Touch down in legendary Outback towns—Charleville, Birdsville, Innamincka and Cunnamulla—and soak up true Aussie pub culture with lunches at the iconic Birdsville and Innamincka Hotels. Unwind in the natural thermal waters of Cunnamulla Hot Springs and experience authentic station life at Toogunna Plains Farmstay. Big landscapes. Iconic towns. No long drives. Just pure Outback adventure.

Regrouping at 4:30pm, climb aboard the air conditioned 4WD tour vehicle and head west into the Simpson Desert to enjoy drinks on Big Red, the first major sand dune as you enter the desert.
