  • The tour group will link up in Cunnamulla by 1:00pm on Day 1. After a quick briefing we will depart Cunnamulla for our special station stay at Alroy Station. The campground includes artesian hot tubs, plenty of birds and other wildlife, and nearby waterholes with yabbies, so there will be time to explore and relax before a mouth-watering camp oven dinner.

    Over the next several days we will visit Cameron Corner (the corner of QLD/NSW/SA), drive some of the Strzelecki Track, visit a long-abandoned town with a working underground bakery, enjoy another artesian hot tub, drive the length of the Birdsville Track, and plenty more. Accommodation and dinner at the Birdsville Hotel are included in your tour price, and there will be time to explore Birdsville and refuel before heading to Bashville the day before the music starts.

    After the festival of the Bash, there are some ‘must do’ stops on the way home. Our route takes in the Rainbow Serpent and includes a night camped at the legendary Betoota Hotel. We will visit Haddon Corner (QLD/SA) and the Burke and Wills ‘Dig Tree’ on the banks of Cooper Creek. The tour will arrive back in Cunnamulla the evening of Day 13, providing the opportunity for a final group dinner to relive our adventure and farewell new friends. Camping accommodation this last night is included in your tour price.
