About

Departing Boulia and concluding in Birdsville our Desert Double Tag Along Tour will see us traverse the Simpson Deserts Hay River Run, French line, QAA Line and Madigan line. 

Immerse yourself in remote desert driving as we follow the ancient Hay River system to Poeppel's Corner. Turning West, we tackle the dune country of the French line before arriving at an outback oasis - Dalhousie Hot Springs. Refreshed and revitalised, we overnight at Mt Dare Hotel.

Leaving the Dune Country in our wake, we explore the Lamberts Geographical Centre of Australia and Finke Community before we venture further west in pursuit of the awe-inspiring Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park! 

With inspired minds we track East from here, on the hunt for Central Australia’s other hidden gems! 

After experiencing the magnitude of Kings Canyon we begin our journey though Finke River National Park then onto the West MacDonnell Ranges. 

As we travel along the Red Centre Way, we will have the opportunity to explore the beautiful gorges of the West MacDonnell Ranges. We’ll also step back in time as we’re guided through Hermannsburg Mission. 

This then brings us into the idyllic outback town of Alice Springs. 

From here we begin the next leg of our journey. Travelling east, with Birdsville in our sights, we pick up the red sands of the Simpson Desert as we begin our second Desert crossing via the Madigan Line and QAA Line.
