Parrtjima & Lights of the Red Centre

Nestled in the enchanting Alice Springs Desert Park in the iconic Red Centre, Parrtjima promises a captivating spectacle that seamlessly blends mesmerizing light displays with innovative Aboriginal designs and cutting-edge technology. Over at Discovery Resorts – Kings Canyon, the renowned British artist Bruce Munro has crafted Light-Towers, an immersive light installation that now bathes Kings Canyon in its luminous glow. As night descends and Uluru transforms into a striking silhouette, the acclaimed Field of Light, an installation by artist Bruce Munro, paints the desert with gentle, rhythmic hues as far as the eye can see, and due to its overwhelming popularity, it has been extended indefinitely. Wintjiri Wiru, translating to ‘beautiful view out to the horizon’ in the local Pitjantjatjara language, offers a breathtaking cultural narrative through choreographed drones, lasers, and projections, bringing to life a chapter of the ancestral Mala story under the vast night sky. Explore the Red Centre on this pacakge to experience all the light shows throughout this region, whilst exploring the awe-inspiring West MacDonnell Ranges, including Simpsons Gap and Ellery Creek Big Hole.
