Day Breakaway 4WD Uluru Tour
Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Watarrka
(Kings Canyon)
Palm Valley and West MacDonnell Ranges
|
 |
For
the adventure traveller, the 'Breakaway' is the ultimate
4WD 5 day safari. As would be expected, we'll see
Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta
(The Olgas), Watarrka (Kings Canyon),
Palm Valley and the West MacDonnell Ranges.
More
importantly, we'll also get to truly experience the
outback in an authentic way by going 'wayoutback'
through 2 Cattle Stations, using bush tracks that
only we have access to use.
|
|
After
experiencing the magic of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata
Tjuta (The Olgas), we go on a mind blowing 4WD expedition
to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) through two outback Cattle
Stations, Curtin Springs and Kings Creek.
Between
the two they total more than 6,300 square kilometers.
Wayoutback
is the only tour company using this direct route,
negotiating over 130km of bush tracks through
places only a few Aboriginals, early settlers and
station workers have seen.
This
is a chance to really absorb the expanse and beauty
of the Australian outback.
|
 |
 |
Our
experienced tour guides have all the required bush
skills to keep you safe and comfortable.
They
are among the best in Central Australia because of
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 local history.

After
picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs
bright and early at 5.45am, there's time for tea or coffee
on top of Anzac Hill and to watch the sunrise over Alice
while we finalise ticketing.
The
first part of the day is spent driving to Uluru-Kata
Tjuta National Park with a few stops along the way for
refreshments, a camel ride + and a chance to purchase
some Aboriginal paintings or artifacts. We break
for lunch at our bush camp, situated amongst desert oak
trees at the base of a large sand dune within the Resort.
The
afternoon is devoted to enjoying the sights of Uluru
(Ayers Rock), including a full base walk or a chance
to climb if you wish. We'll also visit the Cultural Centre
where you can learn about the Tjukurpa (Aboriginal law/religion).
It's
now time to view the magnificent sunset on Uluru accompanied
with a glass or two of sparkling wine before retiring to
the campsite for a delicious meal, a couple of drinkies
and time to sit back to contemplate the day's events.

After
watching the sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and
Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) from a lookout close to our
campsite, it's breakfast and off to Kata Tjuta for an
8km hike through the magnificent Valley of the Winds.
After a leisurely lunch and a stop at the Resort for
fuel and supplies, we head to Curtin Springs Cattle Station.
Arriving
in the mid afternoon there's plenty of opportunity to get
a close look at Atila (Mt Connor) with a Mt
Connor Sunset Tour +. Our campsite at Curtin Springs
is miles from the crowds, which is where the feeling of
'Wayoutback' really starts to take hold. After a campfire
dinner it's time to kick back and be mesmerised by the millions
of stars on display.

bush tracks no other tour can take you. We'll travel north
through Curtin Springs to Kings Creek Station, covering
some of the most beautiful and unspoilt country you're ever
likely to see. We are now truly 'WAYOUTBACK', meandering
through country seen by only a privileged few.
On arrival
at Kings Creek we head off to Watarrka (Kings Canyon).
We do a full 7km rim walk of this absolutely
stunning place before a light snack and a swim in the Garden
of Eden rock pool. Back at Kings Creek you have the
rare opportunity to take control of a quad bike and explore
some of the more secluded areas of Kings Creek Station on
one of their sunset tours +. It's then off to relax
and enjoy the evening at our remote bush camp set in beautiful
surroundings overlooking the George Gill Ranges.
