We make it back to camp in time for an enthralling desert sunset over Uluru. After dinner, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) and watch the stars come out to play in the darkening sky. (LD)Tour Day 9 - Uluru to Kings CanyonSunrise over UIuru is magical! It's an early start to catch it. While the morning's fresh (and your legs are too!) take a walk around Uluru's base, or climb to the top if you choose - however, the Anangu traditional owners prefer it if you don't. Gain a further insight into the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre, where you'll also have the opportunity to invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous artists. We'll have some lunch before heading over to Kings Canyon. Tonight's dinner is cooked in a camp oven and the result is delicious! We spend the night at our permanent campsite at Kings Canyon Resort.
