Outback Explorer: Uluru to Adelaide

• The Australian outback is strikingly beautiful, with its pindan soil, silver gum trees, expansive skies, and vast stretches of sun-drenched emptiness. As you journey from the Northern Territory to South Australia, the backdrop sets the stage for a profound experience. Coober Pedy, dubbed 'the opal capital of the world,' features lunar landscapes on the surface and vibrant colors below ground. Locals not only extract opals from a vast network of tunnels but also build their lives, attend church, and educate their children here. You'll have the opportunity to stay in an underground hotel, benefiting from nature's natural air-conditioning.

• Lake Hart, a colossal saltpan that inspired a community in the 1930s, now stands almost abandoned, creating a surreal ambiance. The immense South Australian outback, chosen as the world's largest military land base, adds to the drama. Woomera, located there, has played host to tests ranging from atomic bombs to ballistic missiles and satellite boosters. Wrap your mind around that as you make your way to Port Augusta, a natural harbor in South Australia.

• The Wadlata Outback Centre was established to unravel the mysteries of the landscapes you've been traveling through in the last couple of days. Encounter enormous ripper lizards, step back in time to the era of dinosaurs in this region, and get to know the people who originally owned and settled here, as well as those who currently call it home. Explore fossils, opals, and engage with interactive exhibits—ever tried Morse code? After all the exploration, quench your thirst with a visit to the Clare Valley. Head to the cellar door at Knappstein Wines, a historic spot, and discover why their riesling consistently wins awards. Don't miss out on tasting their other delightful wines as well.
