The vast desert landscapes of Australia, otherwise known as the Outback, are a powerful part of the country’s identity. From certain parts, you can see the curvature of the earth, while from others, you can see more stars in the sky than just about anywhere else on the planet. It’s mysterious intrigue attracts an increasing number of visitors each year, but, with 6.5 million square kilometers of space, there is never really a problem with crowds! Being so large, it is essential to carefully plan your trip to the Outback, as there are a number of different ways to travel through it. To help you with this, OROGOLD has put together a quick guide with some of the different ways that you can explore the Australian Outback.
By Car
Hiring a car and driving through the Outback is one of the most popular ways to explore the area, as it gives you the freedom to go wherever you want and stop at the points of interest that appeal to you personally. There are a number of little-known routes that are great for exploring by car, such as the Binns Track and the Mayfield Swamp Track. Hiring a car in Australia is relatively simple, but if you are on a tight budget, OROGOLD suggests looking into rental car relocations, as these are often offered to tourists at extremely low rates.
By Bus
While traveling through the Outback by bus may mean that you don’t have as much freedom when compared to driving a car yourself, it does come with its own set of advantages. Bus tours mean that you can depend on those who have extensive knowledge of the Outback to plan the itinerary, and there are so many different tours to choose from. Most tours will usually use a small 4 wheel drive bus, taking you through different Outback regions, as well as some of Australia’s most popular cities.
The Ghan
The legendary Ghan is a passenger train that offers travelers a transcontinental adventure through the Australian Outback. Considered to be one of the greatest train journeys in the world, OROGOLD recommends boarding in Adelaide and traveling north through the country, stopping off at famous Outback towns and other points of interest along the way.
By Air
For those of you who want to splurge and enjoy a certain level of luxury while exploring the Outback, OROGOLD would suggest booking yourself a private Outback tour on a luxury plane. Big Blue Air is a company that will create a custom flight itinerary for you, showing you the best of Australia’s Outback. Meridian Tours is also another great operator to look at, as they offer a luxury private jet experience for six days and five nights.
With a little bit of the Outback in just about every Australian state, it isn’t too hard to access. However, the Outback is extremely vast, so some planning is most definitely necessary. Whether you explore the Outback by car, bus, train, or plane, OROGOLD is sure that it won’t be long before you too discover the magic that the Australian Outback holds.
