opals. All set against the backdrop of

afternoon, travel to a dining setting in
the desert. Sip on a glass of sparkling
wine with the sound of a lone didgeridoo
filling the air as the sun sets over
Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and Uluru (Ayers
Rock). Dine on a gourmet BBQ of
Australian delicacies, then sit back and
take in the mystery of the desert at
night as an astronomer takes you on a
tour of the Southern night skies.
