Go where the spaces are open and the “eyre” is fresh…

Starting from Adelaide, set out in a modern and comfortable 4WD with a group of maximum 5 travellers into the wilds of South Australia.

If you’re lucky enough to visit during the rains, look on in wonder as the desert explodes into floodwater and thousands upon thousands of birds.

Delve deep into Coober Pedy to discover a unique outback town where more than half the residents live underground. Visit the underground church, the underground hotel and, of course, the Umoona Opal Mine and Museum that give the town its reputation as Australia’s Opal Capital.

Along the way, you’ll visit picturesque historic towns and must-see sights including Australia’s oldest copper mining town, South Australia’s oldest winery and even a rocket park, where you will uncover the truth behind Australia’s Cold War weapons testing program. You’ll feast on delicious, locally sourced food and encounter unforgettable Aussie larrikins. You’ll return to Adelaide having experienced the best of this little-known part of the world.

This unique package includes 6-days/5-nights on tour with a small group of maximum 5 people. You’ll stay 5-nights’ in deluxe accommodation in Rawnsley Park, Marree, William Creek, Coober Pedy and Woomera on a twin share basis.
