Overview
Leaving Alice we take the well traveled tourist run to Hermannsburg, the home of the famous Australian artist Albert Namatijira, and learn about his life and the Lutheran churches involvement in this area. We continue for Kings canyon on the not so traveled Mereenie loop, where we will walk the rim of this spectacular rock formation. Hoping we travel in a good season we will see fields of wildflowers as we make our way to Curtin Springs, Yalara, Uluru and Kata Tjuta where there is always something different to learn and see.
After a few walks and stories we leave this area for the desert country of the Finke river and Simpson desert. For the 400 km crossing and 1200 sand dunes of the Simpson desert. Another area that has so much to offer, after back to back raisin the desert, it will leave you in ore of its beauty.
Arriving in Birdsville with a well earned thirst we will visit its famous hotel. Before making our way across to the inland rivers and basins of outback Queensland , to finish our tour in Toowoomba.
