A Northern Territory short break at Alice Springs, Kings Canyon & Uluru

Enjoy Australia’s most potent icon combined with Kings Canyon and Alice Springs the heart of Australia

Uluru is Australia’s most potent icon. Australians have embraced this gargantuan, 35 metre high lump of scorched red sandstone as a fitting metaphor for the grandeur and the isolation their continent.

Alice Springs, the heart of Central Australia is comprised of gorges, boundless desert landscapes, remote Aboriginal communities and a charming pioneering history.

Between the two places is Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, a mighty chasm cleaving the earth to a depth of 270 metres. The sheer red rock face of the canyon soars over 100 metres above dense forests of palms, ferns and cycads, sheltering them from the surrounding desert conditions.
