Experience a walk amongst the rare Red Cabbage Palms left as relics from a lush climate many millions of years past. After a gourmet picnic lunch we travel back along the river bed to visit the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct

Join a day of 4WD adventure as we head West from Alice Springs through Owen Springs Cattle Station to explore the Finke Gorge National Park. This area known as Palm Valley contains some very rare and endangered living fossils. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along Palm Creek absorbing the ambience of this desert oasis.

A more vigorous option is a climb to the top of the valley walls. Cycad Gorge offers an impressive cliff display of these rare plants, which only grow along the northern and western walls of the gorge. Kalarranga Lookout affords an impressive view of the Amphitheatre, a site of significance for the local Aranda Tribe.

Hermannsburg is our next stop, time to explore this historical mission and stroll amongst the buildings in awe at the achievements in a hostile environment. Tour the gallery of the famous water colour artists of Hermannsburg. View the works of the father of this watercolour art style Albert Namatjira. Purchase genuine works of art and artifacts of the sons and daughters of Hermannsburg. Returning to Alice Springs late afternoon.
