Explore the Central Australian Icons including a "Sand Driving Masterclass" on Big Red, while circumnavigating the Simpson Desert on this action-packed 12 day trek with your experienced guide/instructor and the company of like-minded travellers.
We've taken away the hassle and uncertainty of organising a trip like this and the risk of doing it alone. Your guide is experienced in leading remote tours and a qualified four wheel driving instructor, so even if you're not experienced in Outback travel, you will be coached along the way. You will come away from a trip like this with 4WD skills to last you a lifetime.
Starting with the first night in a cabin at Windorah QLD, at the edge of the sealed roads, we take you to the most iconic Outback town, Birdsville, and the most notorious sand dune in the country, Big Red, for a "Sand Driving Master Class". After two nights in Birdsville, we travel North through the wide expanse of the Outback and towns rich in history, then cross into the NT on the Plenty Highway. We pass through the East MacDonald Ranges before a stop-over in Alice Springs for a night to refuel and restock.
A night camped at the geographical centre of Australia is followed by more remote travel to the Western edge of the Simpson Desert and the icons of Mt Dare, Dalhousie Springs, Oodnadatta, William Creek (there's an option of a scenic flight over Lake Eyre from William Creek), and Marree where we join the Birdsville Track.
Staying at the Mungeranie pub, we continue on the Birdsville Track before taking the sweeping sandy track of Walkers Crossing to Innamincka. The next day we visit the The Dig Tree to relive its tragic story and then continue East to end our journey with an included motel room and restaurant dinner at Thargomindah.
