A
number of tours are organised each year with a number of them only
departing once or twice during June/July. As soon as the 2007 dates are
fixed they will be included on the site.
Canning
Stock Route 21 days
The
Canning Stock Route is the longest and most remote Stock Route in
the world. Crossing the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert and
large portions of the Gibson Desert, it is almost 2,000kms of hard
driving. It is a place of living history - the longest heritage trail in
Australia. A series of wells, first dug in 1906 by a party under the
leadership of A.W.Canning connect the stock route. These wells are
generally situated on or near earlier Aboriginal wells. The Stock Route
is also a place of great natural beauty. It is a desert wilderness with
diverse land systems. The scenery changes constantly, and there is never
a dull moment! Combine all this with Diamantina’s great cuisine, fine
wines, friendly knowledgeable guides, and you have an outback odyssey
unequalled.
Expedition
to Pitjantjatjara Lands 9 Days
Pitjantjatjara
people traditionally ranged as far south as Ooldea Soak in the
southern Great Victoria Desert, westward into Ngaanyatjara Lands near
Warburton, and further north than Uluru. The first European to sight the
Musgrave Ranges was explorer W.C.Gosse in 1873, followed shortly after
by Ernest Giles. Giles spoke of the area in glowing terms. The country
is truly beautiful. White man’s borders carved up the traditional
Anangu lands. The western section from Amata to Wingellina prior to 1981
was Aboriginal Reserve, administered by Superintendents of the South
Australian Department of Community Welfare. |
