Australia’s rugged Red Centre – including Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and Watarrka (Kings Canyon) – has all the ingredients for adventure, discovery and excitement in a calm and inviting environment. So many of the world’s great desert landscapes are sadly off-limits due to political instability and war. For those who love the wild outdoors, it’s a dream come true to be able to explore such magnificent natural wonders unfettered by such cares and concerns. As well as these dramatic works of nature’s hand, the Red Centre is the heartland of the Anangu indigenous people of Australia and their fascinating historic culture, far beyond the scope of this small booklet. Within these pages you will find trekking route descriptions for the most famous trails in the area, illustrated with colour photographs and three outline maps. Australia’s Red Centre awaits you with open arms and open skies.
