Outback Holidays

From red deserts to lush green waterholes, open spaces and sky that goes on forever, Australia’s outback is awe-inspiring. Brimming with colourful characters, quaint country towns, quirky mining communities, cattle and sheep stations, Aboriginal culture and a kangaroo or two, a journey into the outback is a journey into the Australian heart and soul.

You don’t have to venture far before discovering the outback. Watch the sunset over the iconic pinnacle of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and discover one of the oldest landscapes in the world, deeply rooted in Aboriginal ‘Dreamtime’. And don’t forget to visit the massive ochre domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the majestic Kings Canyon. Take a scenic flight and gaze in wonder as the monumental splendour of the rock basin of Wilpena Pound rolls out beneath you. Explore the legendary waterholes of the Flinders Ranges and then if you feel a bit peckish, head towards a friendly pub and taste some of the area’s famous ‘bush-tucker’ while sharing a yarn or two with the locals. Join a campfire and hear the poetry of the outback people in the rugged Kimberleys, one of the world’s last true wilderness areas.

Discover the outback on a self drive, on a small group guided tour or camp under the starry outback skies. Go rock-climbing, camel trekking, hot air ballooning or take a legendary train ride across legendary pioneer routes. Or surround yourself with breathtaking ruggedness and experience the outback in luxury, from five star camping to resort style homesteads and stations that offer indulgent spa treatments and gourmet food, the outback is filled with top-notch experiences!
