Day 1. Ayers Rock Resort, Kata Tjuta (Olgas), Olga Gorge (Walpa Gorge), Uluru (Ayers Rock).
Arrive at Ayers Rock Airport before 1.00 p.m. and be welcomed and transferred to your hotel. This afternoon we travel to the magnificent domes of Kata Tjuta, these 36 dramatic rock formations dominate the skyline. Enjoy the walk into majestic Olga Gorge, where some of the plants are so rare that they are only found around these sandstone monoliths. Tales of the Tjukurpa (Dreamtime) period are closely linked to the domes of Kata Tjuta. Enjoy a glass of wine at sunset as you watch the spectacular changing colours of Uluru. Tonight enjoy the facilities of Ayers Rock Resort (own expense).
Two Night Stay: Ayers Rock Resort, choice of hotel.

Day 2. Uluru Tour, 'Sounds of Silence' Dinner.
Shortly before sunrise travel back to Uluru to admire the sunrise. Enjoy a tea or coffee and watch as the first light of day strikes the monolith. With the sun still rising join a guided walk to Mutitjulu waterhole. Take the Mala Walk to learn of the Mala (Hare Wallaby) people who once lived at Uluru. Explore Kantju Gorge, a sacred waterhole and an old hunting ground. Hear ancient stories told by traditional owners and learn of the history of Uluru. The more energetic may wish to forgo the Mutitjulu and Mala walks to climb to the summit of Uluru. Enjoy spectacular views across the desert. Visit the Cultural Centre and the Maruku Arts and Craft Cooperative to see Aboriginal artists at work. Tonight, experience fine cuisine in the solitude of the desert at the 'Sounds of Silence' Dinner. Listen to the haunting tones of the didgeridoo and savour the five-course dinner, including Australian delicacies such as kangaroo, emu, crocodile and barramundi. After dinner relax and enjoy a guided tour of the starry skies. (D)
