Did you know there's a word to describe the smell of rain? 'Petrichor' is the pleasant scent that frequently accompanies the first rain on soil after a period of warm dry weather. Earths perfume! 🍃

Great shot from Alix on our Adelaide to Alice Springs/Uluru tour! after travelling quite a bit around Australia, Alix says Uluru has definitely been the biggest highlight of her journey 😍

We'd love to hear it, it's still a vibrant, beautiful place and you should still take the time to visit in 2020. 👏 👏

Lorne is a breathtaking seaside town often referred by as the ‘Mediterranean of Victoria’. With exquisite cerulean waters, tree lined hilly streets and laid back locals, it’s no surprise the town’s a hit during high season.....check out this sea view as we head toward the town.

Coober Pedy has attracted a number of movie producers due to its photogenic desert landscape. Some scenes filmed in the area include The Adventures of Priscilla - Queen of the Desert, Pitch Black starring Vin Diesel, and in development for 2021, Mortal Kombat.
You can find the Pitch Black spaceship parked (or crash landed) just off Coober Pedy’s main shopping strip, cool right?
Despite their fierce appearance...Thorny Devils are one of the most harmless lizards and prefer to evade predation through camouflage and illusion.
If you manage to spot one on your outback journey... count yourself lucky! their colourings and small size make them quite difficult to tell apart from the shrubs they like to hide in
Groovy’s coming for you Coober Pedy 🦅

“So this was a pretty cool experience yesterday at on . This little seal pup came to say hello! As this is a protected area, the conservation park staff are awesome and make sure no human interaction occurs with the seals. We had to stay very still so the pup learns that humans aren’t fun. Very lucky!”

The stars in the Outback are incredibly bright compared to the big cities and even better to slumber under. However, we know that dorm share and swag camping isn't for everybody which is why we have upgrade accomodation available should you require it on all multi-day tours. For more information on accomodation and availabilty, call us on 1800 059 490 or send our reservations team an email 😊 #outbackaustralia #uluru

Nothing beats jumping into fresh, crystal clear waters on a hot summers day. The south coast of Kangarooo Island is perfect for jetty jumping and snorkelling among the rocky reefs.
