Few Australian adventures are more iconic than a journey through the heart of the country in the footsteps of legendary explorers Burke and Wills, and their compatriot John McDouall Stuart.
These expeditions are far from being just historical journeys. You’ll also explore some of the most spectacular scenery Australia has to offer including Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, the Devil’s Marbles and the extraordinary rock monoliths of the ‘Lost City’ which you will experience by helicopter.
The underground town of Cooper Pedy – the opal capital of the world – is also a highlight for many of our guests, so too are such iconic highlights as Birdsville Hotel. On the Corner Country Expedition you’ll cruise the Cooper Creek and stay overnight at the Mungo Lodge and more.
Your Outback Spirit tour will share all these wonders in unrivalled style and comfort.

Burke and his fellow explorer William John Wills were the first men to cross Australia from south to north. With numerous wagons, 28 horses and 24 camels they carried enough food for two years along with a supply of beads to use as gifts for the aborigines they encountered. Although a number of the party survived, both Burke and Wills died of starvation in tragic circumstances on the banks of Coopers Creek.
