Laverton to Uluru (1125kms)

Note: Permits are required. Contact your nearest Visitor Information Centre for details.

Scenery steals the show on this stretch of the Way, a wild and remote part of Australia, with open spaces stretching to the horizon, vast salt lakes, and pockets of natural springs and waterholes that come to life after infrequent rain. The area is sparsely populated, dotted occasionally with roadhouses and isolated Aboriginal communities. Three renowned art centres, Tjulyuru, Tjarlirli and Kaltukatjara lie on route.

Uluru to Alice Springs (445kms)

Approaching Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park from the west, your first breathtaking sight is the massive domes of Kata Tjuta before Uluru comes into view. Stay at Yulara and experience sunrise and sunset, the Uluru Base Walk, and Kata Tjuta’s Valley of the Winds. Explore by camel, helicopter, segway or with a local guide, and hear ancient Aboriginal creation stories. After dark, enjoy starlit dining or the magical Field of Light exhibition. On the drive to Alice Springs, stop at Curtin Springs Wayside Inn for outback hospitality, admire Mt Conner from its lookout on the Lasseter Highway and finish at the striking sandstone cliffs of Rainbow Valley (70 kilometres south of Alice Springs), a perfect finale to an unforgettable Red Centre adventure.
