Kalgoorlie, 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 limited
to nine 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!
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.
