Desert Venturer pioneers its way through far fl ung desert expanses and over rugged outback terrain encountering along the way authentic Aussie pubs, working cattle properties, endless geographical wonders and some unforgettable outback characters.

Our friendly drivers know their territory well and they will give you a true insight into outback Australia.

What's Included

• Accommodation for 2 nights in air conditioned multi-share rooms.
• 7 meals (2 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners)

Please Note

Desert Venturer differs from other Traveller tours in that you are visiting the remote areas of Australia, places which have their own character and charm, but not necessarily the modern facilities of larger cities. Accommodation is air conditioned multi-share with shared facilities, and some group involvement in food preparation will be required. Full bedding is provided, however you will need to bring with you a towel, walking shoes, sunscreen, torch, and if possible a fly veil.
