Day 4WD Ayers Rock Tour
Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and
Watarrka (Kings Canyon)
|
|
Wayoutback offers
the adventure traveller an authentic outback camping
safari with a touch of style and quality. We'll
show you all the "must see" places like Uluru
(Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Watarrka
(Kings Canyon) and, as importantly, we'll give
you the opportunity to really experience the desert.
Bush camping,
eating quality food cooked over a campfire and
sleeping under the clearest southern stars you
can imagine.
We'll add a more
adventurous element to the trip, leaving the sealed
road behind for a typical outback dirt road.If
that's not outback enough, we then head 'wayoutback'
4-Wheel driving on bush tracks, across riverbeds
and over sand dunes boldly going where no other
tours dare. One
of the most important aspects of Wayoutback is
the calibre of our tour guides. They are among
the best in Central Australia through their enthusiasm
and ability to bring people together to have the
best time. This is backed up with extensive local
knowledge of land, the Aboriginal (Anangu) people
and history. General

Day
1.
(Lunch & Dinner)
After picking you up from your
accommodation in Alice Springs bright and early from 5.45am,
we complete ticketing and introductions and then hit the road
on our adventure of a lifetime.
Our journey
begins heading south to Erldunda travelling through the Waterhouse
and James Ranges with a stop at The Camel Farm for refreshments
and a Camel ride if you're keen +. We also stop at Mt Ebenezer
Roadhouse where you can view or purchase Aboriginal artifacts.
On the way to Uluru (Ayers Rock) we stop to view Atila (Mount
Connor), a mesa tableland and the first significant rock formation
of our trip.
After a stop for lunch and
our arrival at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, we head
to the Cultural Centre and the opportunity to learn about
the local Aboriginal law and religion (Tjukurpa) before a
short guided walk at the base of Uluru. At this point you
can take a full base walk, climb Uluru if you choose to do
so, or join the Aboriginal guided Kuniya walk +.
Of course no Uluru tour would
be complete without experiencing the famous changing colours
of Uluru at sunset, complete with sparkling wine and nibbles.
It's a great time to kick back and contemplate the day and
the vastness of the desert.

- Mt Ebenezer Roadhouse

Day
2.
(Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
From a lookout close to our
campsite we can view sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata
Tjuta (The Olgas) before rolling up the swags and heading
off to Kata Tjuta for a leisurely 7km walk through the "Valley
of the Winds". After a stop at the Resort for fuel and refreshments,
we're off to Kings Creek Cattle Station for our second night's
bush camp, complete with bush toilet and shower.
With nobody else for miles,
this camp has stunning views out over the George Gill Ranges
and gives you a real feel for the outback. Dinner around the
campfire makes for a very social time with another night out
under the stars.

Day
3.
(Breakfast & Lunch)
A leisurely start to the day
before we head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) for a mind blowing
7km walk through the towering walls, crevices and plateaus
of Watarrka. We'll visit the Amphitheatre and the Lost City
plus a swim in the tranquil "Garden of Eden" if you wish.
Adjacent to Watarrka lies an
Aboriginal Community called Lilla where we stop for lunch
and a break at a lovely picnic area. After lunch one of the
Luritja traditional owners, Sadie Williams (or one of her
family), will stop by to take you on a one hour Willy Wagtail
guided walk+ (optional).
After our visit to Lilla we
start making our way back to Alice Springs travelling on a
typical outback dirt road and then 4-wheel driving, crossing
riverbeds and sand dunes. We'll drop you back at your hostel/hotel
early evening and usually all meet later for a bit of a night
on the town (Alice seems like the big smoke after 3 days in
the bush).
