ADELAIDE
- BROKEN HILL - OUTBACK SHEEP STATION - WHITE CLIFFS |
  |
| Depart Adelaide with REX Airlines for Broken Hill. After meet and greet at the Broken Hill airport we leave Broken Hill and travel north for 120 kilometres to a working “outback” sheep station. This family owned property is unique as it incorporates a privately imposed and now registered natural sanctuary for fauna and flora as well as an abundance of Aboriginal rock art. Your guide will show you some wonderful things, including plenty of wildlife like big red kangaroos, emus, eagles and much more. We then look for a nice place to have lunch, before we continue our journey on remote station roads, through ever changing countryside, to the remote White Cliffs Opal Field. Dinner and accommodation will be in the famous underground Motel - a very unique experience! | ||

WHITE
CLIFFS – BROKEN HILL |
 |
| We will spend the morning inspecting this extraordinary outback settlement. Learn how and why the community lives underground. Visit some underground galleries and perhaps purchase one of the magnificent local opal products. Before lunch we'll see the 'Old Field' where in search for “colour” over 50,000 holes have been dug since the 1890's. Return to Broken Hill for dinner and a well deserved good nights rest. | ||

BROKEN
HILL – KINCHEGA NATIONAL PARK – MENINDEE |
|
| Leaving Broken Hill behind we travel to the Kinchega National Park with its spectacular Menindee Lakes. The surface area of these lakes is seven times greater than that of Sydney Harbour! Taking the ‘scenic drive’, we follow the mighty Darling river where native bird and animal life abound among the enormous river red gums. After lunch we visit the small outback township of Menindee, the last stop for Burke and Wills (early explorers) on their fateful journey into the unknown. We stay on in Menindee tonight to enjoy the peace and serenity of the outback. | ||
SUN |
MENINDEE – MUNGO NATIONAL PARK – MILDURA |
|
| After a wholesome breakfast we make our way to the Mungo National Park via Pooncarie, another old river port town along the Darling River. Continuing our journey toward the World Heritage Area of the ancient Willandra Lakes, we arrive at Mungo National Park with its amazing "Walls of China" and spectacular wildlife. This almost lunar like landscape will inspire the photographer and enchant the nature lover. In the afternoon we drive to Mildura for dinner and overnight. | ||
| MON | MILDURA – SYDNEY | |
