Aussie Redback Tours will be covering a large part of Australia this year (as we do every year) and in just three tours, you can travel south to north, east to west, AND see many of the outback towns that have made Australia famous. Adelaide to Darwin – the “Explorers Way” begins in Adelaide and finishes in Darwin, with the trip heading north through the centre of Australia. On this tour, you’ll visit the famous opal mining town of Coober Pedy; you’ll see the unmissable Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas); you’ll stop at Alice Springs and the surrounding MacDonnell Ranges, waterholes and gorges; then there’s Tennant Creek, the eccentric Daly Waters Pub, Katherine, AND you’ll be treated to a cruise on the beautiful Katherine Gorge in the Nitmiluk National Park. This tour runs from 13 May to 26 May 2025, and prices start at $5,750 per person. The cost includes flights from and to Perth, and many other inclusions. Perth to Cairns – the “Longest Shortcut” begins in Perth and finishes in Cairns, cutting diagonally through Australia and some of the most remote country in the world. On this tour you’ll visit the goldfields region of Western Australia, before continuing on to the Great Central Road through salt lakes, ranges, and sand hills which all have a beauty that is iconically Australian. The tour continues through the Northern Territory and the Gibson Desert, and you’ll visit Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and the beautiful MacDonnell Ranges, as well as the Simpson Desert. The tour passes through many outback towns made famous by poets and singers alike. On day nine the tour crosses into Queensland where the countryside slowly changes again, finally ending up in the tropical rainforest of Cairns. There are too many inclusions to mention but needless to

For the first time, Aussie Redback Tours is condensing two popular South Australian tours, and combining them as one. We are pleased to advertise our "Proud Mary - Kangaroo Island tour", which departs on Thu 24 April 2025. The Murray River is not only one of the world’s legendary rivers, but it is also Australia’s most famous river. It boasts some of the most spectacular and rugged Australian landscapes, and is home to an array of abundant wildlife and bird life, and you will get to see all of this on board the Proud Mary, which also prides itself in memorable food and side tour experiences. After the cruise, you'll spend two full days on Kangaroo Island (Australia's third largest island), discovering unique wildlife, wild plains, towering cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, as well as fabulous local produce. The tour finishes with a drive back to Adelaide airport via wine country scenery. This tour has so much variety that is sure to suit most people's tastes, so book now as it's sure to be popular. The tour runs for 7 days, and costs start at $3,850 per person. Call Aussie Redback Tours today on 1300 662 026 or email info@aussieredbacktours.com.au. More detail can be found on the website.

By popular demand, we've added three more tours to our calendar for next year - Two-Day Wave Rock in March; Adelaide to Darwin, the Explorers' Way in April, and a second Cape York/Thursday Island tour in August. We've found that going to Wave Rock is such a wonderful experience, that rather than rush it, we've decided to make it a two-day tour (Sat 02 and Sun 03 March 2024), staying for one night at the Hyden Hotel. This means we'll have more leisurely time to explore the rock as well as Mulka's Cave and Hippo's Yawn without having to rush back to the bus too early and without getting back to Perth so late. With a two-day experience you'll have more time for photos, "surfing the wave", visiting the gift shop and cafe and simply enjoying this spectacular part of Western Australia. The Adelaide to Darwin tour (Sun 07 to Sat 20 April 2024) follows in the footsteps of our early explorers, travelling from the capital city of South Australia, all the way up through the centre of Australia, finishing at the capital city of the Northern Territory. We will visit the unique opal town of Coober Pedy; the iconic Uluru and Kata Tjuta; Devil's Marbles; Katherine Gorge; the historic Daly Waters Pub, and more. This is classic Australian outback country with beautiful scenery, amazing history, and so much more. The Cape York and Thursday Island tour in 2023 was a sellout so Sharon has decided to put two Cape York tours on next year. The first one, in July, is already full, hence the second one which will run from Thu 01 to Tue 13 August 2024 and bookings are now open. If you missed out in 2023 or if this is a tour you’ve been hoping to do
