Clothing and What to Bring

bring comfortable, casual clothing. Remember, in the
southern part of the Territory i.e. Uluru (Ayers
Rock) and Alice Springs nights in winter (May to August)
can be cold, frosts do occur and occasionally a cold
wind blows, so bring warm clothing to suit. The days
are usually sunny and warm. Around Darwin and Katherine
tropical conditions apply, so come prepared. Remember
to bring strong, non-slip walking shoes. This is a must.

personal water bottle are recommended.
Kings Canyon Safety
Information During the hotter months temperatures can
reach and exceed 36° C or 97° F. At these times the
Watarrka National Park Rangers strongly advise that
visitors do not take part in the Kings Canyon Rim Climb.
In this drier desert climate heat exhaustion, over these
hotter months, is a very high possibility and a danger
in such remote regions. To ensure the safety and enjoyment
of our clients we offer a guided walk along the Kings
Canyon creek-bed as a suitable alternative on such days.

Territory (November to April) heavy rain and flooding
can preclude access to Ubirr, East Alligator River and
Arnhem Land. Alternative touring will be arranged.

low lying clouds or insufficient light. Refunds are
not given in these cases.
