Are you planning your trip of a lifetime through Central Australia and only have destinations on your GPS? Many of our visitors & guests pop into reception and are heading from one destination to the other ‘We’re going from Townsville to Uluru’ or ‘We’re going to Winton from Laverton’, many haven’t taken the time to look at ‘What’s On’ along the way to make their trip truly special.
The Central Desert region is renowned for its arts, culture and some of the biggest and most unique events and festivals in Australia. The calendar is packed with many exciting activities that you will not see or experience anywhere else in the world. As Molly Meldrum said, ‘do yourself a favour ‘ and plan your trip so you can take in as many events as you can as part of your journey.
