FLEXIBLE ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as road conditions, weather, local restrictions and group input may vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the help of your tour leader and fellow trekkers you may modify certain nightstops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

• Days: 1 Alice Springs & Kings Canyon

Join us and our indigenous guides on an extended aboriginal cultural day. Some of the teaching is indoors under the air conditioning and then we go "walkabout" looking for traditional foods and medicines in the bush. You will come away with a different view of the traditional owners of this vast land down under. We hit the track south to Kings Canyon and marvel at the sheer canyon walls.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 2 Kings Canyon & Ayers Rock

An early morning start to beat the heat as we hike the rim trail, visit the Lost City and Garden of Eden before heading back to the station for a well earned ice-cream. We arrive mid afternoon into Uluru (Ayers Rock) so that we have plenty of time to get those spectacular sunset photos of one of the world's greatest monoliths.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 3 Ayers Rock

Another early start tomorrow as we take up the challenge and hike around the base of this ancestral rock, whilst learning some of the Tjukurpa (Aboriginal Creation or Dreaming law) of the area.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 4 Coober Pedy

The journey continues southward bound to the Martian landscape of Coober Pedy where we take you on an underground opal mine tour - a great opportunity to purchase opals from the miners themselves. Tonight we all sleep underground in a "dugout" bunkroom after a night out with the locals.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 5-7 Port Augusta & Adelaide

At last we get to see the sea again. Hey, what is a visit to Australia without at least one winery tour in the famous Barossa Valley? Spend time riding the tram and the waves in the southern capital of Adelaide.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 8-9 Grampians National Park

Keep some energy in reserve as the rugged peaks and hikes of the Grampians National Park await you. Here we will hike the ancient volcanic trails, photograph the lakes, waterfalls, gorges and kangaroos.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 10-12 Great Ocean Road & Melbourne

More photos and maybe a helicopter flight over the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road, one of the most scenic stretches of coastal road in the world, before spotting some koalas in the wild. Check out the surfing town of Torquay before arriving in the cosmopolitan capital of Melbourne. Wow, this could be a town in Europe, excellent bars and restaurants, great beaches, trams, nightlife and even a Neighbours Tour. How much more can one city offer?
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Days: 13-15 Merimbula, Blue Mountains & Sydney

We still have time on our last days for a swim whilst travelling past some of the stunning golden beaches of the south coast of New South Wales. Our last day finds us in the majestic Blue Mountains, hiking the valley trails and riding the world's steepest railway. Arrive in Sydney to contemplate the ever changing landscape that you have travelled through on your amazing summer journey.
Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

Tour ends at approx 18:00 hrs in Sydney on day 15.
