Friday 30 July to Sunday 29 August 2010
From Tourism South Australia: Hundreds of cattle and a swag of adventure stories will be told on one of the most evocative desert trails in Australia - the Oodnadatta Track. Participants will ride with some of Australia's finest drovers and relive a very real part of Australian history by droving cattle through the Outback.
Six tours are available-- each four nights and five days and has its own highlights and camp village.
The base is on Anna Creek Station, giving you the rare opportunity to enter the world's largest cattle station, measuring some 5.5 million acres; roughly the size of Massachusetts. Close by is the tiny outback town of William Creek (population 10), which is a two hour drive east of Coober Pedy, the outback town famous for mining opals and where the majority of residents live underground.
Riders of all abilities are welcome. During the tours, participants return to a village of superior tent accommodation each evening and enjoy excellent facilities including a bar, a library, hot showers and flushing toilets, superb catering and most importantly the roaring campfire beneath a canopy of desert stars. Dinner is often accompanied by tales or music from the Outback.
International spots (that means spots for those us not in Australia) are limited so please book quickly to avoid missing out. Visit www.cattledrive.com.au for more information or your friendly travel agent blogger at www.ItsAFineDay.com
