Travelling through the vast desert in an intimate group is inspiring to say the least. Traversing a cultural landscape, shaped by the forces of water, wind, and fire, while learning directly from the worlds oldest living culture, is nothing short of profound.
During the adventure, you’ll get acquainted with the Red Centre’s iconic locations, including Uluru, Kings Canyon, and Tjoritja (the West MacDonnell Ranges). Reconnect with your creativity by making art outdoors in breathtaking landscapes, and enjoy conversations around the campfire.
We will visit Aboriginal Art Centres, meet artists and cultural experts, and eat a bushfoods platter by Arrernte icon Rayleen Brown. Our nights will be a mix of high quality hotel accomm and glamping tents, with our final night spent camping under the stars in swags. You will be escorted by an experienced tour guide with extensive local knowledge and a passion for this desert ecosystem for the entire trip.
Experienced artists & beginners welcome.
