Ayers Rock 5 Day
4WD Camping Safari

If you do have a bit of time to spare on your visit to Australia's Red Centre we strongly recommend our 5 day 4WD Camping Safari. The extra time allows visitors to experience the highlights of the Western MacDonnell ranges, such as Palm Valley, and not so often visited places like Mt. Connor, which because it is on private property cannot normally be accessed.
