Australia Outback
It is vast. It is red, and it is welcoming and magical. From lush green waterholes to red deserts, sky and open spaces that seem to go on forever; the Australia Outback offers a new adventure at every turn. Lose yourself in the heart of Australia - when you are in the Outback, it becomes your story; your time and place.
  
Travel and Adventure
Choose from varied ways to journey into the Outback - 4WD adventures on some of the best desert tracks in the world, train rides across legendary pioneer routes, camel trekking, hiking, rock-climbing and hot air ballooning.
Luxury Camping
Lie back and have your stresses massaged away while surrounded by breathtaking ruggedness. From resort-style homesteads and stations to five-star camping, the Australia Outback is filled with top-notch luxury experiences.
'True-blue' Characters
Stop at a pub to refresh your senses with an ice-cold beer and discover what makes our outback characters tick. There is nothing that Aussies like more than to crack open a 'cold one' on a hot summer day.
Station Life
Try your hand at rounding up cattle, fixing fences, shearing sheep and cracking a bullwhip. Before bunkering down for the night, join in a campfire sing-along while sitting under the Southern Cross and the stillness of the night.
 
Outback Waterways
Australia, one of the driest continents on earth, is crisscrossed by vast webs of mostly dry rivers and waterways. These spring to life after a rain and become a haven for birds and wildlife.
Fact
The world's longest continuous fence, called the Dingo Fence, runs through central Queensland for 3,437 miles.

Outback Experiences
A journey into the Outback is a journey into our heart and soul. Brimming with quaint country towns, cattle and sheep stations, quirky mining communities, 'true-blue' characters and a 'roo or two, there is so much to see and do that it is hard to run out of inspiration and things to try.
Longreach, Queensland
Colorful characters, a proud history and a landscape of red hills, plains that stretch farther than you can see, and spectacular sunsets await you in Queensland's Outback. Step back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the land, then move forward to when Qantas carved its name in the history annals and the legend of the stockman began.
Coober Pedy, South Australia
Discover the underground city at the Opal Capital of the World and try your luck at finding a gem. At night, play golf on a grass-free course and experience the eerie stillness of the Breakaways and Moon Plain.
 
Bungle Bungles, Western Australia
Striped orange and black and looming up from the desert floor, the Bungle Bungles are a sight like no other. Discover how humbling, yet magnificent, our natural world is when you stand amidst the tall, domed sandstone rock formations rising 1,000 feet into the Australia Outback sky.
Katherine Gorge, Northern Territory
Katherine Gorge is comprised of 13 towering sandstone sections. Sleep under the stars near cascading waterfalls; canoe to explore the gorges and ancient Aboriginal art sites; cool off with a swim at Edith Falls.
Flinders Ranges, South Australia
A scenic 5-hour drive or 1-hour flight north of Adelaide, reveals the dramatic ridges and peaks surrounding Wilpena Pound in the heart of the Flinders Ranges National Park. Spend the morning bushwalking, and then, stop off at a friendly pub and taste-test some of the area's famous 'bush tucker' while swapping stories with the locals.
Mungo National Park, New South Wales
Explore the Walls of China, a 20 mile long crescent-shaped quartz sand dune speckled with saltbush. The Aboriginal people lived here perhaps as long ago as 60,000 years. Discover places where the rain and wind have uncovered fireplaces, hearths, artifacts and stone tools. |
