Is this trip right for you?
-
This trip is designed to appeal to travellers who want to see the most without spending the most. Food is basic but plentiful and all meals are participatory, meaning everyone pitches in to help prepare, cook, and clean up after meals. Accommodation is in campsites and multishare dorms and you’ll have your very own swag (a sheltered bedroll) for a comfortable sleep in the great outdoors.
-
The best was to discover the beauty of the Outback is on foot. This tour packs a lot of walking into three days, so please read the itinerary carefully for walking time estimates.
