ITINERARY

DAY 1 :: ALICE SPRINGS TO KATA TJUTA & ULURU
Overnight pre-tour dorm accommodation (included). Our first stop is the Outback Camel Farm where you can see the world from the top of a camel if you choose to take a ride (at own expense). Next it’s to Uluru, in the heart of the Red Centre. After lunch, we explore fascinating Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) on a guided interpretive walk through the Valley of the Winds. We make it back to camp in time for an enthralling desert sunset over Uluru. After dinner, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) and watch the stars come out to play in the darkening sky. (LD)

DAY 2 :: ULURU TO KINGS CANYON
Sunrise over UIuru is magical! It’s an early start to catch it. While the morning’s fresh (and your legs are too!) take a walk around Uluru’s base, or climb to the top if you choose – however, the Anangu traditional owners prefer it if you don’t. Gain a further insight into the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre, where you’ll also have the opportunity to invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous artists. We’ll have some lunch before heading over to Kings Canyon. Tonight’s dinner is cooked in a camp oven and the result is delicious! We spend the night at our permanent campsite at Kings Canyon Resort. (BLD)

DAY 3 :: KINGS CANYON TO GLEN HELEN
There’s a lot to explore at Kings Canyon and we check out the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of Eden and the sheer outcrops of the North and South walls. After lunch, we travel along the well-known Mereenie Loop Track (also called the Red Centre Way) where we check out the 140 million year old meteorite crater, Gosse Bluff. We pass by the home of acclaimed Indigenous artist Albert Namatjira as we travel towards Glen Helen, where we spend the night in our permanent campsite nestled in the western end of the majestic MacDonnell Ranges. (BLD)

DAY 4 :: GLEN HELEN TO ALICE SPRINGS
Discover the spectacular geological features of Ormiston Gorge, before we jump back into the vehicle for some 4WD action through the ancient track of the Finke River. Most of today is spent at Palm Valley and Cycad Gorge, exploring what was once a prehistoric inland sea. Keep your eyes out for the Livistonia Mariae, a tropical palm and one of the rarest trees in the world. The spectacular Western MacDonnell Ranges will continue to impress you all the way back to Alice Springs. (BL)
Overnight dorm accommodation included.

DAY 5 :: ALICE SPRINGS

DAYS 6-8 :: ALICE SPRINGS TO DARWIN
Please refer to Days 3-5 of Red Rocket intinerary. Overnight dorm accommodation included in Darwin (dinner at own expense).

DAY 9 :: DARWIN TO MARY RIVER
A refreshing start to your day: the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park, followed by the spectacular Mary River Wetlands. Birds aren’t the only wildlife abundant around here; keep your eyes out for lurking crocodiles on our private river cruise! A secluded campsite at Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge is where we’ll stay tonight. (LD)

DAY 10 :: MARY RIVER TO KAKADU
Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, our first stop this morning. Clamber to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the Nardab floodplain. Next it’s on to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the plunge pools. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp within Kakadu NP. (BLD)

DAY 11 :: KAKADU TO DARWIN
Get ready for some 4WD action today on our way to Jim Jim Falls! Once we get there, we’ll hike to the base of the falls before continuing on to Twin Falls.
