Board The Ghan in Adelaide, heading for the Flinders Ranges and beyond. The city streets will give way to rural South Australia before the impressive mountains of the Flinders Ranges come into view. Enjoy a regionally inspired lunch and dinner on board before settling in for the night. (L,D)
OVERNIGHT: The Ghan
Wake to an unforgettable outback sunrise at Marla and enjoy the jaw-dropping natural landscapes that pass by as you travel to Alice Springs. Upon arrival into Alice Springs, you will be transferred to your hotel to enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. (B,L)
OVERNIGHT: 3 nights Crowne Plaza Alice Springs Lasseters
Please note: Day 3 and 4 may be interchanged.
Begin today’s adventure with a visit to Flynn’s Grave, a tribute to Reverend John Flynn, the visionary founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. This historic site offers a glimpse into the pioneering spirit that shaped the more recent exploration of the Red Centre.
Next, marvel at the dramatic beauty of Simpson’s Gap. Join your Driver Guide for a guided walk through this stunning natural corridor, carved over millions of years. Keep an eye out for the elusive black-footed rock wallaby, often spotted among the rugged cliffs.
Explore the cultural and geological wonder of Standley Chasm, a site of deep significance to the local Arrernte people. On a one-hour guided walk, witness the sandstone walls come alive with vibrant hues as the midday sun illuminates the Chasm. Afterward, enjoy the opportunity to purchase lunch at the Standley Chasm Café (own expense).
Conclude your tour at the historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station, the birthplace of the town. Learn about the early pioneers and the critical role this outpost played in connecting Australia to the rest of the world. (B)
Today is yours to do as you please. Depending on your interests, perhaps take a dip in the swimming pool or visit the day spa at your hotel. Or if you want to get out and explore further, visit the Museum of Central Australia, Alice Springs Desert Park, or the Araluen Arts Centre. (B)
Your Alice Springs City Stay experience comes to an end when you check out of your accommodation after breakfast and farewell The Alice. (B)
