Outback Aussie Tours - Journeys of a lifetime

testImonIALs The best measure of success for our team is the wealth of stories and special experiences that are shared by past passengers. We receive endless letters and cards with heartfelt appreciation of the people who really make it happen.

“This trip I was only with you for the Sunset cruise which

I found excellent, particularly walking up the river bank to the beautiful dinner settings illuminated by

hurricane lamps. Most of us townies never

get to see the stars as you do and it was

great to find the Southern Cross. Thank you

for some marvellous experiences, the extra things go a long way.” Terry, Brisbane, Queensland.

“The tour met my expectations and I was

overwhelmed with the attention to personal

stuff eg, pick up times and outstanding

assessment of passenger needs.”

Denise, Christchurch,

New Zealand.

“The whole tour was run with precision, but always gave

the feeling of relaxation and there was always time for that

extra photo.”Cherry, Buderim,

Queensland.

A PERSOnAL inviTATiOn

FROm THE OuTBACk

G’day from Alan and Sue

Born and bred in the bush, we love the Outback life and share

a passion for its strong sense of community and freedom. Let

us take you on a journey to discover our natural and

cultural heritage. Experience our unique brand

of hospitality, local knowledge and an absolute

connection with this land – our home – and its people.

From our on-tour traditions of homemade Anzac

biscuits, bottomless lolly tins, fruit baskets and sunset

happy hours, we pride ourselves on offering you the very

best value as you encounter experiences exclusive only

to a local – only to Outback Aussie Tours. So to all of our

valued past passengers, we look forward to welcoming you

back and to those who are new to Outback Aussie Tours, we

can’t wait to welcome you aboard. All the best, and see you

later mate.

Alan and Sue Smith

Longreach, Queensland’s Outback

“Our favourite day was the visit to the property

of Strathmore Station, 43,000 acres.

Guided around by "Mrs. Grazier" Maree Pearce.

What a delight. Her knowledge of farming, her

friendship, sharing her beautiful home and land was country style all the way.” Friends8together, Trip Advisor Reviewer.

“Just wanted to pass on how

much we enjoyed the Corner

Country trip. The opportunity to

visit those historical places that

most Australians know about but

seldom see, added another tick to

our “Bucket List”. You can

be assured that

Outback Aussie

Tours will be

recommended to

our friends.”

Graeme and Ann,

Victoria.

“Not only were there interesting things to see and learn about but exciting and challenging activities as well! I enjoyed every minute.”Barbara, New South Wales.

ExplorE our Backyard Our region is famous for its characters, culture, history and ancient landscapes. Visitors feel the genuine Aussie embrace of a vast network of welcoming communities. Outback Aussie Tours are proud to call this region our home.

4

Longreach, the heartland of Outback Queensland, is where the legend of the stockman started, where Qantas carved its name in the history annals and where our pastoral industry began.

The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame is a spectacular tribute to the people of Outback Australia. Five themed galleries proudly tell the stories of some of Australia's greatest and bravest explorers, stock workers, pastoralists, and Aborigines. The Outback Stockman’s show is a visitor highlight.

The Gulf Savannah region is a country of golden grasslands abounding with wildlife, mining heritage, great rivers and stunning Outback landscapes. Visit the Undara Lava Tubes, the largest and longest on the planet, explore the deep cool chasms of Copperfield Gorge and marvel at the rugged sandstone cliffs of Cobbold Gorge.

Birdsville sits between the sands

of the Simpson Desert and the gibber

plains of Sturt's Stony Desert and is

best known for its famous pub and

the annual race meeting when the

population grows from 120 to 6,000 in

two days.

In Charleville, the stars almost touch the end of your nose at the Cosmos Centre and Observatory. Visit the National Parks Research Station, home of the Save the Bilby Fund.

The historic town of Winton inspired the lyrics to Banjo Paterson's iconic ballad, Waltzing Matilda, which resonates with all Australians. Discover the ancient world of dinosaurs in Australia's dinosaur capital.

Australian Age of Dinosaurs is home

to the world's largest collection of

Australian dinosaur fossils. A working

dinosaur museum and research

laboratory, it's located on 1,400 hectares

of spectacular mesa plateau with vast

scenery, wildlife and walking trails.

The Qantas Founders Museum

celebrates the airline's growth from its

inception to the influence Qantas has

had on the Outback and the world.

A unique feature of the Qantas

Founders Museum is the opportunity to

tour a fully-fitted Boeing 747 'Jumbo' jet

and a Boeing 707.

Lark Quarry Conservation Park holds the only evidence in the whole world of a dinosaur stampede. The evidence: 3,300 fossilised dinosaur footprints from a time when dinosaurs stomped through lush rainforests and the Outback looked very different from the way it is today.
