|
 |
Wayoutback
offers the adventure traveller an authentic outback
camping safari with a touch of style and quality.
We'll
show you all the "must see" places like Uluru (Ayers
Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Watarrka (Kings Canyon)
and, as importantly, we'll give you the opportunity
to really experience the desert.
|
|
Bush
camping, eating quality food cooked over a campfire
and sleeping under the clearest southern stars you can
imagine.
We'll
add a more adventurous element to the trip, leaving
the sealed road behind for a typical outback dirt road.If
that's not outback enough, we then head 'wayoutback'
4-Wheel driving on bush tracks, across riverbeds and
over sand dunes boldly going where no other tours dare.
|
 |
 |
One
of the most important aspects of Wayoutback is the calibre
of our tour guides. They are among the best in Central
Australia through their enthusiasm and ability to bring
people together to have the best time.
This
is backed up with extensive local knowledge of land,
the Aboriginal (Anangu) people and history.

Day
1.
(Lunch
& Dinner)
After
picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs bright
and early from 5.45am, we complete ticketing and introductions
and then hit the road on our adventure of a lifetime.
Our
journey begins heading south to Erldunda travelling through
the Waterhouse and James Ranges with a stop at The Camel Farm
for refreshments and a Camel ride if you're keen +. We also
stop at Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse where you can view or purchase
Aboriginal artifacts. On the way to Uluru (Ayers Rock) we
stop to view Atila (Mount Connor), a mesa tableland and the
first significant rock formation of our trip.
After
a stop for lunch and our arrival at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park, we head to the Cultural Centre and the opportunity to
learn about the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa)
before a short guided walk at the base of Uluru. At this point
you can take a full base walk, climb Uluru if you choose to
do so, or join the Aboriginal guided Kuniya walk +.
Of course
no Uluru tour would be complete without experiencing the famous
changing colours of Uluru at sunset, complete with sparkling
wine and nibbles. It's a great time to kick back and contemplate
the day and the vastness of the desert.

(Breakfast,

From a
lookout close to our campsite we can view sunrise over Uluru
(Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) before rolling up
the swags and heading off to Kata Tjuta for a leisurely 7km
walk through the "Valley of the Winds". After a stop at the
Resort for fuel and refreshments, we're off to Kings Creek
Cattle Station for our second night's bush camp, complete
with bush toilet and shower.
With nobody
else for miles, this camp has stunning views out over the
George Gill Ranges and gives you a real feel for the outback.
Dinner around the campfire makes for a very social time with
another night out under the stars.

Day
3.
(Breakfast
& Lunch)
A leisurely
start to the day before we head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon)
for a mind blowing 7km walk through the towering walls, crevices
and plateaus of Watarrka. We'll visit the Amphitheatre and
the Lost City plus a swim in the tranquil "Garden of Eden"
if you wish.
Adjacent
to Watarrka lies an Aboriginal Community called Lilla where
we stop for lunch and a break at a lovely picnic area. After
lunch one of the Luritja traditional owners, Sadie Williams
(or one of her family), will stop by to take you on a one
hour Willy Wagtail guided walk+ (optional).
After
our visit to Lilla we start making our way back to Alice Springs
travelling on a typical outback dirt road and then 4-wheel
driving, crossing riverbeds and sand dunes. We'll drop you
back at your hostel/hotel early evening and usually all meet
later for a bit of a night on the town (Alice seems like the
big smoke after 3 days in the bush).
