General
information on all tours
|
|
|
The supplier is an Australian owned and operated 4WD safari
tour company established in 1985 and accredited by the Tourism
Council of Australia. Let us share with you the relatively unexplored,
rugged beauty of the West Coast, the Kimberley and Kakadu -
are you up to the challenge? If you are reasonably fit, enjoy
camping, (sometimes in remote locations without facilities)
and are willing to assist in camp duties including cooking,
washing up and collecting firewood etc then our tours are for
you! |
|
VEHICLES:
Unlike some of our competitors... all are purpose built real
4WD vehicles (not coaster buses or landcruisers with side
facing seats). Our vehicles are all fitted with forward facing
coach seats, windows that open and air conditioning for when
the going gets hot! They are also equipped with a built in
kitchen, storage space, water tank, Royal Flying Doctors radio,
tool kits and spares, (without the need to tow a trailer,
which limits 4WD ability). Travel in a small group ( average
10-12).
Please
note that even with the best vehicles and equipment when travelling
over such isolated and rough roads unforseen circumstances
can affect a tour. The itinerary may need to be modified or
the vehicle repaired, to ensure the continuation of the tour.

| TOUR
GUIDES: Our guides have been carefully selected and trained
to handle all aspects of outback touring. Each guide is experienced
in customer care, first aid, 4WD driving, mechanical repairs
and has expert knowledge of flora, fauna, history, culture and
bushcraft. They are great cooks too! |
| A
GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP: You haven't discovered the real outback
unless you have slept out under the night sky, somewhere a long
way from town, where the air is clear and the stars are brighter.
Forget the air mattress that goes flat in the middle of the
night or trying to hammer tent pegs into the stony ground, you
will be sleeping in comfortable swags with foam mattresses and
pillows. In the morning the swag is simply rolled up with pillow
and sleeping bag inside. Mosquito nets are also supplied. (Some
tents also available.) BYO sleeping bag or request on booking!
|
