Day 1 - Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru
Kick off your adventure on top of a camel! Our first stop
is the Outback Camel Farm where you can choose to ride atop
one of these desert giants (at own expense). From here it's
off to Uluru (Ayers Rock), and a bite to eat. Kata Tjuta will
fascinate you, and you will discover some of the secrets of
this ancient landform on the Valley of the Winds hike. You'll
be mesmerised as the desert sun sets over Uluru, and as the
night grows darker, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll)
under millions of stars. (LD)
Day
2 - Uluru to Kings Canyon
It's an early start this morning, but you'll be rewarded with
a glorious Uluru sunrise. While the morning's fresh (and your
legs are too!) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru.
You will then deepen your understanding of the land and the
Mala people as you take a cultural interpretive walk with
an Aboriginal guide (and interpreter). Explore the many caves
of the Mala people, learning how they lived and prepared for
ceremonies. Your Aboriginal guide will also share the sensitive
story of the Mala people who lived at Uluru with their friend
the Itjaritjari (marsupial mole). There is also a visit to
sacred Kantju Gorge, a quiet water hole at the base of a dramatic
rock face. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to purchase
Aboriginal arts and crafts at the Cultural Centre before we
travel to our exclusive campsite within the Watarrka National
Park (Kings Canyon) where we sleep for the night. (BLD)
Day
3 - Kings Canyon to Marla
Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the
impressive formations which make up Kings Canyon. You'll be
left breathless by the sheer beauty of the canyon as we trek
through the Amphitheatre, the Lost City, the lush and ancient
Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls. After lunch,
we head south through the rugged desert country into South
Australia to our overnight destination of Marla, a small outback
town. (BLD)
Day
4 - Marla to Coober Pedy
After breakfast, we continue through the arid scenery towards
Coober Pedy. You will see the flat topped mesas, 'The Breakaways'
and a short while later arrive into Coober Pedy. The afternoon
is spent exploring the Opal Capital of the World on a town
tour which includes an opal cutting demonstration and mine
tour with the opportunity to try your luck 'noodling' for
opals! Our bunkhouse for tonight is - you guessed it - underground.
(BLD)
Day
5 - Coober Pedy to Quorn
This morning we continue our journey south and stop at ancient
salt lakes which are remnants of an inland sea. We then pass
through 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! (BLD)
Day
6 - 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
7 - 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" and start the journey to Adelaide, with
our final stop being the Clare Valley before arriving late
afternoon into Adelaide. (BL) Overnight dorm accommodation
included.
Day
8 - Adelaide
A FREE day to explore the sights of Adelaide. Overnight dorm
accommodation included. (Meals at own expense)
Day
9 - Adelaide to Grampians National Park
Travelling through the picturesque Adelaide Hills, we cross
Australia's king of rivers, the mighty Murray, and pass through
some little South Australian country towns on our way to the
Grampians National Park. Get your legs working this afternoon
with hikes at Hollow Mountain and the amazing MacKenzie Falls
and Reeds Lookout before we settle in at our overnight Grampians
accommodation. (LD)
Day
10 - Grampians NP via the Great Ocean Rd to Port Campbell
Hiking to the Pinnacle is a challenge, but on the way you'll
experience breathtaking views of the national park. Next we
head south to the coast and Warrnambool, where you'll have
the chance to spot whales (seasonal). There's a lot to explore
along the famous Great Ocean Road, renowned for its beauty.
Discover the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, London Bridge
and Lock Ard Gorge before sunset over the Twelve Apostles
- gorgeous! Dinner will be at your overnight coastal accommodation.
(BLD)
Day
11 - Port Campbell to Melbourne
Start the day with an optional helicopter ride (own expense)
over the amazing Twelve Apostles or walk down the Gibson Steps
to the beach to see a different angle of these limestone stacks.
Next we visit the Otway Fly Tree Top Walk. We'll stop for
lunch in the coastal town of Apollo Bay. Hugging the coastline,
we stop at Kennett River to spot koalas and birdlife before
continuing onto Lorne. We'll check out the world famous Bells
Beach and the surfing town of Torquay, home of surf labels
Quiksilver and Rip Curl before arriving into Melbourne early
evening. (BL)
