Remote Camping - Pristine Western Deserts - Click to enlarge

Many areas we stay have modern facilities including laundries, ironing, toilets and showers This includes Yulara (Uluru), Alice Springs, Glen Helen, Broome, Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek, Broken Hill, Copley, Prap Prap (Bush University) and other major towns.

Camping in remote areas such as shown above is a special opportunity and real gift of outback travel - often just you and no-one - for great clarity of mind. Areas like this include Tanami Track and the Western Deserts. Here we may find a wonderful waterhole or river for swimming.

Generally Central Australian winter travel is cool and dry - and each day is a refreshing new experience. Ask those who know after more than 40,000 years doing it.

We carry a portable hot shower for use in remote areas, and increasingly remote areas like Windjana Gorge and Palm Valley have solar powered showers.

Some areas without showers include Bungle Bungles (Kimberley) and Redbank Gorge (MacDonnell Ranges).
