Departing from Alice Springs we head towards Ayers Rock stopping off at Mt Connor (false Uluru) lookout for a view of this mighty red mountain and Curtin Springs for a toilet stop before arriving at our campground for lunch. After lunch, we head to the Red Centre’s Aboriginal interpretive cultural centre. We have a chance to learn about the cultural, ecological, historical, and geological significance of this very special national park. With the anticipation and excitement growing, we make a short drive towards the base of Uluru as we begin to comprehend the sheer size and magnificence of the giant monolith, getting up close and personal to explore further. Walking to the Mutitjulu waterhole, we discover sacred rock art sites in family caves and hear the creation stories of Kuniya and Liru. We continue our base walk towards Kuniya Piti. From here we drive around sacred sites towards Kantju Gorge where we envisage the highest waterfall in Central Australia, (truly a spectacle to behold, even more so when raining) an elders’ cave, and the world’s oldest pantry. After exploring the world’s most impressive rock up close and personal, we retreat for panoramic views to witness one of the most incredible sunsets on the planet, all whilst having dinner cooked for you to feed those hungry eyes.
Hike Distance: 2-3 km / 2-3 hours.
Your accommodation: Private Ayers Rock Campsite - Permanent Tents
Autopias Private Ayers Rock Campsite offers fully set-up permanent tents in the heart of the Red Centre. Enjoy a comfortable stay with communal bathroom facilities, easy access to Uluru, and unforgettable sunrises and starlit evenings in the outback.
It’s an early rise and light breakfast as we head off for a spectacular sunrise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. You thought Uluru was special, and just when you think it couldn’t get any more majestic, you approach the stunning silhouette of Kata Tjuta. Here, we set off on a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge, marvelling at the mighty conglomerate rock formations. After exploring Kata Tjuta, we walk towards the Kings Canyon region just in time to experience a glorious outback sunset followed by a hearty meal at the campfire.
Hike Distance: 2-6 km / 2-4 hours (*weather dependent).
Your accommodation: Private Kings Canyon Campsite - Permanent Tents
Private Kings Canyon Campsite features fully set-up permanent tents with communal bathroom facilities, offering a comfortable base to explore the dramatic landscapes of Watarrka National Park. Enjoy sunrises over the canyon and starlit evenings in the heart of the outback.
We head off early to explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka), venturing into the ancient landscape and sacred grounds of the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Arriving at the jewel in the crown at the centre of Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), we find ourselves surrounded by towering 100-meter cliff faces, spectacular views of sandstone chasms, and jaw-dropping backdrops that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Grab your water, hat, and sturdy shoes as we set off on foot to explore (the most seasonally applicable part of) the canyon in more detail. After a well-earned rest, you can now enjoy some downtime as the bus meanders its way to your final destination. This evening, we conclude your exploration of Central Australia in Alice Springs at approximately 17:30 pm.
