Remote Queensland & Beyond Tour
18 day tour departing Sydney July 2012 and returning to Sydney
$6,350 (twin share) - $7,500 (single supplement)
Up through the Warrumbungles, out to the far west of Queensland, through the remote north of South Australia, and eventually back into NSW via Broken Hill. This tour includes 2 night stops in places as spectacularly beautiful as Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland, at Mungeranie in the Tirari Desert on the Birdsville Track, and at Arkaroola in the Flinders Ranges. Our route crosses Cooper's Creek at Windorah; we visit the Stockman's Hall of Fame in Longreach. Then we spend a day in Winton at a Bush race meeting. We travel across those vast Mitchell Grass Plains of Western Queensland - down through Boulia, Bedourie and Birdsville. The Birdsville Track is our route down to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. This is the best that Australia has to offer if you are looking for travel to really remote places.

About the Journey
The intent in the planning of this route is to provide the contrasting landscapes of some of the most remote parts of Queensland and South Australia. From the palm forests at Carnarvon Gorge, to the floodplains of Cooper’s Creek. From the vast Mitchell Grass plains of the Channel Country to the barren and spectacularly colourful gibber plains of the Tirari Desert. From a desert highway the Birdsville Track, to the Barrier Highway across New South Wales. Some of the most spectacular scenery that Queensland has to offer, thereafter into that magnificent northern end of the Flinders Ranges where the Arkaroola Wilderness Resort nestles in its own valley. But most of all maybe the vast horizons of the West will leave those who travel this route with a new sense of the meaning of those wonderful words ‘Open Space’.
