Day 1: We start early departing at 5.30am from Alice Springs to travel

to Kings Canyon where we hike to explore the amazing North and

time to take photos to last for a lifetime. Trekking through Kings

Canyon we visit the Amphitheatre, the Lost City and the Garden of

Eden. In summer we tend to shorten hikes due to extreme

temperatures. After a hearty lunch we travel onto Ayers Rock (Uluru)

to our permanent campsite where we take in the sunset and enjoy dinner

before stargazing the amazing outback night sky and turning in for a good

nights rest.
