The Sounds of Silence is a unique dining experience beneath the stars.
Your journey begins on a lone sand dune. A meandering path takes you to an uninterrupted, 360 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 canapés whilst a local didgeridoo player explains and performs this traditional aboriginal instrument.
Then as darkness spreads across the sky and the stars begin to shine take your seats for 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 the 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 savor a special treat of hot mulled wine.
