Day 1 - Depart Alice Springs for Tanami Track at 1pm (we meet 1pm flight from Sydney or other ports). A three hour journey heads you toward some of the remotest country in Australia.

After a good connection with the locals, we "up the track" through this extraordinary and remote country - by the great Tanami and Granites gold mines, and old abandoned wells from gold rush & cattle droving days to Rabbit Flat Roadhouse to stock up on essentials then to our camp for overnight in the real nowhere.

Day 3 - Arrive at Balgo Art Centre  in the remote Balgo Community near Lake Gregory and meet the Warlayirti artists at work. Enjoy the warm local hospitality and the rich and unique Aboriginal art pieces on display - ready for you to purchase at best bargain rates direct from the source if you wish. Depart Balgo for nearby Billiluna Aboriginal community and cattle station for a look around then a short drive to the amazing Wolfe Creek Crater - the worlds second largest meteorite crater where the rainbow serpent entered the Earth. We can take a walk in the crater or enjoy the view from the crater rim. Overnight camp at majestic Wolfe Creek crater.

On through stunning mesa landscape and rich grasslands we arrive in Broome for sunset celebration at Cable Beach and an optional swim in the Indian Ocean watching the sunset.
