Ride a camel this morning at the Outback Camel Farm (at

(Olgas) on a guided interpretive walk through the

millions of stars in an authentic Aussie bedroll (swag)
at our permanent campsite at Ayers Rock Resort. (LD)

An early start is required to view the magical Uluru

This morning we explore picturesque Ormiston Gorge
before engaging '4WD' as we travel along the ancient
track of the Finke River into Palm Valley and
Cycad Gorge. We spend most of the day exploring Palm

and home to one of the rarest trees in the world, tropical
