Explore the best of Australia as you combine the magic of the Outback, discovering Uluru and Kings Canyon, with the iconic cities of Sydney and Melbourne.

Start in Sydney, taking a guided tour to familiarise yourself with this stunning city and a ferry to the beautiful Manly beach. Then fly to the Red Centre and spend the next few days under the stars, re-connecting with nature as you camp in the Outback. Finally, Melbourne awaits as you return to the hustle and bustle of the city, exploring Melbourne's laneways and coffee shops.

Uluru and Kata Tjuta are two of Australia’s most iconic and spiritually significant landmarks, rising from the vast desert of the Red Centre. Uluru’s sheer presence is humbling, especially at sunrise and sunset when its sandstone surface glows in shifting shades of orange and crimson. Walking the base reveals ancient rock art and sacred sites, while guided tours offer insight into Anangu culture and Dreamtime stories. Nearby, the domed formations of Kata Tjuta provide dramatic views and rewarding hikes through Walpa Gorge and the Valley of the Winds, making this region a deeply moving and unforgettable experience.

Kakadu is a World Heritage-listed national park that captures the essence of the Northern Territory’s wild beauty and cultural depth. Spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometers, it’s a land of wetlands, escarpments, and ancient rock shelters. A cruise through Yellow Water Billabong reveals crocodiles, jabirus, and lush floodplains, while hikes to Jim Jim and Twin Falls offer dramatic scenery and refreshing swims. Ubirr and Nourlangie showcase some of the oldest rock art in the world, telling stories that stretch back tens of thousands of years. Whether you’re camping under the stars or staying in a lodge, Kakadu offers a rare blend of adventure, reflection, and connection to Country.

Nitmiluk National Park, near the town of Katherine, is home to thirteen majestic sandstone gorges carved by the Katherine River. A boat cruise or kayak journey through the gorge reveals towering cliffs, tranquil waters, and ancient Aboriginal rock art etched into the stone. The Jawoyn people’s stories and traditions are woven into the landscape, adding cultural depth to the natural beauty. Hiking trails lead to panoramic lookouts and secluded swimming holes, and sunrise or sunset adds a magical glow to the canyon walls. It’s one of the Territory’s most scenic and peaceful experiences, perfect for those seeking both adventure and serenity.

The Northern Territory’s food scene is bold and rooted in native ingredients, multicultural flavors, and a deep connection to the land. Expect grilled barramundi, wild-caught mud crab, and crocodile skewers, alongside kangaroo fillet and bush tomato relish. Sweet treats like Kakadu plum jam and quandong desserts add a tropical twist, while drinks—especially bush-inspired cocktails and craft beers—are refreshingly inventive. Meals are best enjoyed slowly: at a sunset market in Darwin, a starlit dinner near Uluru, or a riverside café in Katherine.
