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.
