Our first destination is the Outback Camel Farm, where these gentle giants are available to ride (optional).

It's an early start today, in order to catch the exquisite sunrise over Uluru. This is definitely one for the tick list.

Get an insight into the traditional owners of the land, their customs and their ancient stories at the Cultural Centre - there are also some impressive examples of Indigenous arts and crafts available for purchase.

Prepare for some serious walking today, as we'll be on foot for most of the day!

We'll complete the rim walk into the centre of the Canyon and the start of proceedings at Kings Creek. Along the way expect to see verdant plant life, azure water holes and rocks shaped by the elements over millions of years - it's a place that sums up all that is great about the Red Centre.
