TOUR ACTIVITIES

Some of our delegates have indicated that they will be attending the Welcome Ceremony by the traditional owners (on Sunday July 8).  We will be contacting those delegates prior to the event with information about the Ceremony and travel arrangements for the trip to and from Telegraph Station for lunch.

Rebecca Watling, Groups Co-ordinator, Territory Discoveries, has some great suggestions for other activities that you can enjoy while in Alice Springs - either on the Sunday, the Wednesday morning (as the Indigenous Researchers' Forum does not commence until 1.00pm) or the Saturday morning (July 14) for those who fly out that afternoon.

 
          Camel ride to breakfast....
 


  ...a trip to Ellery Creek Big Hole?

          Telegraph Station

To find out more about Quad Bike Rides, Camels for Breakfast, Hot Air Ballooning, a tour of Telegraph Station, a drive out to Ellery Creek Big Hole - or a range of other activities that you can do whilst in Alice Springs, please contact:
