Red Centre Light Trail
Suggested Itinerary
6 Day Itinerary
Alice Springs to Uluru
The Red Centre Light Trail offers the ultimate way to road trip Central Australia in 2026, threading together some of the region's most moving nighttime experiences into one journey.
It begins in Alice Springs for Parrtjima, the annual Indigenous festival of light and art, leading to Kings Canyon, where acclaimed artist Bruce Munro's 'Light Towers' installation glows each evening. From here, make your way to Uluru, home to Field of Light, Wintjiri Wiru and Sunrise Journeys experiences, each offering its own way of connecting with Country.
It's a loop you can shape to your own pace. Some sections of the Red Centre Way call for a 4WD, though you can still complete the loop entirely on sealed roads with a little backtracking. However you travel, you decide where to pause and where to let the desert settle around you.
