On our way to a day of exploring the West MacDonnell Ranges we see some famous Aboriginal art work, before arriving at the startling Standley Chasm, an impressive gap in the ranges with sheer red walls running parallel and only 3m’s apart. For those who love Australian history we visit The Ochre Pits where the traditional mineral source called ochre is mined and used for Aboriginal art and ceremonies.
On this 1 day tour of Australia’s outback we cross Owen Springs Cattle Station and learn of Sir Sydney Kidman ‘The Cattle King of Australia’. For those who appreciate spectacular scenery we pass by the Finke River, which is regarded as one of the longest and oldest rivers still following its original course. We will witness the rare vegetation at Palm Valley such as the Red Cabbage Palms and the Cycad Fern before retracing our steps along the Finke River to explore the historic town of Hermannsburg.
This 3 day tour provides a close look at outback Australia, with its distinctive rock formations, famous landmarks and views to the horizon. We visit Wallace Rockhole where we spend time with the local Aboriginal community before climbing the ridge of Kings Canyon where we can see Australia’s red centre for 50-70kms. Not to mention we tour the base of Uluru where we trace the steps of ancestral beings past Mutitjulu waterhole and take in this impressive monolith.
This is the ultimate outback tour experience where you will spend 6 days exploring Australia’s red centre starting at Alice Springs (the town itself) before adventuring to Kings Canyon. It is at Kings Canyon where we trek for 3 hours up the canyon’s ridge to witness panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. After an exhausting day of climbing it’s time to enjoy a Champagne sunset overlooking Uluru. On day 4 we take you to The Olgas, a group of 32 unique large dome rock faces, before returning to Alice Springs Resort to prepare for the next 2 days of adventure through Palm Valley and the West MacDonnell Ranges.
