The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive 2007
The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive is on the move again. Five hundred head of cattle. Three hundred and ninety kilometres of desert track. And a swag of adventure stories along one of the most evocative desert trails in Australia, the Oodnadatta Track.
You'll be riding with some of Australia's finest horsemen to re-live a very real part of Australian history, the droving of cattle through the Outback. And whether you're an experienced rider, a happy hacker or someone who has never been in a saddle, you'll be matched with a horse to suit your abilities.
As well as keeping the herd moving, you'll soon find yourself part of a very remarkable landscape. From Oodnadatta to Marree, you'll cross haunting plains of stone and sand, passing ancient uplifts, bubbling springs and dazzling salt lakes. But you'll also encounter the peoples of the Oodnadatta Track, past and present - the indigenous Arabunna peoples, the pioneers and the men and women who still make their living in this extraordinary environment.
Each evening you'll return to a village of superior tent accommodation. Excellent facilities will include a bar, a library, hot showers and flushing toilets, superb catering and most importantly the roaring campfire beneath a canopy of desert stars - the place to retell your adventures of the day.
You can join the Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive 2007 on one (or more) of four tours. Each lasts four nights and five days and each has its own distinct highlights.
To follow are each of these tours for your consideration. We very much look forward to your riding with us on the Oodnadatta Track. Saddle up for 2007 - and be part of one of the world's greatest travel experiences.
For each stage of the The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive 2007 you'll do as much or as little of this cattle drive as you wish; optional coach tours on Days 3 and 4 are available to show you further regional highlights and histories. Experience the Outback from a unique vantage point and join a scenic flight at an additional cost.
