I consider the red centre a must.
our sunrise hike around Ayers Rock, hiking amongst the olgas was great, almost spiritual.
don't miss Kings Canyon, our hike there was one of our favorites anywhere. Stayed one night at a resort near the Canyon.
It's my personal opinion, but I recommend staying at Ayers Rock vrs. Alice Springs. There are some very reasonable accomodations.
We also did a sunrise balloon ride. WOW! floating only 100' above the outback watching camels and kangaroos. Very neat.
edited to add, we did a camel ride in Alice Springs along the main river which is dry most times. It was only a couple hours long, which was enough and fun. If I had the time I would do a camping trip w/camels in the outback. Stayed one night in Alice Springs.
