We’ll be visiting Josephine’s Gallery and Kangaroo Orphanage to learn more about what they do for our beautiful orphaned kangaroos. The gallery also includes an extensive range of Aboriginal artwork. The rest of the day is yours to do whatever you please, and there is plenty to explore. In the evening, you’ll be sleeping in an underground bunker – how exciting!

Then we’ll cross the border from South Australia to the Northern Territory, known as the Top End. We’ll drive to Watarrka National Park, home to the famous Kings Canyon.

In the afternoon we take part in a fun and authentic dot painting workshop, creating your own artwork to take home and treasure forever. Next, we’ll visit the Cultural Centre to learn more about the Anangu people and their culture through exhibits and presentations.
We’ll then head back to camp where you can relax. One of the best places to do this is around the pool. Or ask your guide about the activities at the Ayers Rock Resort. This is also our camping spot, so you can once more roll out your swag for a last night of sleeping under the stars.
