Red Centre Way
Discover the Australian outback and the world-renowned landmarks of Uluru / Ayers Rock, Kata Tjuta / The Olgas and Watarrka National Park, Kings Canyon on a four or five day adventure drive along the Red Centre Way out of Alice Springs. Accommodation options along the route range from campgrounds to luxurious resorts.
From Alice Springs, travel west through the West MacDonnell Ranges to Glen Helen, stopping at the many spectacular natural attractions along the way such as Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm, Ellery Creek Big Hole and Ormiston Gorge. You can overnight at Glen Helen Resort or continue on the 260 kilometre Mereenie Loop, part of which is unsealed, to Kings Canyon, where 300 metre sheer cliff faces and a palm-fringed swimming hole are special highlights. Stop along the way at Redbank Gorge and Tnorala / Gosse Bluff Conservation Reserve - a huge crater formed by a comet over 130 million years ago.
Take the Kings Canyon Rim Walk for breathtaking views over the red landscape before driving 300 kilometres south to Uluru where its sheer size is best appreciated from a nine kilometre walk around the base. For a different view altogether, book a seat on a scenic flight or a ride around Uluru on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Then travel on to see Kata Tjuta / The Olgas. Stay for sunset and enjoy the magnificent view or return to Uluru, where you can dine under a million stars with the rock as your backdrop.
See the sun rise over Uluru from atop a camel before joining an Aboriginal-guided tour to learn about the area. Return to Alice Springs via Rainbow Valley, a massive sandstone formation of coloured bands off the Stuart Highway.
