Having carved our tracks through this rugged landscape for years, we can tell you this is one of the most soul-stirring, challenging, and deeply rewarding adventure-riding destinations on the planet. It is an epic pilgrimage that every true adventure rider owes to themselves at least once in their lifetime.
Traversing three states (NSW, SA, QLD) and the Northern Territory, this journey takes you far beyond the ordinary. From the beating heart of the Australian Outback, skirt the edge of the formidable Simpson Desert, and immerse yourself in Australia’s rich heritage—all on a path leading to the glamour of Sydney's high-rise office blocks and home of the iconic Bondi Beach.
Designed for those with a spirit for endurance and confidence off the pavement, this epic voyage will push your limits and reward you with some of the most awe-inspiring, untamed scenery the Australian Outback has to offer.
Terrain & Riding: Demanding, full-day riding stints over technical and unpredictable terrain, including deep sand, heavy mud, loose rock, and steep mountain tracks. Riders must be experienced in off-road vehicle control and have physical endurance to handle challenging environmental conditions and long saddle times.
Cultural Experience: Complete cultural immersion in remote or isolated regions. There may be deeply foreign customs, local traditional dietary staples, minimal Western amenities, and rudimentary or communal overnight stays. High adaptability and cultural respect are essential.

Simpson Desert Edge Tracks: Ride demanding, technical off-road trails skimming the northern and eastern perimeters of the Simpson Desert.
Cordillo Downs Gibber Plains: Cross remote, expansive stone-covered plains (gibber) featuring historic station landmarks.
Four-State Expedition: Traverse dynamic terrain across Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales over 13 action-packed days.

Authentic Outback Bush Camping: Spend wilderness nights under the star-filled desert sky in remote Outback locations.
Big Red: Optionally ride Australia's biggest dune, a massive, 40-metre-high iron-rich sand dune

Itinerary
Due to the nature of travelling in remote Australia on dirt roads, the itinerary cannot be 100% fixed. Stopover days are included to both allow you to rest and explore areas of particular interest, and to provide contingency should we need to adjust due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
Day 1 - Jervois Station
We head up the Stuart Highway (sealed) and along the Plenty Highway; it is mainly sealed these days towards Jervois Station, so we should make some good time. We will call in at Gemtree Station for a spot of lunch and relax before continuing East towards Jervois.
This is a very remote road, with little, if any, services outside of petrol and a few outback stations. The outback stations do offer some cabin accommodation, but these often get booked out months in advance; the nature of our route means we cannot guarantee the exact date we will arrive. It is therefore assumed we will camp tonight and tomorrow, but we will grab cabins if available.
Day 2 - Tobermoray Station
After Jervois Station, the road becomes pure dirt and is known for deep potholes, bulldust, and sections of very rough terrain; we have therefore made this a relatively short day in terms of distance.
There is not a lot along this road; it is very remote, making it suitable only for 4WD vehicles and our intrepid group of riders. Our overnight stop will be at Tobermoray Station. The same accommodation situation is at Tobermoray as at Jervois
Day 3 - Boulia
We leave the Northern Territory and enter Queensland a little after leaving Tobermoray Station, as we travel the Donohue Highway to Boulia, famous for its Outback Camel Races
Day 4 - Bedourie

What to Expect
The Ride
We will be travelling to some very remote areas on this trip; flexibility and an adventurous attitude are essential. In this country, plans have a habit of changing; you need to be adaptable.
Included is on-tour coaching, if you want it.
Accommodation
The nature of travel out here means it is very difficult to book very far ahead. Where we can stay in a hotel/motel, we will, but do not expect 5-star luxury here; this is a seriously remote trip. There will be nights of camping possibly in the Desert; if you want a hotel guaranteed every night, this tour is not for you. What we can promise you is a great time, cold beer, good food, great company and some of the best adventure riding on the planet.
Climate
Expect everything from 30 °C temperatures during the day to cold nights and possibly cold days.
Rain is not uncommon, but fairly rare. If it does rain, we will be adjusting the itinerary to avoid the rain. This may mean a total replan. It's not about getting wet; it's about this tour is mainly on unsealed surfaces, which become impassable, often for weeks, after rain.
Important
All riders must have a valid motorcycle licence, be experienced, and be comfortable riding off-road for multiple consecutive days.
Riders must be physically fit to ride for potentially hours at a time, standing on the pegs as outback conditions cannot be guaranteed
Route
Accomodation
17 Nights of hotel accommodation
1-2 Nights of Camping
Accommodation ranges from basic outback rooms (think of a room with a bed), outback pubs, glamping on outback stations, to good-quality hotels.
This is a very remote travel itinerary; a flexible attitude is required for accommodation.
All accommodation is on a twin-share basis, unless a single occupancy supplement applies and can be booked accordingly.
Due to the nature of remote outback travel, we may need to camp in the event of unforeseen circumstances. If we do, all camping equipment (excluding sleeping bag) is provided.
Dinning
Breakfasts and Evening meals are included every day
Lunch is not included, as sometimes we may not be in a place where lunch is possible.
If you are a vegetarian or vegan, reconsider this trip; it can be difficult to cater for this in the Outback. Meals in this remote area tend towards Meat, veggies, and Fries, sometimes rice.
