The internet may have changed the way travellers do their research, but travel brochures are still a popular way of obtaining travel information. Here’s what new this week.
1. Uluru tours with AAT
AAT Kings is bringing central Australia to life with the release of its 2015-16 Uluru Day Tours brochure, including an updated Uluru Sunrise & Guided Base Walk that now includes a walk around the entire base of Uluru.
The brochure has Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon covered with a range of half day and one day sightseeing tours all with free hotel pick-ups.
The Uluru Sunrise & Guided Base Walk provides guests the unique opportunity to walk the entire base with a guide.
The walk begins at the sacred site of Kuniya Piti, continues with the Mala Walk, moves onto the powerful waterfall at Kantju Gorge and the Lungkata Walk, and finishes with the Mutitjulu Waterhole Walk.
The tour also includes an Uluru sunrise viewing and a light breakfast ahead of the walk.
