6 or 8 Day Central Australian Aboriginal Arts and Culture Tour

During the eight day extravaganza, you'll visit eight Aboriginal Communities, many of which very few people get the opportunity to see. The tour covers most of Central Australia's beautiful and dramatic areas including the Red Centre locations of Uluru / Ayers Rock, Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, and the West MacDonnell Ranges. This is the country of well-known Albert Namatjira, and Polly and Emily Kngwarreye. You not only have the opportunity to see and admire the commitment and patience of the artists who bring to life in their art the stories and beliefs that go back generations, but you'll get to experience this country in a small group, off-road adventure, camping around open fires at night, enjoying sensational camp fire meals and sleeping under the star-filled southern sky. A six day itinerary, visiting six remote Aboriginal Communities, is also available.

7 Day Central Australian Bird Watchers Paradise

This is a true outback experience travelling off-road in a four-wheel drive vehicle with a small group of fellow bird watchers, and camping in the great outdoors of Central Australia. As well as enjoying some spectacularly scenic regions including red rock escarpments, red sand spinifex country and salt lakes, you'll visit two areas that are a beacon for birds that inhabit the region. Newhaven Bird Sanctuary covers 647,000 acres and contains 10 differing vegetation systems and landforms unique to any other reserve in northern Australia. It supports over 160 species of birds, including the last reported sightingof the endangered Night Parrot. Without generous rainfalls the arid land species are abundant but should the summer rains be generous, Newhaven will flourish with species usually only seen on the coastal wetlands. Boggy Hole on the Finke River system is the largest and most spectacular of only eight permanent water hole systems in Central Australia. It is a veritable ornithologist's haven.
