Your Australian Outback and Cultural
Experience.
This is a Special Tour, designed for discerning travelers who seek more adventure, privacy and a slower pace than is possible on Coach Tours. This is a combination tour with 3 to 4 participants in our Escort vehicle and other participants Taging Along in their own or a hired 4WD vehicle. Two to 3 Tag Along Vehicles maybe possible. To run this tour purely as a Tag Along Tour 5 vehicles will be required! This 4WD Camping Tour through remote
outback areas is lead by an experienced local Guide.
If you arrive a few days prior to the tours start you can check
out sophisticated Sydney before you join our team. After passing through the
magnificent Blue Mountains, wheat and sheep farming and historic mining towns
we reach the 600 million year old Flinders Ranges. Here we also visit an Aboriginal Community ( circumstances permitting) then on the Oodnadatta Track we follow the Old Ghan railway line and skirt the Simpson Desert as we drive through the real Outback and the Worlds largest Cattle Station ( the size of Belgium ). Marvel at Desert Landscapes, sleep underground in Coober Pedy, the worlds most productive Opal Field and drive through the Sand Dunes of this ancient land to spectacular Chambers Pillar. Next along an historic Stock Route to the Henbury Meteorite Craters and on to Ayers Rock, the Olgas and Kings Canyon. We walk and camp in Palm Valley with its unique flora. When we visit the old Hermannsburg Mission we learn about Albert Namatjira - Australia's best known Aboriginal Painter. Then you walk in a 143 mill. year old Comet Crater before driving through the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges to Alice Springs - this Oasis in the Red Centre. Along your journey you will see and come close to Australia's unique wildlife with many opportunities for photos and video filming. You too can be a participant on this adventurous
trip that will be guided by one of the most experienced Guide with more
than 30 years of experience in Australia's Outback and Deserts.
