Sounds
of Silence
At the Sounds of Silence experience you can dine under
the canopy of the desert night, while your very own
storyteller shares the tales of humanity as told in
the stars.
Entered into the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, Sounds
of Silence offers the best of the Red Centre distilled
into four magical hours. An unforgettable evening, eating
beautifully prepared food under the sparkling outback
sky.
Your journey begins on a lone sand dune. A meandering
path takes you to an uninterrupted, three hundred and
sixty degree view of this vast landscape. In front of
you is the fabled Uluru; behind you are the domes
of Kata Tjuta and, possibly the most spectacular
sunset you have ever seen. Here you enjoy sparkling
wine and a selection of delectable canapιs.
As the sun sets in a blaze of reds and oranges, and
well into the starlit night, you feast on a gourmet
barbecue buffet of authentic Australian delicacies including
barramundi, kangaroo, emu, crocodile, bush salads and
classic desserts, complemented by some of Australia's
finest wines.
Attention then turns to some of the world's best stargazing,
as our resident astronomer takes you on an unforgettable
tour of the spectacular southern night sky. As you wind
down after a delicious dinner, you are offered a choice
of tea, coffee or port. In winter, guests gather around
a campfire to savour a special treat of hot mulled wine.
