TROPICS TO THE OUTBACK
2009 Departure Dates: 05-12 August
Queensland's Outback has it all; from rollicking stockmen, to quiet fishing spots, to desert sand dunes, and even the odd dinosaur.
Alice Springs is an iconic Outback town, surrounded by a red dessert the size of Europe and framed by the MacDonnell Rangers. Its history is populated by a colourful cast of characters that includes old-diggers, Outback pioneers, Afghan cameleers and of course the Indigenous Australians who have called this place home for thousands of years.
Take a journey through this vast and varied part of Australia, where open spaces and big blue skies frame tiny towns and the many characters who inhabit them.
