The bus whispers over the red dust and, as the sky thins toward evening, the domes of Kata Tjuta rise like a line of aged ships on the horizon. Sunlight slides across rounded faces of rust and ochre; the rocks take on new hues with each passing minute and the driver-guide’s voice softens, giving space for the landscape to speak. Guests step down—a small, expectant crowd—glasses of sparkling wine ready in hand, and the desert cools around them.
