Overnight Kings Canyon Resort (standard room) Day 3. Kings Canyon to Ayers Rock. (187 miles)
In this region of the Northern Territory, you will be inspired by some of Australia?s most significant natural attractions, the most famous of all being Ayers Rock or Uluru. West of Ayers Rock Resort is Mount Olga, a collection of weathered red domes, the tallest of which stands 200 metres taller than Ayers Rock. At sunset, the Olgas hold their own light show to rival the Rock's - both inspiring, but individually unique. For experienced walkers, the Olgas offer a four to five hour walk through the poetically named Valley of the Winds. For an easier walk with great views taking only an hour or so, go to Olga Gorge (Tatintjawiya).

Perhaps take a morning drive out to the rock and watch the sunrise over this incredible monolith. Drop off your vehicle and continue with your travel plans.
