This is the ultimate Western Deserts Safari. If you have been looking at a map of Australia and wondering what mysteries lie in the blank bits out west - look no further. Rather than a barren desert, you will find nature's wonderland, including the Mulga parklands of the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve, the rugged splendour of Rudall River National Park, and the stunning and seldom visited East Pilbara. See how the country changes, and how the plants, birds and wildlife adapt to those changes. This expedition travels through the country where the last "first contacts" were made with traditional nomadic Aboriginals and follows the Western Desert art movement, visiting the communities of Haasts Bluff, Papunya, Warburton, Warakurna and Kiwirrkurrna - the most isolated community in Australia. You will travel the paths of the explorers as well as tracks put in by Len Beadell, including the Gary and Gunbarrel highways and the seldom-travelled Talawanna Track. For lovers of nature, those with an adventurous spirit, or simply those who love to immerse themselves in wild and remote places, look no further, this is the one for you. |
