Journey to the heart of Central Australia. Incentive travel to Uluru by dmc Australia

The below incentive experiences are the story of UNIQ and my journey to the heart of Central Australia with one of our fantastic incentive groups and what we learned about the region. A combination of raw excitement and practical, reliable delivery. It's all here in Australia.

Treasures like Uluru made the perfect centre for a dreamtime incentive and Aboriginal culture made this Australian trip truly memorable for everyone.

At sunset incentive group rode high above the desert surrounds and explored the central Australian region just as the early pioneers did - on a a camel. With stunning views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, the incentive group watched the colours change as the sun set from atop a sand dune.

 After lunch we joined Aboriginal artist and learned about the different symbols illustrating Creation Time stories and made our own dot artworks. This was a fun introduction to Western Indigenous Art.

After exciting day full of activities we enjoyed a tantalising menu of international flavours at Ilkari Restaurant and had a very comfortable five star sleep in newly refurbished rooms at the Sails in the Desert Hotel. At this premium hotel incentive group got to experience modern minimalism adorned with a subtle desert pattern and elements of Indigenous art and tradition.

The next day incentive group and UNIQ Tour Leader start trek around the base trail of Uluru. We all embraced the culture, geology and environment that is the essence of this amazing monolith. Our guide took us to the waterholes, showed the rock art sites and told about Uluru's cultural significance to the local Aboriginal people.

Best place in the world to relax, swim, bushwalk, and learn about indigenous Australia

This month we ventured the far North West of Australia in search of the best incentive travel experiences for our clients. We were not disappointed.

 

We love being spoilt but spoiling incentive groups is even more enjoyable. That's why we're always in search of new, undiscovered gems not many have seen. And we definitely found what we were looking for in the North West corner of Australia.

Journey through some of the world’s most amazing untouched wilderness area, gave us a real Australian outback experience.  

We started our journey at the Broome airport where we boarded a small Cessna for the picturesque flight to Eco Beach.

Weather was beautiful. As it is most of the year. May to October is classed as the 'dry season'. While the southern part of Australia is chilly, here the days are generally fine with temperatures between mid 20 to low 30. Humidity levels are low and the skies are a deep blue that stretches out for miles, with hardly a cloud in the sky. 

Eco Beach is a multi award-winning eco resort set amongst the pristine and untouched Kimberley environment. Our favourite form of  accommodation were very spacious Eco Villas. Thie Eco resort truly provides guests with an unforgettable and unique wilderness experience whilst having minimal impact on the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of the retreat lies Jack's Bar and Grill, an open air bar and restaurant with some of the finest coastal views you are likely to see on the west coast of Australia. In the evening we chose to dine on the terrace and had an opportunity to enjoy a cold mango beer, beautiful white wine and tropical barramundi salad served with roasted peanuts, mango and pawpaw.






Next to Jack's lies the pool deck with an alluring infinity pool surrounded by huge Balinese day beds and oversized loungers. Perfect setting for an evening cocktail or two?

 Next day, aboard a 4WD we drove along the beach to the best fishing spot. For those not keen on the activity a chilled champagne, walk on the beach and stunning sunset were served.

 Next day we were exploring the area and bushwalking with the local guide. Great way to learn about Aboriginal culture and customs of the indigenous people.

After three days of pure luxury, eco style it was time to get back to Broome where our adventure continued

The anticipation of a well designed, experience based incentive itinerary motivates and drives behaviour like no other. Australia  is world renowned as a magical, exotic and desirable destination and nowhere else the active adventure will inspire the team as much as here.

Cage Diving with Great White Sharks  South Australia, Australia South Australia is the only place in Australia where incentive groups can see these endangered species at close quarters in their natural environment. Indeed it was here where Stephen Spielberg filmed the underwater scenes for the movie ‘Jaws’. Take a day on the water to see some spectacular scenery, dolphins and seabirds along the way. When the Sharks arrive, take a splash and get into the cage and stand almost nose-to-conical nose with a 4.5m great white shark.

Camel Riding on a soft white sand Western Australia, Australia Take a camel ride on board Broome’s longest and most photographed camel train. Enjoy an early morning or sunset ride along magnificent Cable Beach. A 22km stretch of soft white sand and warm turquoise waters is ranked among the world’s top beaches.
