Today we discover the West MacDonnell Ranges. We begin our day with a guided stroll through Ormiston Gorge, where you will experience the rugged beauty of the landscape. Next, we have an opportunity to cool off with a swim at the picturesque waterhole Ellery Creek Big Hole. Enjoy lunch at Standley Chasm with a self-guided walk through this striking geological formation, known for its dramatic rock walls. Afterwards we embark on a guided walk at Simpsons Gap and finally, capture a memorable photo at Flynn's Grave.
Departing Alice Springs, our journey takes us to Erldunda Roadhouse for an early lunch. Following this we delve into an enriching Aboriginal Cultural Experience. This evening we settle into Kings Canyon Resort, and immerse in the Light Towers by Night, a sound and light installation enhancing the natural beauty of our surroundings.
This morning we embark on a scenic guided walk along the canyon that follows Kings Creek. Afterwards, we make our way to Kings Creek Station for morning tea, continuing our journey through Central Australia to Curtin Springs for lunch before having a quick photo stop at the Kata Tjuta viewing area and then arriving for our stay in Yulara.
Start the morning with a once-in-a-lifetime experience by witnessing the Field of Light, a mesmerising art installation featuring thousands of glowing glass spheres illuminating the desert landscape before dawn, followed by the magnificent colours of sunrise over Uluru. Next, we take a guided walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole and continue along to the Mala Walk. We then travel around the base of Uluru as our guide tells stories about the numerous sacred sites. This afternoon, our adventure has us climbing into the saddle for a camel trek adventure which offers another unique way to take in the sights of Uluru and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas).

At the Sounds of Silence specialty dinner, we indulge with a gourmet dinner of Australian delicacies washed down with fine Australian wines, then sit back and relax and learn about the Southern Night Skies.
