DAY 3: SUNDAY
KATA TJUTA & A NIGHT AT FIELD OF LIGHT
An early start this morning to experience the magnificence of a Kata Tjuta
sunrise. On arrival at the viewing area, walk to the best vantage point to
see the 36 domes that comprise this spiritual place, watching as the sun’s
morning glow brings the desert to life.
The tour then heads to the western side of Kata Tjuta where you’ll enjoy an
outback picnic breakfast. Approaching the entrance to Walpa Gorge, named
for the wind that whistles between the massive domes that shape Kata Tjuta,
your guide will share the significance of this men’s sacred ceremonial site.
Take a stroll between the mighty conglomerate rock walls and learn how the
environment and geology have evolved over millions of years.
Next stop is the Uluru Cultural Centre for a private dot painting workshop.
Learn about traditional art, symbols, and tools from a local Anangu
artist (and assisting interpreter). Get inspired by the ancient ways of the
desert and create your very own work of art to treasure. Throughout the
workshop, the artist will share a part of their culture with you and help you
to better understand Aboriginal paintings and culture. The tour will return
to the resort around 1pm.
Late afternoon, you’ll be transferred to a remote desert location with Tourism NT/Shaana McNaught
majestic views of Uluru. As the sun sets on the horizon, enjoy gourmet
canapés and chilled sparkling wine, and soak up the ambience of your last Dot painting with Anangu artist
evening in the Red Centre.
As darkness falls, watch in awe from the top of your private dune as the
coloured lights of 50,000 glass spheres gently come to life, then join your HIGHLIGHTS:
