Meet your Tjarnintja guide for a one hour tour of Simpsons Gap, a spiritually significant site for Arrernte people. With ancient stories of Creation Ancestors and Elders, over 40 rare plants and a sanctuary for native wildlife, connect your senses to Arrernte language and perspectives on a short walk into Simpsons Gap, the gateway to Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park.

Olive Pink Botanic Garden Tour

Join Tjarnintja's William Palmer for a one hour guided tour of the Olive Pink Botanic Garden in the heart of Alice Springs. An epicentre of flora and fauna, Olive Pink is home to over 600 native Central Australian plant species, more than 89 species of birds and an array of reptiles and wallabies. Not only will this be a tour that celebrates Central Australia's native plants and animals, but a deeper understanding from an Arrernte way of seeing Country. Learn the language names, traditional uses, seasonal changes, Creation stories and spiritual connections that brings a whole new meaning to what you can find at the Olive Pink Botanic Garden.
