What to expect
You'll spend roughly two hours driving and three hours exploring on foot and at stop points. The vehicle handles the distance efficiently, giving you more time to absorb each location rather than rush through them. Expect to walk short distances at each site—nothing strenuous, but bring sturdy shoes for uneven ground. The landscape is vast and quiet; bring a camera and patience to really take it in. Each gorge and art site reveals different layers of Central Australian history and geology.
Good to know
