DAY 1: AYERS ROCK AIRPORT - ULURU (D)

You will have a chance to learn about the cultural, ecological, historical, and geological significance of this very special national park. With the anticipation and excitement growing, make a short drive towards the base of Uluru as you begin to comprehend the sheer size and magnificence of giant monolith, getting up close and personal to explore further. Walking to Mutitjulu waterhole we discover sacred rock sites in family caves and hear the creation stories of Kuniya and Liru as you continue your base walk towards Kuniya Piti. From here, drive around sacred sites towards Kantju Gorge where you envisage the highest waterfall in Central Australia, (truly a spectacle to behold, even more so when it rains) an elders cave and the world's oldest pantry. After exploring the world's most impressive rock up close and personal, you retreat for panoramic views to witness one of the most incredible sunsets on the planet, all whilst having dinner cooked for you, to feed those hungry eyes and allow you to get to know your fellow travellers.

You thought Uluru was special and just when you think it couldn't get any more majestic you approach the stunning silhouette of Kata Tjuta. here, you set off on a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge marveling at the mighty conglomerate rock formations. After exploring Kata Tjuta you make your way towards Kings Canyon region just in time to experience a glorious outback sunset followed by a hearty meal around the campfire.

Head off early to explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka) venturing into the ancient landscape and sacred ground of the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Arriving at the jewel in the crown at the centre of Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), you will find yourselves surrounded by towering 100-metre cliffs faces, views of sandstone chasms and jaw-dropping backdrops that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Grab you water, hat and sturdy shoes as you set off on foot to explore (the most seasonally applicable part of) the canyon in more detail. Rest up in the bus as you head back up north, travelling off the beaten track via the Mereenie Loop Tourist Drive and heading towards the West MacDonnell Ranges for an evening of stargazing at the bush camp.

DAY 4: STANDLEY CHASM AND TJORITJA WEST MACDONNELL RANGES - ALICE SPRINGS (B, L)
Known traditionally as Angkerle Atwatye, meaning "Gap of Water", Standley Chasm is a 3-meter-wide, 80-meter-high gorge amongst the West MacDonnell Ranges. At dawn, hope to spot the native wildlife as you enjoy breakfast and look forward to the day ahead. Tracking west you are welcome to enjoy a dip in Ellery Creek Bighole, known traditionally as Udepata, surrounded by tall red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. Onwards to where massive geological forces created the towering red walls of Ormiston Gorge. Spend time here admiring nature and its finest before you begin the leisurely journey back towards Alice Spring, with the final stop at another amazing feature of the Tjoritja West MacDonnell region, Simpsons Gap, where several dreaming trails and stories cross. Featuring a permanent waterhole this is also a great place to spot resident wildlife.
