Itinerary and trip notes
Itinerary: day by day
Day 1 – Kata Tjuta and Uluru
PICK UP LOCATION: Desert Gardens Hotel, 1:45pm**
We make our start exploring the intriguing landforms of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and hiking through the spectacular Valley of the Winds. Marvel at the sheer size and depth of colour thatmakes Uluru such an impressive site, especially as we get there in time to see the rich desert tones changing as the sun sets. Relax and enjoy the view with some Australian sparkling wine. A hearty dinner and some star-gazing at our permanent campsite is the perfect way to end the evening. (D)
Day 2 – Uluru
Rise early today and watch a breathtaking sunrise over Uluru. Enjoy an unguided walk around the vast base of Uluru. You will then deepen your understanding of the land and the Mala people as you take a cultural interpretive walk with an Aboriginal guide (and interpreter)*. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts at the Cultural Centre before your tour finishes at Ayers Rock Resort. (B)
