Kimberley Tours Guide 2017

Your Kimberley Tours Guide 2017 below shows Kimberley Tours from Broome, Kununurra and Darwin (plus a few extra destinations). Tours of 7 days or more travel via the Gibb River Road to go deep into the best of the Kimberley – Australia’s last and unique frontier.

Early Bird Savings of $400 per person are available on some of these dates (unless booked out beforehand) if booked by January 15. Please advise if planning to book as places are limited and fill fast.

You travel in real 4 Wheels Drive vehicles (Toyota GXL Landcruisers) which are very comfortable and ideally suited to the remote and often hard to access areas we take you to. Our tours are Personal and Private Kimberley Tours where you get the attention and preferences you want, without tens of other passengers – Buses are not us.

AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS EVE

‘Twas the night before Christmas; there wasn’t a sound.

Not a possum was stirring; no-one was around.

We’d left on the table some tucker and beer,

Hoping that Santa Claus soon would be here;

We children were snuggled up safe in our beds,

While dreams of pavlova danced ’round in our heads;

And Mum in her nightie, and Dad in his shorts,

Had just settled down to watch TV sports.

When outside the house a mad ruckus arose;

Loud squeaking and banging woke us from our doze.

We ran to the screen door, peeked cautiously out,

Snuck onto the deck, then let out a shout.

Guess what had woken us up from our snooze,

But a rusty old Ute pulled by eight mighty ‘roos.

The cheerful man driving was giggling with glee,

And we both knew at once who this plump bloke must be.

Now, I’m telling the truth it’s all dinki-di,

Those eight kangaroos fairly soared through the sky.

Santa leaned out the window to pull at the reins,

And encouraged the ‘roos, by calling their names.

‘Now, Kylie! Now, Kirsty! Now, Shazza and Shane!

On Kipper! On, Skipper! On, Bazza and Wayne!

Park up on that water tank. Grab a quick drink,

I’ll scoot down the gum tree. Be back in a wink!’

So up to the tank those eight kangaroos flew,

With the Ute full of toys, and Santa Claus too.

He slid down the gum tree and jumped to the ground,

Then in through the window he sprang with a bound.

He had bright sunburned cheeks and a milky white beard.

A jolly old joker was how he appeared.

He wore red stubby shorts and old thongs on his feet,

And a hat of deep crimson as shade from the heat.

His eyes – bright as opals – Oh! How they twinkled!

And, like a goanna, his skin was quite wrinkled!

His shirt was stretched over a round bulging belly

Which shook when he moved, like a plate full of jelly.

A fat stack of prezzies he flung from his back,

And he looked like a swaggie unfastening his pack.

He spoke not a word, but bent down on one knee,

To position our goodies beneath the yule tree.

Surfboard and footy-ball shapes for us two.

And for Dad, tongs to use on the new barbeque.

A mysterious package he left for our Mum,

Then he turned and he winked and he held up his thumb;

He strolled out on deck and his ‘roos came on cue;

Flung his sack in the back and prepared to shoot through.

He bellowed out loud as they swooped past the gates-

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and goodonya, MATES!’

Stressed and Overworked Executives Make Marginal Decisions Under Pressure

We all know that  stressed and overworked executives make marginal decisions under pressure.

It is one thing to “know it” and yet another to build a solution. So as two long time friends discussed the challenges of stress, depression and other pressures facing business leaders they decided to create a venture that would use the skills of both their businesses to create an opportunity for clarity amongst business executives.

Richard O’Neill runs a highly successful Outback Tour organisation and is CEO of Spirit Safaris, and has led over 200 tours throughout the Australian Outback. While Stuart Mackay is the CEO and author of Clarity Now, an internationally renowned leader of Life and Leadership Engagement Systems.

Together, these highly successful men will lead a focussed leadership journey that will include walking, 4WD and plenary sessions in the heart of Australia. It is a 6 day itinerary billed as The Journey to Clarity. You can leave your stress far outback.

Getting back to our roots, sleeping under the stars, along with some well earned luxury is a part of this self development opportunity. You will visit some of Central Australia’s breathtaking sites, but places are limited to 6 places per tour, though team programmes are also available.

If you want to finish 2016 with clarity and wisdom and are keen to start 2017 with a total new vigour this is the journey for you.

Book Now for November 20 – 25, 2016 or see details here https://www.spiritsafaris.com/journey-to-clarity

or Call Stuart Mackay on 0422 943 737

or Richard O’Neill on 0417244 600.

Travel and Training Combined for Stressed-Out Executives

“At Clarity Now, I am always trying new ways to help busy executives and corporate clients to reduce their stress levels, and be more focused and productive” says Stuart Mackay, Founder of Clarity Now Systems

A recent ‘aha’ moment was to put together a guided tour for a 6-day transformative walking and 4WD adventure including Alice Springs, the Olgas, the Western Desert, and world famous Uluru.

I am Stuart Mackay, the Australian born founder and Author of Clarity Now, an internationally recognised Life and Leadership engagement system.

And my special idea was to package in a full training module of Clarity Now, as part of a Journey to Clarity Tour, which will take you deep into the NT outback, the soul of the oldest part of our planet.

So now frazzled executives can recharge their energy, both by learning and experiencing the Clarity Now stress-release technique in easy modules; touring the Great Australian outback by day, choose sleeping out under the stars some nights, then enjoying some well earned luxury accommodation along the way.

I must confess my inspiration came from long time friend Richard O’Neill (FAIM BE), CEO of Spirit Safaris, who has led over 200 journeys throughout the Australian outback.

Richard will lead the tour. And it was his intimate knowledge of the many sacred sites, intriguing stories of the aboriginal dreamtime, the spectacular gorges and pristine locations, that are the heart and soul of the mysterious landscapes of the Australian outback, that assured the tour came to fruition.

Here are just a few tempting highlights of this unique, guided walking and 4WD tour which starts at Alice Springs, taking in; the Larapinta Trail, Simpsons Gap, the MacDonnell Ranges, Ancient Palm Valley, Tyler’s Pass and the comet crater Gosse Bluff, Kings Canyon, ‘Garden of Eden’, Curtin Springs, Yulara resort and Uluru sunset viewing, all included in your 6-day itinerary.

As well as shaking-off your built-up stress and anxiety, the training component means you can also claim part of your investment as a tax deduction.

If recharging your energy batteries with a Journey to Clarity sounds like a life enhancing experience to you, next  dates are: November 20 – 25, 2016, and March 19 -24, 2017. There are only 18 places per tour. Full details can be found at ClarityNow.org, or please contact myself Stuart Mackay on +61 422 943 737 or Richard O’Neill or

Book Early to Confirm Your Place.

Investment : $3,500. Deposit of $995 secures your place. Full payment due within 7 days of booking. SAVE $300 if paid in full October 22, SAVE $200 if paid in full by October 30. Rate is for twin share room. For single room add $125.
