outback. You’ll be joined by local residents from the community
for a tour of the ancient rock art of the Rockhole, plus a
cultural art experience which will include dot painting class.
We then rejoin the Red Centre Way, stopping for a picnic lunch

on to Yulara and well known Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
We’ll enter the park and visit the Cultural Centre to learn

sacred to the aboriginal people since time began and figures
prominently in their legends about the Dreaming, the time
of creation. After sunrise you’ll explore Walpa Gorge, walking
between the domes that make up Kata Tjuta. We’ll then travel
back to Ayers Rock Resort for a lunch break before re-entering
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park for a basewalk (not
climb due to respect of the elders wishes) of Uluru at sunset.
