During a one-hour tour through dedicated sheltered areas in the bush, Natasha, her brother Peter and other members of their aboriginal community reveal the secrets of traditional medicines and foods, seeds used for jewelry making, natural paints, symbolic shapes, and ceremonial or hunting tools like sticks, boomerangs and spears made from robust Mulga wood. They originate from Wanmara and belong to a community of only ten people dedicated to preserving and safeguarding the local Luritja and Pertame language, culture, and heritage. The Karrke Aboriginal cultural experience is available from February to the end of October, every Wednesday through Friday, with departures at 10:30 am and 2:00 pm.
A few kilometers further, we arrive at Kings Creek Station for a site inspection. After visiting the simple and rustic Bush Tents (twin or queen beds, air conditioning, and access to shared bathroom facilities), we travel another 6 kilometers to explore the Drovers Dream tents, set on a hill in the bush for a luxury glamping experience, offering breathtaking views of the stunning George Gill Ranges. These high-end tents are adults-only and are ideal for honeymooners or couples.
We then head towards Ayers Rock Resort for an exceptional evening: A Night at Field of Lights Dinner. An AAT Kings bus picks us up at 5:20 pm at the Desert Gardens Hotel to take us to red ochre sand hills, in the Outback between Uluru and Kata Tjuta. This culinary experience under the stars combines with a unique artistic experience, thanks to the work of British artist Robert Munro and his thousands of lights that illuminate the bush over several hectares at dusk. Magical and… delicious!
