How
Outback Travel Australia
staff can help


Australia is home to numerous spectacular and interesting locations; many of them are in remote areas of The Outback.

There are many ways to get there, including joining a tag-along tour, 4WD bus tour, fly/drive tour. While all have their benefits, one of the downsides is that they all travel to a timetable.

Getting there in your own vehicle is another alternative: in our opinion the most rewarding.  Where and when to go, what to see and how long to stay in each place are choices you can make and change as necessary. 

Planning a self-drive trip into the Australian Outback requires many hours of research and preparation if it is to be a safe and memorable holiday.

Planning a trip of this type from start to finish is a huge task and for many would-be travellers it can be so overwhelming that they never get past thinking about it.

That’s easy to understand if you take a look at just a few things that need to be considered

  • Where to go
  • Is the vehicle capable
  • Does the vehicle require modifications
  • When is the best time to travel
  • How much time is needed
  • How much fuel will the vehicle use
  • Where can fuel, water and food supplies be topped up
  • What equipment should be packed
  • Will a camper-trailer make the trip
  • Can a vehicle be hired to do the trip

However, don’t let this put you off going on an Outback trip.

As experienced outback and remote area travellers, OUTBACK TRAVEL AUSTRALIA staff can do all the pre-planning work and tailor a trip to suit your expectations, vehicle capability, experience, interests and time constraints.

We can provide all the information you'll need, including maps, packing lists, menu suggestions and advice.

For the traveller who is prepared to rough it temporarily; swap bricks and mortar for a canvas shelter, a camp chair in place of a comfy lounge chair, a sponge wash when there isn’t a shower available and chatter and laughter around a camp-fire instead of television talk, the reward awaits you.

Please be aware, luxury accommodation is scarce out there, so if you’re strictly a five star traveller, touring the Outback by 4WD, camping along the way, probably isn’t for you.
