CAVE HILL DAY TOUR

For thousands of years the Traditional Owners of Cave Hill have nurtured a deep and spiritual bond with their land. Travelling 2½ hours from Ayers Rock Resort in a custom built luxury 4WD, through the Central Australian desert and across the border into South Australia, this unique journey will introduce you to an ancient chapter of the Seven Sisters creation story. Along the way you will stop for morning tea overlooking Mount Connor, rising like an island above the desert floor. Upon arrival at the Cave Hill community your Aboriginal Guides will explain the significance of the surrounding landscape and how it relates to Tjukurpa – their system of values, beliefs and lore.

After lunch under a wiltja with Traditional Owners you embark on your guided tour of Cave Hill. The story of the Seven Sisters is translated from Yankunytjatjara to English and brought to life through the spectacular rock art that has been dated at over 20,000 years old. You will learn how the physical features of the region relate to different stages in the story. Your return journey follows narrow desert tracks, past native flora and fauna (some of which you may encounter up close). The final stage of your journey winds its way past the magical sight of Uluru and the setting sun before arriving back at Ayers Rock Resort.
