What to expect
You'll start at Uluru with guided Indigenous perspectives on Country and sacred sites, then progressively head south through increasingly remote landscape. Expect long driving days interspersed with walks, climbs and hands-on activities like opal hunting. Accommodation shifts from conventional to underground dugouts—atmospheric but basic. Evenings revolve around campfire meals, swapping stories and stargazing. The pace is active; you'll hike desert trails, explore rock formations and traverse rough outback roads. Your guide provides cultural context and local knowledge throughout.
