The
Groovy way to explore the best of the Red Centre and then
head on south. Unforgettable sunrises and fantastic sunsets
over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). Spectacular
walks and unforgettable sights. Star gazing and life underground
at Coober Pedy. A great BIG adventure, arrive in Adelaide
with great memories and new friends.
Day
1
No need
to rush! We leave at 1 PM so you've got all morning to get
organised. Today we head to Kings Creek Station where at
the end of the day after a hearty dinner we settle into
our swags around the campfire.
Day
2
After
breakfast we walk Watarrka (Kings Canyon) to experience
the fantastic views of the Gorge, huge sandstone walls and
an immense canyon floor. We then head towards Uluru in good
shape to set up camp and go out for our first Uluru sunset.
Nothing really prepares you for The Rock - it's awesome.
After a hearty dinner we hit the swags for an early start
next day.
Day
3
Up with
the birds for breakfast, today its at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas).
We hike the majestic Valley of the Winds with its incredibly
ancient rock formations before returning to camp to spend
the rest of the day soaking up the magic of Uluru. There
is enough time to do everything including climbing Uluru,
however the Aboriginal owners would prefer it if you didn't.
It's your choice!

Day
4
After
another fantastic breakfast we enjoy a walk around the base
of Uluru and spend time learning about the Aboriginal people
at the Cultural Centre. Lunch is at the campground, with
departure for the bar and swimming pool at Kulgera Roadhouse
'just down the road'. Dinner, lots of stories and an overnight
stay at the roadhouse.
Day
5
Coober
Pedy by lunchtime. Opal capital of the world and a landscape
a lot like Mars. The locals live underground and so will
you. After a tour of the town enjoy a beer in the pub, go
'noodling' for opals or visit an opal shop. There's a special
star-gazing tour tonight, one of the real highlights of
the trip.
Day
6
Last
day. BIG day. Incredible changing landscape, kangaroos,
emus, eagles, road trains, genuine bush characters and enough
stops to keep you happy along the way. Relax in air-conditioned
comfort and settle into our deep reclining seats as we cruise
to Adelaide, arriving around 6 PM.
What
to bring
Hat,
sunscreen, walking shoes, insect repellant, water bottle,
bathers (swimming gear), and a sleeping bag (or hire one
from us for $10). Otherwise all the usual stuff, and most
important a sense of adventure!
