Loud & Proud - Hermannsburg & Ellery Big Hole

The Western Arrarnta People have been keeping culture, singing stories for 10s of 1000s of years. In 1877, Lutheran Pastors from Germany arrived on horseback and settled by an ancient River.

Side by Side - Finke Gorge & Palm Valley

Land aboard for one of the finest 4WD experiences in Central Australia followed by one of the most exquisite walking destinations, the Finke Gorge National Park – Valley of the Palms and Kalarranga. A remote dirt road winds its way along and across a mighty river, perhaps the oldest continuous river course in the world. Widely referred to as the Finke River, the Western Arrarnta people know it as Lhere Pernte (Larapinta), salty river. In the Park, after a good rain, fish will appear in the normally dry waterholes. Three of the nine fish found in the Larapinta, don’t occur in any other river system. Another anomaly is the wondrous towering Red Cabbage Palms. Normally found in a luxuriant rainforest, these along with Cycad Ferns and White Cypress Pines populate the creek and gorge walls in cool shadows and drink from hidden water. Close by the land opens to the sky. It meets with the harsh semi-arid land. Seems a world away as you cast your eye over mesmerising intense red sandstone formations that remind you of battle ships on a lost sea, from ancient times. Seasoned walkers will love the big walks and for ramblers, short and easier.

Tracks & Trails - East MacDonnell Ranges

The East MacDonnell Ranges is an intimate representation of the Ancestors which emerged at the beginning of time and with spirited adventure, created everything that is. Today, descendants honour the work and lessons of their ancestors through oral storytelling, singing, dancing and symbolic drawings. Different to the West, in the East MacDonnell Ranges, it’s a privilege to stand in the sacred space of the Caterpillar Dreaming depicted in ochre paintings on the ancient rock face overhanging a typically dry creek bed. Venture further to more remote country and in a gorge, discover symbols etched in rock. The details known to selected Eastern Arrernte senior men, bestowed the authority to manage, maintain stories and use the information responsibly. At Trephina Gorge, walk mindfully from the gorge floor upward to the blue sky through abundant bush food and medicine flora that will pleasantly surprise and lead you to wonder. If you’re lucky to be here after substantial rain, the Chain of Ponds is exquisite. Pull into Ross River Resort historic homestead, for a hearty meal, coffee, a schooner at the bar mounted on a station stock saddle or relax on an authentic leather lounge from the original Ghan train.

More then Art Tour - Indigenous Community Art Centre

A dusty, corrugated straight dirt road, sometimes interrupted by a curve, a dip, a floodway even though it rarely rains. Takes you through expansive cattle stations, sparsely populated with brumbies. Arrive at a remote Indigenous community where residents live on their traditional lands but for others, they’ve made it home as a result of displacement. So many stories to tell of traditional and contemporary life. An opportunity to meet and talk with Elders or adults in a space they’ve created to express, speak in language, share truths, work to provide income for families, laugh and inspire. The achievements of these artists will blow you away. Their designs feature on the swaying carriages of the Ghan Train, the carpet when you arrive to collect your luggage at the Alice Springs Airport, the winning guernsey of the Melbourne Football Club – Demons AFL Indigenous team. Take time to step out, see and experience another way!

Parallel Time

Dusty corrugated dirt roads through outback cattle stations, travel alongside time on Southern Arrernte lands. Learn the story of a menacing ancestor, going ‘wrong way’. Lessons of kinship starkly evidenced by a towering sandstone pillar standing solitary on the edge of the Simpson Desert. Walk and discover animal tracks leading to spinifex shelters. Small birds forage and raptors soar. Lizards scuttle away. After good rain, wildflowers burst with colour, pink, yellow, orange, purple, white. Climb the stairs upward to Itirkawara, named Chambers Pillar by the first Explorers. It remained a land mark for Pioneers of the new world. Relics of the Overland Telegraph Line and old Ghan Train rail line can be sighted as we drive parallel to the famous Finke Desert race track. One of the world’s most challenging off-road motor races in one of the most remote parts of the world. By arrangement, visit the local Indigenous Community, situated on Southern Arrernte Country but made up of displaced peoples from surrounding Countries who came to work on the cattle station in return for rations. An arts centre is now situated in this remote and relatively modern community. Be inspired!
