Dusty road, dry heat, a horizon that keeps its distance — arrive in Alice Springs and the landscape announces itself in broad strokes. The tour begins with a short, purposeful walk through town: red dirt underfoot, anthemic gum trees sketching shade, and local guides who move between hard-won fact and lived memory. Over seven days, the coach becomes a slow-moving lens across the Red Centre, pausing for sudden concentrations of history and geology — Simpsons Gap’s cool cleft, the palm pockets of Finke Gorge, and then the great, solitary presence of Uluru.
