Aussie Interior



This is a small group adventure trip for ADULTS only where you will join other travellers from around the world. This is not a coach/hotel tour and tailor-made itineraries or car hire are NOT available. Trip is exclusively operated by OzXposure.

Northern & Central Australia in its splendor. You will travel through the open Savanna Country, soak in outback Hot Springs, then explore the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park. Time out in Darwin, before learning the aboriginal ancient ways and cultures. Experience Alice Springs, hike Kings Canyon then take our challenge at Ayers Rock.

Our Travel Style:
You will be joining a small group of other like-minded international travelers. Our small group sizes really let you get off the beaten path and escape the crowds. With no more than 14 people on tour you’ll enjoy all the flexibility of traveling with a small group of adventurous, like minded individuals. With our flexible night stops we can alter our itinerary to take in more of what you want to see. Only possible with a small group of adventurous people from all over the world.

Our tours are designed for adults (18+). However, due to the nature of these tours, they tend to incorporate activities and nightlife that appeal to the young and young at heart. And don't worry about coming by yourself, you'll quickly make friends with other people who are as keen to see and experience Australia and New Zealand as you are.

Accommodation: Camping
Never Camped Before?... No worries. We supply everything needed for an easy camping experience. We use large 4 man tents on most of our tours with only 2 people to a tent so there’s loads of room. On some of our more remote tours we stay in permanent camps with comfortable hard top tents or in traditional Aussie Swags for a true outdoors experience.

We supply eskys (coolers), gas lights, stoves, tables and chairs, even plates, knives, forks and all other camp accessories.

Flexible Itineraries:
The itinerary shown is intended as a guide only indicating a typical itinerary & series of activities. While our intention is to adhere to the published day by day route, the itinerary, distance traveled, type of accommodation and available activities may vary due to group input, weather, road conditions & local restrictions. Early or late season treks can be affected by extreme weather.

Tour Description:
Start the tour with a day on our luxury sailing boat to the Outer Barrier Reef. Try scuba diving (no experience needed) and snorkeling among the coral in the clear waters. A great start to the tour and a day you will remember for the rest of your life! Then travel up and over the Great Dividing Range, passing through small towns like Ravenshoe and Mount Garnet. Meet Russell in Mt Surprise and interact in his unique reptile show.

We travel through some vastly changing landscape en route to Cloncurry where we can do a tour of the "Flying Doctor Museum". Passing through the mining town of Mt Isa, we depart Queensland through Camooweal and into the exciting Northern Territory. Today you can see just how flat this remarkable country is. We camp on the banks of a river near Cape Crawford. A good opportunity to have a damper cooked in the coals of the fire.

Meet the locals at the renowned Daly Waters Pub for a refreshing drink, then take a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters of Mataranka's thermal pool, nestled amongst tall shady palms. Heading North, maybe take a cruise up two of the spectacular gorge systems of Katherine Gorge. Then head further north to the see the famous magnetic termite mounds in Litchfield National Park.

We camp next to waterfalls in Litchfield National Park this evening. There is time for a morning swim at Florence Falls before arriving this afternoon back to civilization in Darwin with a real bed in the multi million-dollar YHA. We normally go out for a meal and perhaps a fling at a nightclub for those in a party mood. Then a free day to take in the sights of this frontier city. See the museums, the historic early settlement, take a trip on the "Tour Tub!", an open top bus trip of the city or just chill out by the pool.

A chance for last minute shopping before we head out on the road to the "World Heritage Listed" Kakadu National Park, one of Australia’s most beautiful areas of wilderness. Come and explore Nourlangie Rock to see Aboriginal rock art thousands of years old before watching the sunset where the aborigines have lived for over 40,000 years or take a cruise on the Yellow Water Billabong where you can spot the many crocodiles, birds, snakes, dingos and more that are abundant in Kakadu. Maybe take a swim at Barramundi Gorge before heading out of Kakadu to camp on an Aboriginal buffalo station, Manyallaluk.

We join the locals to try some "Bush Tucker", and learn how to throw a spear or even "make fire". Find out how the aboriginals existed for thousands of years in harmony with their surroundings. The aborigines themselves teach the ancient skills. Also a great opportunity to purchase didgeridoos, paintings & woven baskets from the people who make them. We have time for another relaxing swim at Mataranka Hot Springs after setting up camp.

The road south leads us past the Daly Waters Pub again. Visit the gold mining town of Tennant Creek before arriving at the eerie Devils Marbles in time for sunset. There are several short hikes around the area & some stunning photographs to be taken. The next day we travel through the Western MacDonnell ranges, where you can see Simpson's Gap, the Ochre Pits or even hike around Ormiston Gorge. We continue to Alice Springs and set up camp before heading out on the town for a meal & some nightlife. Why not eat out in one of the great restaurants or maybe have pizza?

We head to Kings Canyon to marvel at the sheer canyon walls and hit the rim trail for a hike over the Lost City and the Garden of Eden before arriving at our final camp at Ayers Rock Resort. Plenty of time this evening for that world famous picture of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset.

Next day we’ll take you on a guided walk around the base of one of the worlds' largest monoliths and reveal some of the Aboriginal legends that abound in this World Heritage Area. Then explore Kata Juta (The Olgas) before viewing the sunset over these surreal domes. We will have one last early morning visit and photo stop at Uluru before returning to Alice Springs where we will say a goodbye to newfound friends.
