​
Day 2
Up early to head straight toward Uluru. Afternoon at The Rock, cultural talk, walk around The Rock followed by the famous Sunset. Camp at Yulara
​

Sunrise at Kata-Tjuta during the "Valley of the winds" walk. My favorite place in the desert. Here we cover all the geological aspects of the National Park. Lunch back at Yulara, then onward to Kings Creek Station to set up camp.

Straight to Kings Canyon first thing in the morning for the fabled "Rim walk". Helicopter rides optional. Back to camp for lunch, then off across the border for a bushcamp in South Australia.

Leave Coober Pedy, head south on the Stuart through salt lake country, and back into 'civilisation'. Spend the night at Stoney Creek camp in the Southern Flinders Ranges.
