    Accommodation

    Fully accommodated tour staying in motels with private facilities and in basic cabins with shared facilities. All meals included from dinner on the first evening to lunch on the last day.

    Climate

    This fast-paced trip is not for the faint-hearted, with lots of walking in sometimes difficult terrain, early departures and late finishes each day, while covering around 3000 km in 6 days. We may encounter harsh outback conditions such as extreme heat, frosty mornings, torrential rain or dust-storms. During the June tour the weather is likely to be calm with daytime temperatures ranging between 15-25C.
