Please selct your tour and then ask us for
additional details and an Itinerary.
There will generally be 2 - 4 days between the end of one tour and the start of the next tour.
For passengers who take consecutive tours we also provide the accommodation for one of the rest days if so desired.
We don't include accommodation for all rest days as we feel that many participants will most likely want to take part in various locally offered activities and excursions.
For our passengers we also include between 2 and 3 nights accommodation during the tour.
On most tours we tow a trailer for camping equipment, luggage and supplies.
However luggage should be kept to a minimum as there will be some tours and sections of others where we won't be able to tow a trailer.
Passenger prices are all inclusive and all camping equipment is supplied.
Most meals are also supplied with just a few exceptions as indicated in the itineraries.
Notes for Tag Along Participants:
Tag Along prices are self catering.
Nat. Park Fees are included in the price for all participants.
Rest days ( days between sections ) are the responsibility of the participants.
Indenting Tag Along participants please read our general Tag Along Info:
http://www.redcentre.com.au/4X4/TagAlongFAQ.htm
and have the time to participate on consecutive tours.
Participants who wish to take consecutive tours with a total of 31 tour days or more ( not including Rest days )will benefit from a discount. Please ask us for details.
The above tour schedule maybe reviewed to accommodate private and custom tours and may then be adjusted accordingly.
However once we have taken deposits from participants on those tours then any change to the dates will only be possible with their consent.
Once the schedule is confirmed we will ask all applicants who have not already made a deposit to do so then.
Tours can only be considered booked once we received the tour deposits.
The prices for those tours are still under consideration and it is not expected that they will increase much above our 2007 prices. Please ask us for current prices once you have selected a tour.
Remember, you will be on an Adventure Tour, not a Resort Holiday!
There will be experiences rather than sight seeing.
I'll then get itineraries and price details to you.
When contacting us please give us as much information as possible ( Tour/tours interested in, number of people, your preferred tour dates and if Tag Along vehicle participant or passenger, your ages, any disabilities or medical conditions. If Tag Along participant also the Make & Model of your car or if a rented car is required ).
Take care "Out There", Mike
