You'll be surprised at what can be produced in Central Australia. The Region has a strong agriculture and produce industry with some opportunities for you to explore.

Joining an organised tour to and around the Centre means you don't have to worry about navigating or driving through the region; you can sit back and fully enjoy the spectacular scenery. Having a tour guide for your journey also means you won't miss out on any of the fascinating details about the different areas and attractions.

The diversity of the Centre guarantees each traveller, a range of holiday experiences to suit special interests as well as the full range of budgets.

To travel to the heart of the continent is to encounter a land of wondrous extremes. The country appears harsh, yet it has been travelled and lived in for thousands of years. Out of the dunes and spinifex rises two stone formations ? the immense monolith of Ayers Rock/Uluru and the domes of Mt Olga/Kata Tjuta. Both command attention. Their scale and presence captivate the imagination of the thousands of visitors who travel to the region each year.

No matter how many pictures you've seen, nothing will prepare you for your first view of Uluru. Even from a distance, across the rich red plain of The Centre, the power of its ancient spirit will overwhelm you. Once you stand at its base, touch it and explore its mysteries, you will understand why it's not only a treasured icon to local Aboriginal people, but also one of the great wonders of the world.
