What is included in the tour price?

Our tour prices typically include accommodation, transportation, guided tours, and meals as specified in the itinerary. Flights, travel insurance, and personal expenses are usually not included unless specifically mentioned. Each tour listing provides a detailed breakdown of inclusions and exclusions.

How far in advance should I book my tour?

We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance for popular tours, especially during peak season (April to September). Some exclusive rail journeys like The Ghan and Indian Pacific can book out 6-12 months ahead. Early booking also gives you the best selection of cabin types and departure dates.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellation policies vary depending on the tour type and operator. Generally, cancellations made 60+ days before departure receive a full refund minus a small admin fee. Cancellations 30-60 days forfeit 50% of the tour cost, and within 30 days forfeit the full amount. We strongly recommend travel insurance to protect your investment.

Are your tours suitable for people with mobility issues?

Many of our coach and rail tours are suitable for people with limited mobility, though some walking is usually required at destinations. Please discuss your specific needs with our team when booking. We can advise which tours are most suitable and arrange any necessary assistance. Unfortunately, some remote outback tours may not be suitable.

What should I pack for an outback tour?

Essential items include comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), light layers for varying temperatures, a water bottle, camera, and any personal medications. We provide a detailed packing list with your booking confirmation specific to your tour and season of travel.

Do you offer travel insurance?

Yes, we are accredited agents for Toursafe and Covermore Travel Insurance. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses, trip cancellation, and lost luggage. We can provide quotes and arrange coverage at the time of booking your tour.

Can you arrange flights to connect with tours?

Absolutely! We can arrange all domestic and international flights to seamlessly connect with your tour departure and return. Our team will ensure appropriate connection times and can also arrange pre or post-tour accommodation if needed.

Are meals catered for special dietary requirements?

Yes, most tour operators can accommodate special dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergies. Please advise us of any dietary needs at the time of booking so we can ensure appropriate arrangements are made with the tour operator.

Spirit of the Outback

The Spirit of the Outback travels between Brisbane and Longreach twice weekly and is a convenient way to access the many tourist attractions in Longreach and Winton including the Stockman's Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum, Thomson River Cruises, Waltzing Matilda Centre, Lark Quarry and dinosaur country. Queensland's Outback is where shearers made legends, Qantas was born and where doctors make house calls by plane. Its the place where dreaming began, where dinosaurs ran and where no two towns are the same. Take the Spirit of the Outback Virtual Tour\r\n
