Day 1 -
Alice Springs to Kings Canyon & Uluru
Journey deep into the remote 'Red Centre' as we travel towards
Kings Canyon. There's a lot to explore here 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'll pass Mt Connor and Curtin Springs cattle
station on the way to Uluru. Tonight, you'll be glad to curl
up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) after dinner as millions
of stars fill the sky. (LD)
Day 2 -
Uluru and Kata Tjuta
Sunrise over Uluru is magical and 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 (unguided), 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. After refuelling with
some lunch, we head to fascinating Kata Tjuta (The Olgas)
to discover the secrets of this ancient landform and their
spiritual significance to the Anangu. A glass of Australia
sparkling wine is perfect while the desert sun sets over Uluru
before returning to camp for dinner. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Uluru to Coober Pedy
We go underground today! After breakfast, we head south through
the rugged desert country into South Australia arriving into
Coober Pedy in the late afternoon. Our bunkhouse for tonight
is - you guessed it - underground. (BLD)
Day 4 -
Coober Pedy to Quorn
This morning we check out the sites of Cooper Pedy on a town
tour which includes an opal cutting demonstration and mine
tour with the opportunity to try your luck 'noodling' for
opals! We continue our journey south and stop at ancient salt
lakes which are remnants of an inland sea. We stop at the
small town of Glendambo (population 30!) and Pt Augusta before
arriving in Quorn, the quaint and historical railway township
nestled at the entrance to the Richman Valley. We stay two
nights in private accommodation at the historical "Mill".
Get ready for tonight's BBQ dinner - it doesn't get any more
Aussie than this! (LD)
Day 5 -
Flinders Ranges & Wilpena Pound
The Flinders Ranges has been recognised as one of Australia's
National Landscapes and today you'll get to experience and
explore this magical region! Wilpena Pound is a natural amphitheatre
located in a huge stone crater and you will spend the morning
hiking and exploring its wonder! After lunch, it's a short
walk to Yourambulla Caves to view Aboriginal rock paintings.
Learn about the hardships of sheep farming in the mid 1800's
as you view the ruins of Kanyaka Homestead. As we travel back
to Quorn, there's an opportunity to spot for the shy and elusive
Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby on a quiet stroll through peaceful
Warren Gorge. Overnight at the Quorn "Mill". (BLD)
Day 6 -
Quorn to Adelaide
Eat a hearty breakfast, because this afternoon we hike to
the summit of Dutchman's Stern for stunning 360° views of
Quorn, Spencer Gulf and the Flinders Ranges! We then say farewell
to the "Flinders". Near the frontier township of Melrose we
take a short walk across a swinging bridge and enjoy panoramic
views from the Mt Remarkable lookout. Our last
stop is in the infamous Clare Valley before arriving late
afternoon into Adelaide. (BL)

Upgrade accommodation is budget style (except the Desert Cave
which is 4 star) and may be located on different premises
