Grab your sunhats and load up space on the camera roll for six days of Outback-sized adventure in Central Australia. Join a local leader and a small group of families as you tick off Australia’s great natural sites in the Northern Territory. Start by exploring the bases of Uluru and Kata Tjuta on two feet and two wheels, learning about their connection to Creation Time from a local Anangu guide. Then, hit the road to discover the bright-red colours of Tjoritja (West McDonnell Ranges), Finke River National Park and even a nearby asteroid crater, along with a handful of wildlife, wallabies and wilderness in between.
Highlights
- Feel like an ant as you cycle around the base of Uluru before you see its amazing colour-changing magic when the sun goes down at night and up again in the morning.
- Count the many heads of Kata Tjuta before you wander through one of the gaps – some which reach 546 metres high – to reach a sanctuary of wildflowers and the occasional wallaroo.
- Journey down the bright red canyon walls of Kings Creek and learn from your leader about the wildlife that have adapted to survive living in Australia’s hot desert climate.
- Sit back and relax in your air conditioned and private-ensuite tents at an Intrepid-exclusive campsite located at Finke River National Park in Tjoritja (West MacDonnell Ranges).
- Hop from asteroid crater to Ghost Gum trail to natural swimming pool in the Ormiston Gorge area, learning about local Aboriginal Creation Stories along the way.

This was the most fantastic way for my daughters and I to experience the Red Centre for the first time. We could have done it alone but it was infinitely times more special doing it with our group. The Karrke Aboriginal Cultural Experience was a highlight and perfectly suited to my daughters.
