Adelaide to Alice Springs - The trip

This trip really is special, it's not just that you see some fantastic places, have a huge adventure and make some really good friends, but the remote areas, the outback, and this simple carefree way of travelling through the bush has this sort of power that hijacks your brain and allows you to see so clearly what life’s all about. It's just such a peaceful cleansing place, it's hard to explain, it’s great to watch people slowly understand. You really do learn a lot about yourself.

Days 1 - 4 Outback & Flinders Ranges:

It's up early with the sun, we pick up from Adelaide and then head up the track towards the Flinders Ranges. It's one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and is a place of fantastic and unique beauty, full of wildlife, Aboriginal Culture, secluded gorges and waterholes.

Our first Bush Camp (like all of them) is under the stars around the Campfire, this is a great way to travel and you’ll soon get into the swing of sitting on your swag at the end of a day of amazing scenery and experiences.

While in the Flinders Ranges we’ll have opportunities to hike, swim in waterholes, experience life on a huge working outback sheep station and the highlight, visiting the Adnyamathanha Aboriginal people at Iga Warta Community, we spend 2 nights at Iga Wartha for a seriously unique cultural experience.

Days 5 - 7 Outback, Coober Pedy and onto NT:

We leave the ranges behind and head for the Outback, the roads turn to dirt and sky gets bigger, The next 3 days we get really remote as we travel along a network of bush tracks making our way north towards the Northern Territory. This is an amazing part of the country, very dry and barren but with surprises around every corner, actually there's more surprises than corners, waterholes and springs for swimming, Lake Eyre, a giant salt lake where we often bush camp, William creek, a classic outback pub, and Coober Pedy, the amazing opal town where the locals live in underground houses called “dugouts”. We then bolt up the highway towards “The Rock” where we bush camp in the red earth of Central Australia, Uluru is on the horizon!

Day 8 - 10 Uluru, Olgas and Kings Canyon:

We spend 3 days in this magnificent part of the world, so enough time to see it properly and really appreciate the spiritual significance of Uluru and Kata Tjuta to the local Anangu Aboriginal people. In this time we’ll visit the cultural centre at Uluru, hike around the base of Uluru (there’s time to climb if you wish) and hike the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta (Olgas). This is all caped of with a chill out sunset at Uluru and a chilly sunrise in the cold desert dawn. We then head for Kings Canyon where after bush camping at Lilla Aboriginal Community we hike the rim of Kings Canyon, where we can even jump in and swim at the garden of Eden.

After a free helicopter flight at Kings Creek Station over the ranges we head for the toem of Alice Springs, normally arriving at about 6pm where we can then wash off the dust and hit the town!
