Overnight at Glen Helen Resort or continue on the 260 kilometre Mereenie Loop, part of which is unsealed, to Kings Canyon, where 300 metre sheer cliff faces and a palm-fringed swimming hole are highlights. Stop along the way at Tnorala / Gosse Bluff Conservation Reserve - a huge crater formed by a comet over 130 million years ago. Take the Kings Canyon Rim Walk for breathtaking views over the red landscape before driving 300 kilometres south to Uluru where its sheer size is best appreciated from a nine kilometre walk around the base.
