An Outback Adventure commencing with viewing the eastern alignment of the ancient geological beauty of the Flinders Rangers.

Then continuing North on the notoriously historic Strzelecki Track and the path of the cattle duffer Redford.

As we travel north we take comfort at the remove oasis of Innamincka.  Camping on the banks of the famous Cooper Creek.  Absorb the history of the aboriginals, the tragedy of Burke and Wills, and the harshness experienced by the explorers and first settlers.

Heading North West we camp on the Cordillo Downs Plains.

Then Birdsville heralds the start of our southbound journey on the “inside track” of the cattle route most memorably used by the drovers in the “2002 Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive” where 600 head of cattle were droved to Marree.

South to Mungerannie wetlands which include a hot artesian spa where you can see the diverse flora and fauna attracted by the permanent water.

We travel to the final night at the historic shearers’ quarters at Beltana Station in the Flinders Rangers.

The vastness of this changing country, the closeness and clarify of the stars, the memories of the life and spirituality of the indigenous people and the experiences of the explorers will make this journey unforgettable.
