Adventure Travel Tours

Adventure Travel Tours - Oz Outback Tour Specialists, provide 4 x 4 adventure tours of the “off the beaten track” outback areas of Australia.

The Australian outback puts on a great sunset, most every evening.

Adventure Travel Tours is run by Les Hayes of Bega, my home town. The other day we had a chat about four wheel drive adventure tours and Les told me with enthusiasm about the trips he runs to some of the great destinations of the mainland states.

The Oodnadatta Track. Marree, Ooddnadatta and Marla are along the famous Oodnaatta Track, one of the old droving tracks that opened up the north of Australia to the pastoral industry in the early times of white settlement.

Wilpena Pound. Wilpena Pound could be described as a huge bowl covering about 8,000 hectares. The floor is 200 metres above the surrounding country, outside of Wilpena Pound, and the rugged, mountainous walls are up to 1,100 metres above sea level. Fertile grazing and wheat country, Wilpena Pound was discovered by Edward John Ayer in 1839 as he explored the Flinders Ranges.

Gibb River Road. At 1,100km long, the Gibb River Road joins the isolated cattle stations of the Kimberly with the towns of Derby and Kununurra. Much of the trip along this dirt, bush track is gorge country with a rugged beauty of it’s own. The Gibb River Road traverses King Leopold Range, Philips Range, Barnett Range, Gibb Range, Mosquito Hills, Pentecost Range and Cockburn Range.

The Gibb River Road section of this outback adventure tour takes five days and includes bush camping, swimming, bushwalking and plenty of opportunities for stunning photography.

Les conducts his adventure travel tours using a comfortable, air conditioned, Toyota Land Cruiser troupe carrier. A well equipped trailer, as well as carrying the camping and other gear, has a full on camp kitchen, built in.

This is just a small sample of what Adventure Travel Tours - Oz Outback Tour Specialists offer in the tours section of their website.
