This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: West MacDonnell National Park, West MacDonnell National Park, Red Centre, Northern Territory
Stunning landscape – Simpsons Gap and Stanley Chasm in the West MacDonnell Ranges are part of the home lands of local Arrernte people. It holds a special energy. Wonder at the geological magnificence and the ancient lessons it holds. The native vegetation nurtures the mind, body and spirit. Connect with the souls of your feet in the sand. Your troubles will fall away. Purchase a coffee or tea at a cafe, 100% owned and operated by the local Arrernte community. When available, say ‘werte’ to proud Arrernte and those of neighbouring home lands who express living two ways, a contemporary life through water colour paintings. A legacy of Albert Namatjira and others.
