As Australia celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Uluru Handback, host Belle Jackson shares how you can take a bite of the red dust on a drive holiday around the Red Centre Way

From Alice Springs/Alice Springs to Watarrka/Kings Canyon and Uluru, here's your list of where to stay, what to eat and some of the best things to do on a roadtrip in the Northern Territory.

Also, the world's best hotels are recognised in the new Michelin Key hotels guide; Australia's Lizard Island is the only  the three-key hotel, with Longtitude 131 near Uluru, Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island and Drift House in Port Fairy, Victoria. For the full list

And dogs on planes - are you on board? Virgin Australia has launched its new trial, as well as more generous carry-on limits.
