Audley in the Red Centre
Marooned amongst the Red Centre’s vast scrubland lies Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, two of Australia’s awesome icons whose colours change with the shifting desert light. The nearby desert outpost of Alice Springs is an important stop for the Ghan Railway on its journey across the continent, a centre for the Flying Doctor Service and a vital supply point for the scattered residents who call this unforgiving region home.
To ensure you get the most out of Uluru and Kata Tjuta we use Aboriginal guides to explain the landscape’s spiritual significance, and further enhance the experience by meeting the Aboriginal community of Gunya Titjikala, south of Alice Springs, taking the Larapinta Trail, exploring the East and West McDonnell ranges and experiencing the Outback at its best at Ooraminna Homestead on Deep Well Station.
The best time to visit is from July to September, with warm days, cool nights and fewest flies.
