sky. (LD)

Day 2 - Uluru to Kings Canyon

Sunrise over Uluru is magical and it's an early start to catch it. While the morning's fresh (and

your legs are too) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. 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. We'll have lunch

before heading over to Kings Canyon. Tonight's dinner is cooked in a camp oven and the

result is delicious! We spend the night at our permanent campsite at Kings Canyon Resort.

Day 3 - Kings Canyon to Glen Helen

There's a lot to explore at Kings Canyon 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 travel along the well-known Mereenie Loop Track (also called the Red Centre Way).

We pass the 140 million year old meteorite crater, Gosse Bluff as we travel towards Glen

Helen where we camp tonight nestled in the western end of the majestic MacDonnell Ranges.

Day 4 - Glen Helen to Alice Springs

During a morning hike you will discover the spectacular geological features of Ormiston Gorge

and spot for wallabies and other wildlife. Then we travel along the ancient track of the Finke

River to access the majestic scenery of Palm Valley and Cycad Gorge, exploring what was

once a prehistoric inland sea. Keep your eyes out for the Livistonia Mariae, a tropical palm and

one of the rarest trees in the world. The spectacular Western MacDonnell Ranges will continue

to impress you all the way back to Alice Springs. (BL)
