South Australian Outback and Channel Country

14-Day Camping Tour – Departs Adelaide 30 May 2024 – Max 10 participants (6 in lead vehicles & 4 tag-alongs)

Join Tom Grove, owner and Director of Coates Wildlife Tours, for a true outback camping tour in South Australia. Leaving Adelaide, we will head to Wilpena Pound, an iconic natural wonder in the heart of the Flinders Ranges. We then begin the journey towards outback Queensland and discover the birdlife (especially waterbirds) found in the chan­nels, water­holes and lakes of Ram­sar Wet­land Coongie Lakes, and Diamantina National Park. A trip to this part of the world wouldn’t be complete without visiting Innamincka and Birdsville, deep in the heart of wild and isolated country, before ending the tour in Alice Springs.

Western Explorer Expedition

12-Day Easy Camping Tour – Departs Broome 17 July 2024 – Max 12 participants

On this tour we travel from Broome to Perth through WA’s typical outback country. Rugged ancient landscapes, including Karijini National Park, Mt Augustus and the Kennedy Ranges, are not places one can just ‘swing by’. Our 12-day tour coincides with the northern wildflower season and is an ideal way to explore all three in one go. We also visit Coalseam Conservation Park, one of WA’s top wildflower hotspots. This tour is ‘Easy Camping’ so your tents and camp beds will be put up and taken down for you.
