Perth. Then of course we travel the longest stock route in the world,
the Canning Stock Route, the Last Frontier, a real experience.
Often we return from the West, crossing the
Nullarbor. Another great experience. We leave Perth, going south to
Margaret River, Bunbury, Albany, Stirling Ranges, Esperance, Cape Le
Grand, Cape Arid Nat. Park, then heading north, cross the Eyre Highway
at Balladonia and continue north to the Transcontinental Railway Line (
Indian Pacific ). We follow the railway line for a day or two then
after returning to the Eyre Highway we drive to the Head of the Bight,
and during the season and if lucky we can watch the Southern Right
Whale. We leave the Highway to camp at Streaky Bay and to observe Sea
Lions at Point Labatt.
Our Adventure Tours and Outback Safaris are
usualy limited to only four participants, occasionally 13. Only as
member of a small group can one experience the beauty of many of the
remote areas of this vast continent. We take you to all the places
you find promoted in the glossy brochures of the large tour operators,
but we also take you to many places, others that cater for Mass Tourism
don't show you. What's more, we don't rush you. You'll find that most
of our tours on average take longer than other tours on offer, why?
We go Off the Beaten Track, we
want you to relax and fully experience our country, we don't just give
you 20 minutes, half an hour or an hour at places of interest and then
herd you back into the bus.
What we don't give you is dinner tables with
white table cloth, silver spoons, fine china and Champaign, and yes, we
do ask you to wash your own plate, cup and cutlery. We also
appreciate your help with the collection of fire wood etc..
If you want the luxuries of a four star resort
then you are better advised to take a tour with the big operators. We
specialize in providing you with experiences rather than superfluous
luxuries so that we can keep our tours affordable.
However, we always supply three meals every day
(with very few exceptions) and we do enjoy a drink with dinner and a
glass of Champaign while the sun sets on Ayers Rock.

Outback Travel:
The track conditions in the Outback change
frequently. This is part of the beauty of that type of Adventure Tours
and adds to the thrill and challenges.
I just recently returned from two Simpson Desert
Crossings and can again say that no two of these tours are the same. We
had an exceptional amount of rainfall late for that region, followed by
several storms with more heavy rain. I had never
before seen so many wild flowers in the Simpson, that late in
the season. On one occasion we were very lucky to leave Dalhousie
Springs on the morning we did. Had we delayed our departure by one
day we would have been stranded there for three days with the other
39 vehicles. On the next tour a similar number of vehicles had to
sit it out at Mungeranie along the Birdsville Track.
The moral of this story?
Allow at
least one day, better still two days at the end of such tours. That way
you are less likely to miss your flight out of Alice Springs, Adelaide
or wherever should there be a delay in reaching our
destination. With Outback Travel an exact arrival date can never
be guaranteed!
For our Canning Stock Route 4WD Tag Along Tours we request that you
express your interest very early.
Our general terms and conditions apply to all bookings from these web pages.
Outback Touren:
Die Pisten im Outback und in den Wüsten
ändern sich dauernt. Das ist was diese Reisen aufregent und
abenteuerlich macht.
Vor Kurzem kam ich von zwei Simpson Desert Touren
zurück und kann nur wiederholen daß keine zwei dieser Touren
gleich sind. Nach spätem Regen in dieser Gegend, gefolgt by
einigen Gewittern mit mehr Regen gab es da viele Überschwemmungen
und die Wüste war sehr grün. Niehmals zuvor habe ich um
diese Jahreszeit so viele Wildblumen im Simpson Desert gesehen.
Auf einer dieser Reisen hatten wir Glück mit
unserer Abfahrt von den Dalhausie Quellen. Wären wir einen Tag
später abgefahren dann hätten wir wegen des Regens da
für drei Tage mit 39 anderen Fahrzeugen warten müssen.
Auf der nächsten Reise hatten wir wieder
Glück. Am Morgen unserer geplanten Abfahrt von Birdsville wurde
der Birdville Track wieder für den Verkehr geöffnet.
Ungefähr 30 Fahrzuege wurden aber für drei Tage in Mungeranie
am Birdsville Track aufgehalten.
Weshalb schreibe ich diese
Geschichte?
Ich will Ihnen damit erklären daß man mit
Outback Touren niehmals einen genauen Ankunfts Tag garrantieren
kann. Man soll mindestens einen, besser zwei Tage extra für
das Ziel der Reise einplanen.
