Von Alice Springs zum Uluru

[die Tourbeschreibung ist momentan nur auf Englisch verfügbar]

Day 1 – Alice Springs to Kings Canyon

Doing it differently... Departing Alice at 12.00noon, we travel through a variety of outback scenery including vibrant red dune country and the craggy ranges of Central Australia. One of our rest stops is the Aboriginal-owned Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse with its excellent art gallery. Settle into our secluded bush campsite near Kings Canyon with a choice of tents or swags (yes, we do have decent toilets and showers out there!) - and lend a hand as we cook up some top tucker tonight (=dinner)!

PS Pieter says it's his favourite campsite: "the campfires reflect off the red cliff face, we get great sunsets - and it's the best campsite I know in all-Aus for stargazing!"

Day 2 – Kings Canyon to Uluru

Time is on our side... The full 6 km Kings Canyon Rim Walk takes 3 plus hours, led by your knowledgeable driver-guide. Admire the sandstone domes of the Lost City, sheer cliff top views along the North and South Walls, and the almost tropical Garden of Eden – if it’s a warm day, the waterhole’s beaut for a swim. After a hearty lunch we head for Uluru passing flat-topped Mt Conner and a break at Curtin Springs Station Roadhouse, the only service point on the 300km from Kings Creek to Yulara. Move in to our comfy campsite at Yulara for the next two nights. Uluru sunsets are awesome – our two night stay is ‘insurance’ against cloud cover!

Day 3 – Uluru & Kata Tjuta

Here comes the sun! After catching the Uluru Sunrise, we recommend the full 9km base walk (self-guided). Of major interest are the many sacred sites around the Base, notably the Mala & Mutitjulu waterholes – small springs supporting
life since the Dreamtime. With our driver-guide’s commentary, free ranger-led interpretive walks & time in the Cultural Centre, you will be introduced to life in the shadow of Uluru. You can climb if you choose but the Anangu traditional owners prefer visitors not to. After lunch, we have free time to take up some of the excellent options on offer: short walking tours and activities with the Anangu people, scenic flights, Harley rides etc or enjoy free time in the campsite pool or Yulara Bar. Get ready for perhaps a different angle on sunset and prepare for another tasty dinner.

Day 4 – End at Yulara or return to Alice Springs

Some people think we save the best till last. Hike the 8 kms Valley of the Winds trail at KataTjuta (3 hours guided). Finish at Yulara 12 noon - we can drop you at Ayers Rock Airport (or catch free shuttle). Arriving back in Alice by 6.00 pm with drop offs at accomodations.
