The Canning Stock Route is the longest and most remote Stock Route in the world, and arguably the most challenging four wheel drive expedition on the planet! One solitary set of wheel tracks lead for almost 2,000 kilometres across the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert and large portions of the Gibson Desert. It is a place of living history - the longest heritage trail in Australia. A series of wells, first dug in 1906 by a party under the leadership of A.W.Canning connect the stock route. These wells are generally situated on or near earlier Aboriginal wells. There are stunning examples of Aboriginal rock art in the Calvert Range. The Cannning Stock Route is also a place of great natural beauty - a desert wilderness with diverse land systems. The scenery changes constantly throughout the tour, and there is never a dull moment! From spectacular ranges to wide plains, desert oak forests and salt lakes. Combine all this with Diamantina's great cuisine, fine wines, friendly knowledgeable guides with collectively over 50 years experience travelling the Canning Stock Route and you have an outback odyssey unequalled.
