In this DVD
Rob and Marg finish up their journey into the Red Centre in Part II of this outback adventure in DVD issue 150.
First up is the mighty Kings Canyon, where they take the challenge and climb to the top of the mountain, and then embark on a 6km hike around its rim. The day ends with a camel safari and great live entertainment with ‘The Roadies’ at Kings Canyon Resort, where Rob and Marg join in on the music and dancing!
We’ll then hear about Rob and Marg’s trip so far, discussing the highlights, lowlights, issues they’ve experienced along the way, and memorable moments.
Last but certainly not least, we visit Uluru. The majesty of this brilliant red rock comes to life as we explore it up close and personally. Rob and Marg also join an Aboriginal culture tour, where they learn a few tips and tricks on living off the land. They even have a go at spear throwing!
This journey into the Red Centre ends with meeting new friends and enjoying (yet another) happy hour!
Come along for the ride!
