The Strezelecki Track & Flinders Ranges:

Tour Dates | Inclusions | Cost | Itinerary

Although most Australians live on the coastal fringe, it is this land far beyond the mountains - the Outback - that evokes images of the real Australia: a sunburnt country, a land of endless horizons and fiery sunsets, or even splintery jagged peaks and ranges rising starkly out of flat semi-arid desert country. This tour will provide a variety of natural experiences - from the grandeur of Nature in the Flinders Ranges, to the vast red soil plains of Outback New South Wales and South Australia. Our journey takes us on a leisurely tour through the ancient landscape of desert areas of Outback NSW and SA, as well as the stunning wilderness of the Flinders Ranges - country most people rarely get the opportunity to experience in one visit.
