| Details: | Day1: Cairns To Hughenden
Our road trip into the heart of the Australian desert begins early today. This morning travel through the Atherton Tablelands & continue westward through Eucalypt forest. Visit Australia's smallest bar before travelling unsealed roads, providing a great opportunity to spot our native wildlife. Our next stop is Porcupine Gorge, before arriving at Hughenden, where we enjoy a buffet dinner & air-conditioned multi-share accommodation.
Day 2: Hughenden To Boulia
A complete change of landscape this morning as we travel through the flat black soil plains. We make a stop at Winton, rich in Australian history. Carisbrook Station is our next destination where time is allowed to explore before a BBQ lunch. Continue to Middleton Pub – population 5. Continue on through Boulia to our overnight accommodation at Wirrelyerna Station, an authentic working sheep/cattle station – a fantastic experience!
Day 3: Boulia To Alice Springs
Our journey today is approximately 800klm, mostly unsealed roads, with no townships at all on the way. If you've never had a feeling of remoteness before, you will on this day! Pass through cattle stations, stopping at Tobermorey Station enroute. Skirt the top of the Simpson Desert before lunch at Jervois Station. Late afternoon arrive at Alice Springs, where it's time to farewell our new friends during our last dinner together.
