From June to mid September is the best time for our 4WD Tag Along Tours.
I'll keep this time open until September 2008 for Tag Along Tours

.

* East-West Crossing, East Coast to West Coast to Perth. 34 days.
* Kimberley, Darwin to Perth or Perth to Darwin. 33 days.
* Canning Stock Route. 24 or 28 days.
Some Passenger seats in our Escort vehicle are also available on those tours.

With the exception of the Kimberley Tour I need a minimum of 5 participating vehicles.
For those Tag Along Tours I need expressions of interest no later than September 2008 for several reasons:
a) I need to plan other tours "around" them.
b) They require much preparation.
c) To enable our overseas participants to hire very scarce fully fitted out 4WD vehicles.

If interested in any of those tours then please contact us as early as possible.
Contact us here for any of those Tag Along Tours.

Booking Information
Applications for all 2009 tours can be taken from Feb. 15th 2008.
The above tour schedule will be frequently reviewed and maybe updates as required.

However once we have taken deposits from any participants on our tours then any change to the dates will only be possible with their consent.

The prices for our tours are still under consideration and it is not expected that they will increase above our 2008 prices by more than fuel price increases and other major cost increases.
Please ask us for current prices once you have selected a tour. 
For reservations 12 months or more in advance our current prices are guaranteed. 

To reserve your seat(s) and to confirm your booking we will be asking you for a Deposit.

I must point out that as with all remote area travel we are always at the mercy of the elements and changes to itineraries, routes and destinations along our routes maybe necessary at short notice. There will also be nights when we bushcamp where at times no facilities are available.
Remember, you will be on an Adventure Tour, not a Resort Holiday!
There will be experiences rather than sight seeing.

Anybody seriously interested in any of the above tours should contact us as early as possible as participant numbers are strictly limited.
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, if as Tag Along vehicle or passenger, your ages, any disabilities or medical conditions and preferred tour dates. If Tag  Along participants then please also  Make & Model of car or if a rented car is required.
