At nearly 500 kilometers, the journey from the almost exact center-point of Australia at Alice Springs to Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) is one filled with the spirit of the outback. One of the Northern Territory’s most famous towns, ‘Alice’ started out life as a simple repeater station for the transcontinental telegraph line.
Now a hub for those wishing to learn more about Aboriginal Australia and the country’s ‘Red Center’, it is also just a short distance from natural spectacle and true wilderness, be it the reds and oranges of nearby gorges or the beauty of the West MacDonnell Ranges.

Need 1 more day in Rome for st Peter's Basilica and the pantheon. Rest was really good.
The include guided tours are informative as they are conducted by local guides. The optional experiences were also well chosen by Insight.
I walked with a cane (awaiting a knee replacement within 2 weeks after the trip. Vivian and the group of travelers were very patient with me. I would suggest this trip for the healthier individuals. Sites were beautiful, but all the walking is a challenge if handicapped. I was very fortunate to be with our special group of 24 and having Vivian as our tour guide! Overall it was a wonderful trip!!!
The most beautiful country I have ever visited. I highly recommend this trip as it captures everything and beyond that Italy has to offer.
The travel director and driver made it a wonderful trip
"Travel Matters" excursions are often just glorified shopping trips. Especially frustrating was going to a "oil/scent" shop for 2 hours
