Itinerary
Day 1: Adelaide to Mt Remarkable National Park
Escape the city and head north for the first stretch of your Adelaide-to-Perth camping tour. Claim a sandy patch of pristine beach at Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula, soak up the sun, then continue along the coast to the seaside town of Port Germein, where you can stroll South Australia's longest jetty, built in 1881. This afternoon, arrive at Mt Remarkable National Park in the Southern Flinders Ranges to set up camp before an afternoon bushwalk. Relax with your new travel companions over dinner, then roll out your swag under a blanket of twinkling stars.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Mambray Creek Campground (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~320 km
Day 2: Mt Remarkable National Park & the Eyre Peninsula
Wake to native birdsong and, after breakfast, hike Davey's Gully for panoramic views across the Spencer Gulf. Then hit the road, taking in Kimba's unique silo art as we wind towards the wildly beautiful Eyre Peninsula. Test your sandboarding skills in epic dunes before unearthing a magical seaside cave at Talia. Arrive at Coodlie Park Farm Retreat for a barbecue feast and a night in a unique swag hut.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Coodlie Park Farm Retreat (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~450 km
Day 3: Baird Bay & Penong
This morning, one of the tour's highlights: an optional three-hour cruise to swim with wild sea lions and dolphins in the sheltered waters of Baird Bay. Head out by small boat to Jones Island, home to a wild colony of Australian sea lions; once moored, snorkel in the rock pools as curious, playful sea lions come to take a closer look — and you may even swim with wild bottlenose dolphins. (These animals are wild and are never fed or interfered with.) After a picnic lunch, pull on a wetsuit for a two-hour learn-to-surf lesson on a pristine beach, or relax, swim and wander the shore. After a big day, arrive in Penong, an outback town famous for its dozens of windmills.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Penong Caravan Park (showers and bathrooms)
Drive: ~340 km
Day 4: Nullarbor & the Great Australian Bight
Today we begin the epic pilgrimage across the Nullarbor Plain. Keep your camera ready for the famous road-crossing sign featuring camels, kangaroos and wombats before we reach the edge of Australia, where the outback drops dramatically into the Southern Ocean. Stretching about 200 kilometres along the Great Australian Bight, the Bunda Cliffs are the world's longest continuous line of sea cliffs. Stop at the iconic Nullarbor Roadhouse, marvel at the ruins of an old telegraph station, and in the late afternoon cross into Western Australia. Tonight, bush camp under the southern skies on the Nullarbor.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Bush camping on the Nullarbor (no facilities)
Drive: ~800 km (with plenty of stops)
Day 5: Nullarbor to Cape Le Grand National Park
Continue across the mighty Nullarbor, taking in Australia's longest straight road, the 90 Mile Straight. Visit the outback town of Balladonia, which shot to worldwide fame in 1979 when the Skylab space station returned to Earth here rather abruptly. By afternoon, turquoise water replaces red dirt as we head towards Esperance — enjoy free time in town and a swim at one of the region's incredible beaches — before arriving in the paradise of Cape Le Grand National Park, our base for two nights.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Lucky Bay (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~600 km
Day 6: Cape Le Grand National Park
Crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand, expansive granite bluffs and sunbathing kangaroos — pristine and perfect describe the beauty of Cape Le Grand National Park. The sand at Lucky Bay has twice been judged Australia's whitest. Strap on your hiking boots for one of the best hikes of the tour, climbing Frenchman Peak for sweeping views across Cape Le Grand and the Recherche Archipelago, then spend the day exploring the park — bushland hikes, swims at fantastic bays and coves, and its abundant flora and fauna.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Lucky Bay
Drive: ~10 minutes (walks vary from 2–4 hours)
Day 7: Cape Le Grand to the Stirling Ranges
Sunrise is a sacred time here, and when the friendly western grey kangaroos are most active — wander onto the beach to say hello before we head to Esperance for a coffee stop and a day of driving through ever-changing landscapes. Refuel with lunch at an outback town, spot some silo art, and settle in at our camp in the beautiful Stirling Ranges.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at a private campground at Mt Trio, Stirling Ranges (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~520 km
Day 8: Stirling Ranges & the South West Coast
After breakfast, travel to the Porongurups, which rise from the landscape like an island. Over 1,100 million years in the making, the striking granite outcrop of Castle Rock invites you to walk its 670-metre peak through tall karri and marri forest and take in the view from the suspended Granite Skywalk. Then a dreamy coastal drive towards Albany, stopping at The Gap and Natural Bridge before the turquoise, calm waters of Elephant Rocks and the white sand of Greens Pool. From coast to forest, walk among the old-growth forests of the Walpole Wilderness, ending at the largest tingle tree in Western Australia.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Quinninup Eco Tourist Park (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~390 km
Day 9: Margaret River
Start the day with a hands-on conservation volunteering experience led by a local environmental team — depending on the season, this could include seed collecting, tree planting, weeding, or wildlife and cave conservation. Feeling like you've made a positive contribution, it's time to taste your way around the world-renowned Margaret River region: a well-deserved lunch and beer paddle at a local brewery before exploring an array of cellar doors, from wine to gin to dairy to sweet treats.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accom: Swag camping at Big Valley Caravan Park, Margaret River (showers and toilets)
Drive: ~240 km
Day 10: Margaret River to Perth
Roll up your swag one last time before a 2.5-hour authentic Wadandi cultural experience with a local Aboriginal custodian. Begin with a guided bushwalk to identify Indigenous plants, foods and medicines tied to the six Noongar seasons, witness the ancient art of fire-lighting, then descend into the otherworldly Ngilgi Cave, where the melodies of the didgeridoo are enhanced by the cave's extraordinary acoustics. In Busselton, stop at the Origins Market — a vibrant hub of WA's finest creatives, growers and producers — for lunch and last-minute souvenirs. Stroll the 19th-century Busselton Jetty, stretching 1.8 km into gorgeous Geographe Bay, before one last stint on the road brings you into Perth around 6pm.
Meals: Breakfast
Drive: ~340 km

Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does Paid Locally mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.

What is the weather like in Western Australia?
WA is Australia’s largest state, comprising one-third of its land mass. In the north much of the landscape is barren. The Great Sandy Desert fringes the central-west coast. The Nullarbor, a vast dry plain, sweeps across the south and over the border into South Australia (SA). The southwestern corner of the state is a fertile area of forest and vineyards, and is only small in comparison to the size of the rest of WA.Interesting variations in landscape include the Kimberley in the extreme north of the state, a wild and rugged area with a convoluted coastline and stunning inland gorges.The Pilbara, in the northwest, is magnificent ancient-rock and gorge country from which the state derives vast mineral wealth. Away from the coast most of WA is simply a huge empty stretch of outback: along with the Nullarbor Plain and the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson and Great Victoria Deserts cover much of the state.It’s tropical in the north, where the Dry and Wet seasons replace winter and summer. The Dry lasts from June to August and the Wet from December to February, with monsoonal rain falling from January onwards. The rain can render roads impassable and Port Hedland weathers a serious cyclone at least every two years. In the interior the climate is semi-arid and arid. The southwest of WA is temperate. It’s often above 25°C here while the average temperature along the Kimberley coast is a heavenly 28°C. Up in the Pilbara temperatures can soar to an enthusiasm-depleting 48°C.
What sort of accommodation, vehicles and facilities do we use?
Accommodation on the tour is a mixture of National Parks, camp grounds (with showers and toilets), bush camps (no facilities). Every night in your swag. When camping we use swags with foam mattresses. We like to be flexible with our camping spots as sometimes weather conditions will dictate the best place to camp. We travel in an air-conditioned Mini Bus (maximum of 18 passengers across the Nullarbor) with a purpose built camping trailer.

10 days unforgettable. The group of persons was just exceptional. Days after days, our guide Marcus created an incredible and wonderful atmosphere for all of us. His experience and knowledge of the bush and swag camping allowed us to profit a maximum of each moment in the morning and in the evening at our sleeping places. The activities, landscapes and roads experienced were just amazing. I highly recommend this tour for all who want to discover Australia from Adelaide to Perth.
