Remote Desert Treks & Expeditions/Ecotourism

We believe that packcamels are still the best way to explore Australia's great deserts with the smallest environmental padprint possible. Our trips begin where the roads stop - in fact if ever contemporary walking treks were described as 'off the beaten track' these would be it - there are no tracks or roads where we go and in most cases we are blazing a new path across the red dunes, inland river systems, gibber flats and claypans.

This was Rachel’s second trek with us and she certainly loved the ‘no humbug’ desert life compared to her normal ‘office.’

Poking along….

Happy Birthday Wilko!

Time for Adventure.

For the second consecutive year the eastern Simpson will be flooded, and whilst that Is great news for the desert environment, it makes our job rather difficult, as we can’t walk through floodwaters and our complex desert logistics require tracks to be open. And we have to plan months in advance, so we can’t take the risk of getting up there, then being stranded. 🐪 So we are relocating! To the Sturt Stony Desert and Strzelecki Desert in South Australia. 🐪 Bookings are now open for the new schedule! 👣🐪
