It’s an early rise today for an exciting morning with breathtaking views of sunrise at Uluru (Ayers Rock), a World Heritage listed area. Join your knowledgeable guide for a base tour of Uluru, exploring ancient caves where Aboriginal paintings can be seen - a fascinating time learning about the oldest culture in the world.

Tonight, try a traditional camp oven dinner, cooked in the coals of the fire.

There are great walks to explore and in summer you can take a swim to cool off. Late afternoon you will go to the Wallace Rockhole Aboriginal Community, the overnight camp.

DAY 5 Wallace Rockhole to Alice Springs
Real 4WD touring today as you drive through Finke Gorge National Park into Palm Valley. Dry riverbeds and uneven tracks make the journey an adventure in itself. The effort is well worth it when you see the park’s rough red gorges and view ancient stands of palm trees and cycads. Picnic and do some hiking here before returning to Alice Springs later in the day, arriving approx. 6.30pm.
