One of Australia's most remote outback routes - connecting 1/2 the country, crossing 2 states, NT to WA - from the Red Centre to the Indian Ocean - Alice Springs to Halls Creek and on to Broome.

Wolfe Creek Crater sunrise Tanami Mesas

NOTE - below describes Westbound journey. Eastbound is reverse departing Broome 1 pm, arrive Alice Springs by 4pm

Day 1 - Depart Alice Springs for Tanami Track at 1pm (we meet 1pm flight from Sydney or other ports). A three hour journey heads you toward some of the remotest country in Australia. Enjoy the rich collection of Aboriginal art available here at Tillmouth Wells - including from Mt Allan, Papunya, Yuendumu. Overnight Tillmouth Wells camp roadhouse & campground.

Day 2 - Visit the world famous Warlukurlangu artists at Yuendumu, and the Papunya Tula artists at Papunya. Meet the artists at work. You can buy their art directly from source. After a good connection with the locals, we "up the track" through this extraordinary and remote country - by the great Tanami and Granites gold mines, and old abandoned wells from gold rush & cattle droving days to Rabbit Flat Roadhouse to stock up on essentials then to our camp for overnight in the real nowhere.

Day 3 - Arrive at Balgo Art Centre  in the remote Balgo Community near Lake Gregory and meet the Warlayirti artists at work. Enjoy the warm local hospitality and the rich and unique Aboriginal art pieces on display - ready for you to purchase at best bargain rates direct from the source if you wish. Depart Balgo for nearby Billiluna Aboriginal community and cattle station for a look around then a short drive to the amazing Wolfe Creek Crater - the worlds second largest meteorite crater where the rainbow serpent entered the Earth. We can take a walk in the crater or enjoy the view from the crater rim. Overnight camp at majestic Wolfe Creek crater.

Giant Kimberley Boabs Cable Beach Broome

Day 4 - View the sunrise over Wolfe Creek Crater - or enjoy a sleep in - before we head for a brief stop at Halls Creek (more wonderful Aboriginal art) then Yiyili Community & the Laarri Aboriginal Art centre (beautiful colourful & contemporary artworks here - time permitting) at Louisa Downs station on to Fitzroy Crossing via spectacular McClintock & Mueller mountain ranges, and vast cattle stations (including SR Kidman & Co's "Ruby Plains") for overnight at Fitzroy Crossing.  

Day 5 - After breakfast enjoy a relaxing Geike Gorge river cruise on the vast Fitzroy River, and marvel at the high cliffs, annual flood records, stunning wildlife and river tales from our knowledgeable local guide. After a morning cuppa, and some comfortable highway cruising we enjoy lunch under one of the biggest boab trees in the Kimberley on the Savannah Way. On through stunning mesa landscape and rich grasslands we arrive in Broome for sunset celebration at Cable Beach and an optional swim in the Indian Ocean watching the sunset.

Day 6 - Breakfast at Cable BeachTour ends 9am after breakfast, in time for connecting flights or try the highly recommended Horizontal Waterfalls flight & jet boat experience or a Pearl Farm or Crocodile Farm visit, or day trip to Cape Leveque.
