Try the Ayers Rock to Alice Springs experiences, page 40, or Take a Camel to Dinner, page 38. Explore the Red Center, Australia’s Outback—where nature overwhelms and you’ll find the real spirit of Australia. A 60,000-year-old Aboriginal cultural and spiritual connection to this region echoes in each rock and landmark.

 

Twice the size of California, yet “the Territory” (as the locals call it) has only 200,000 people. The wide-open space forms the backdrop for great adventures.

Alice Springs

Ayers Rock, Uluru-Kata Tjuta, a World Heritage-listed National Park of ancient geological treasures, epitomizes the Australian outback. Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the most famous monolith in the world and is most impressive during sunrise and sunset.
Nearby Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Kings Canyon, and the West McDonnell Ranges are equally impressive

Darwin

Darwin boasts a relaxed lifestyle and a huge choice of activities. The city’s colorful outdoor markets are world-renowned and restaurants  range from fine dining to the more casual fish & chips on the wharf. Just 160 miles east, you’ll find the treasures of Kakadu National Park— the wild sandstone escarpments of Arnhem Land, cascading waterfalls in the east, mangrove-rich tidal flats of Van Dieman’s Gulf in the north and Katherine Gorge in the south—an experience you’ll never forget!

Tropical Top End

Start your journey from Darwin, a cosmopolitan city that boasts upwards of 45 different ethnic groups and a great variety of restaurants to match. See majestic waterfalls, wetlands and wildlife at World Heritagelisted Kakadu National Park and marvel at the untamed beauty of Arnhem Land.

Parts of Aboriginal legacy that most visitors come to see are the famous Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock, where Dreamtime legend, history and day-to-day living are presented side-by-side. Arnhem Land has been home to over 40 different Aboriginal tribes for thousands of years.
