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.

After
picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs
bright and early at 5.45am, we complete ticketing on top
of Anzac Hill while watching the sun rise over Alice Springs
with a cup of tea or coffee.
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 or climb Uluru if you choose to do so.
It's
then close to that time ... yes, 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.

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 an
8km 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.

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.
After
lunch we start making our way back to Alice Springs travelling
on a typical outback dirt road and then 4x4 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).
