The
Tour Difference
This operator proudly
states Ossies unique Philosophy, which started in 1993
& evolved for the next 10 years as we took travellers
on Horseback through bushland surrounding Alice Springs.
Harry, a Bushman, developed his guiding skills from
Horsemanship, as he lead Horse Tours for more than 20,000km's.
During this period he developed an appreciation for
Explorers John McDouall Stuart;Ernest Giles & John Ross
from the Overland Telegraph Line,as like them,he too
rode in Central Australia.
No more Horses!
Now Luxury Toyota Landcruiser adapted to remote area
Touring. Carrying a maximum of 6 people to places not
journeyed to by other Tour Operators. We are the only
Alice Springs Tour Operator to go through the Finke
Gorge National Parks' "Boggy Hole" on a regular basis,
enroute to the icons of Kings Canyon & Ayers Rock.
