This morning, pick up your Avis car and depart Alice Springs and travel south along the Stuart Highway and on to Kings Canyon.

Kings Canyon is the deepest gorge in the Centre and magnificently beautiful. Waterholes on the canyon floor never completely dry up and foster lush growth, which includes palms of ancient biological origin. Take in the huge expanse of the outback from the vantage point of the canyon rim during the day before walking through Bruce Munro’s latest immersive sound and light installation, Light-Towers at Discovery Kings Canyon. Your evening experience will see a local guide lead you through the installation under the golden glow of sunset.
