Uluru: Does it get any better than a 'Big Brekkie' cooked up on the BBQ? We think not.

Uluru: Salute this sacred landmark with drinks and nibbles as you watch the sun set. A moment you’ll replay in your mind forever.

Kings Canyon: Climb the 'stairway to heaven' to the aptly named Garden of Eden, Kings Canyon.
