Tour Code : AA5
Cost : $502* - Valid 1/4/10 to 31/3/11
Day One
We leave Alice Springs around 0630 and head for Kings Canyon. We have the
whole afternoon there with plenty of time for the north and south walls and
a swim in the Garden of Eden water hole. On sunset we pull into Curtin Springs
for a cold beer and hot shower, then it's on to our bush camp in the sand
dunes.
Day Two
This morning is spent on a rewarding hike through the Valley of the Winds
at Kata Juta. After lunch it's off to Uluru for a leisurely guided base walk
around the rock (lots of stories to hear and much to learn). Then we relax
and watch the sun set on this amazing monolith.
Day Three
Up early and onto the rock for an optional sunrise climb. If your not climbing
this time is free to enjoy sunrise and absorb this beautiful and spiritual
place. We visit the informative culture centre, then it's back to Alice Springs
stopping off for a camel ride at Noel Fullerton's and overnight in a hostel
in Alice Springs.
Day Four
Free Morning to look around Alice Springs, maybe take in the Royal Flying
Doctors Service, School of the Air or the original Telegraph Station, before
joining the overnight Ghan to Adelaide.
* Railsaver fare on The Ghan, not refundable or changeable.
