The Northern Territory is begging to be explored. Roads to most attractions are sealed and in good condition but some destinations can be long and have rugged and remote terrain like the Merennie Loop. A fully equiped 4WD is essential to handle any situation.

Kings Canyon   Kings Canyon

Nothing can prepare you for the magnificent sight of Kings Canyon, photos just dont do it justice. One of the true beauties of The Northern Territory. Take the path and venture into the belly of the creek where you see the sheer walls. Or if you are fit enough take the steep climb up the steps and walk along the top ridge. Around deep crevices, up and down caves with a rocky underfoot. You see so much more and take in the whole size and beauty of this canyon. Then sit back and watch the colour against the rock change as the sun slowly sets. A real treat!

Ayers Rock   Top of Ayers Rock, view The Olgas   Top of Ayers Rock, view The Olgas

One of the most famous Aussie icons and one you wont be disappointed with. Uluru, or its familiar name, Ayers Rock is a aworesome sight. Even bigger and redder than you first expect. It takes over 3 hours to walk around the base! Although the aborginals have a traditional route for their ancestral mala men, they ask that you respect their wishes and do not climb the rock. However many do, and if you can keep your balance up the very very, steep slippery slope then the view is fabulous. Even more rewarding is being away from the rock just enough to see the full size and watch as the colour changes with either the sunset or the sunrise.

Enjoy the awesome thrill as a passenger on the ultimate motorcycle, the Harley Davison. Feel the freedom and exhilaration as you head along the highway or travel round the perimeter of Ayers Rock.

The Olgas   The Olgas   The Olgas

Kata Tjuta or its better known name, The Olgas is also a fabulous sight. The 36 domes area is scared where mens law rules and hense some places are restricted and as with Ayers Rock, even some places can not be photographed. Take the 'Valley of the Winds' walk amongest the sheer walls and see little oasis. Experience the bright red colour and strange foams against the vivid blue sky. This is one not to be missed and to us, had a more dramanic feel to. The colour changes at sunrise and sunset seem more intense and strikingly brighter than Ayers.

Sounds of Silence dinner is one to remember. On a lone sand dune with 360 degrees of the vast landscape, with the domes of Kata Tjuta behind and the famous Uluru in front, dine under the stars listening to the storyteller sharing this tales. After dinner, take a tour of the southern sky with the best stargazing of the milky way and consolations.
