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 world’s 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.
