Ride out to the Outback
From red deserts to lush green waterholes, open spaces and sky that goes on forever; in Australia’s outback a new adventure awaits at every turn. It’s an adventurous place, where you can easily lose yourself in the landscapes, its people and its stories. When you’re in the Australian outback it becomes your story; your time and place.
The area is brimming with ‘true-blue’ characters and quaint country towns, massive cattle and sheep stations and is steeped in ancient Aboriginal culture. A journey into the Australian outback is a journey into the country’s heart and soul. There’s so much to see and do that you’ll never run out of inspiration and things to try.
Outback Pubs and Characters
Australia is known for its unique and quirky characters, as much as for its outback, koalas or kangaroos. After a long day at work, there’s nothing that Aussies like more than an ice-cold beer at the local pub. It’s at the local pub that you’re most likely to strike up a conversation with some of our outback characters and be drawn into their stories.
Experience an Outback pub
Experience outback station life for yourself. Try your hand at rounding up cattle, fixing fences, driving a tractor, unloading bales of hay, shearing sheep, and becoming an expert at cracking a bullwhip. Then, join in a campfire sing-along under a blanket of a million stars, before bunking down for the night.

Outback Lakes & Rivers
Australia might be one of the driest continents on earth but the land is crisscrossed by webs of rivers and waterways. Some may be dry for much of the year, but they spring to life after rain and become an instant haven for birds and wildlife.
