Description

Lace up your boots and set out from Adelaide on an outback adventure that takes you deep through the Ikara Flinders Ranges, Coober Pedy, Kings Canyon and Uluru. This seven day journey is full of epic hikes, ancient stories, and nights camping beneath skies ablaze with stars. It's all about connection to Country, from the rugged rock faces of Arkaroo Rock to Adnyamathanha and Anangu storytelling under the outback sky.

Hit the trails in Ikara Flinders Ranges National Park and keep your eyes peeled for ancient Aboriginal rock art before sinking into a night's sleep under the stars. Roll into Coober Pedy where you'll go underground to escape the heat and try your luck noodling for opals-then drift off in a cool, subterranean dorm.

Chase that desert vibe north, past Kanku Breakaways and the endless Dingo Fence, making your way to Kings Creek Station at the edge of Watarrka National Park. Take on the mighty Kings Canyon Rim Walk for cracking views, then head straight for Uluru to soak up its ever-changing colours.

Wake early for sunrise and a guided base walk around Uluru itself, hear Dreaming stories at the Cultural Centre, stroll the dome-shaped Kata Tjuta and Walpa Gorge, and finish your adventure with fresh stories, red dust in your boots and memories to last a lifetime.
