• Day 1 – Adelaide to Quorn

  Leaving Adelaide we travel through the Clare Valley as we make our way towards the stunning Flinders Ranges. On our journey we enjoy a lunch break at a local Clare Valley Winery, with some tastings thrown in. We have the opportunity to then gain a bird's eye view from the top of Mt Remarkable as we look out over this beautiful region. We check into our private accommodation at the historical 'Mill' before enjoying a classic pub dinner & drink with the locals! This great Aussie Atmosphere sets our scene for this evening. (D)

   

  Day 2 – Flinders Ranges & Wilpena Pound
  
  This morning we enter the National Park where adventure, spirituality and tranquillity co-exist in one majestic destination. We set out on a hike for some spectacular views of the 'Flinders Ranges', named one of Australia's outstanding national landscapes. See the natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound - a lost world, located inside a giant stone crater. On our return to Quorn we visit the Yourambulla Caves for a glimpse at some local Aboriginal rock paintings and the stories that go with them. This evening enjoy a casual BBQ dinner. Overnight at the Quorn "Mill". (BLD)

   

  Day 3 – Quorn to Coober Pedy

  Leaving Quorn we travel through Port Augusta, then head north into the open landscapes and join the Stuart Highway (one of the longest highways in the world). Passing several salt lakes, you can capture a great photo opportunity of the vastness of Central Australia before we arrive in the 'Opal Capital of the World', Coober Pedy. A diverse township renowned for its many underground attractions! On arrival we enjoy a local town tour which includes a visit to an underground mine & museum. Our accommodation for tonight is – you guessed it – underground. (BLD)

   

  Day 4 – Coober Pedy to Marla

  Before departing Coober Pedy we are enlightened with a town tour by a local, before visiting an outdoor public opal fossicking site, with the opportunity to try your luck 'noodling' for opals! From here we go north up the Stuart Highway and into the rugged country of Australia's inland and a visit to 'The Breakaways' with amazing views that go on and on and on! Tonight our remote base is a little further up at Marla. (BLD)

   

  Day 5 – Marla to Uluru

  From Marla, we cross the Northern Territory border and arrive at the Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park. Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) will fascinate you, and you will discover some of the secrets of this ancient landform during the Valley of the Winds hike. You'll be mesmerised as the desert sun sets over Uluru, and as the night grows darker, curl up in your swag (Aussie bedroll) under millions of stars. (BLD)

   

  Day 6 – Uluru to Kings Canyon

  It's an early start this morning, but you'll be rewarded with a glorious Uluru sunrise. While the morning's fresh (and your legs are too!) enjoy an unguided walk around the base of Uluru. You will then deepen your understanding of the land and the Mala people as you take a cultural interpretive walk with an Aboriginal guide (and interpreter). Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts at the Cultural Centre before we travel to our exclusive campsite within the Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) where we sleep for the night. (BLD)

   

  Day 7 – Kings Canyon to Alice Springs

  Get your hiking shoes on today as we head out to explore the impressive formations of Kings Canyon. You'll be left breathless by the sheer beauty of the canyon as we trek through the Amphitheatre, the Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of Eden and the North and South Walls. Lunch is a welcome prospect, before we make our way to Alice Springs. (BL)

   

  Day 8 - Alice Springs

  Enjoy a FREE DAY to relax and explore Alice Springs. Overnight accommodation included (meals at own expense).

   

  Day 9 – Alice Springs to Banka Banka

  We pass by the Tropic of Capricorn then stop at the Barrow Creek Pub, home of the Telegraph station. Catch a glimpse of how outback telecommunication used to be. Precariously balanced on their rocky perch are the Devils Marbles, a site sacred to its traditional owners. Last stop for today is our private campsite at Banka Banka station where we camp for the night. (LD)

   

  Day 10 – Banka Banka to Katherine Gorge

  No visit to the Top End would be complete without a visit to the famed Daly Waters pub, a quintessential outback roadhouse and 'watering hole' for travellers from far and wide. Mataranka lies in the heart of the 'never-never', and you'll feel a million miles from anywhere as you soak in the steamy thermal springs. As the day draws to a close, we reach our overnight camp at stunning Katherine Gorge. (BLD)

   

  Day 11 – Katherine Gorge to Darwin

  The gorge is all yours this morning, with a half day to spend canoeing or cruising (at own expense and seasonal) the spectacular waters. Want to see more? Jump aboard a helicopter flight (at own expense) which will take you high above the vast gorge system. We'll head to Darwin after a stop at idyllic Edith Falls. (BL)

   

  Day 12 - Darwin to Mary River

  A refreshing start to your day checking out the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park. Enjoy lunch before heading to the spectacular Mary River Wetlands, where birds aren't the only wildlife abundant; keep a watch for lurking crocodiles on our private river cruise! A secluded campsite in the Mary River Region is where we'll stay tonight. (LD)

   

  Day 13 - Mary River to Kakadu

  Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, our first stop this morning. Clamber to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the Nardab floodplain. Next it's on to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the plunge pools. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp within Kakadu NP. (BLD)

   

  Day 14 - Kakadu to Darwin

  Get ready for some 4WD action today on our way to Jim Jim Falls! Once we get there, we'll hike to the base of the falls before continuing on to Twin Falls. Feel the beauty of the stunning gorge and powerful falls from the National Park operated boat and boardwalk experience. Stop in at the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre this afternoon to learn about local Indigenous culture. The impressive scenery will continue to amaze you as we journey back to Darwin in the afternoon. (BL)

    Introductie: Zuid Australië is de zogenaamde "Empty State" en ligt aan de Indische Oceaan. Het grenst aan alle andere staten. Het grootste gedeelte van de staat bestaat uit woestijn en droge zoutmeren en alleen in Adelaide woont al 80% van de bevolking.
    
    De Fransen zetten in 1792 eerste voet aan wal op wat nu Zuid Australië heet, maar kwamen terecht in de woestijngebieden en hielden het snel voor gezien. Later kwamen de Engelsen die in betere gebieden kwamen en zij besloten zich hier te settelen. Het land werd opgedeeld in percelen en de eerste eigenaren hiervan kwamen in 1935 hun grond opeisen. Zuid Australië wordt ook wel de droogste staat in het droogste land genoemd en hoewel het noorden van deze staat zeer onherbergzaam is, is de omgeving rond de stad Adelaide zeer toeristvriendelijk.
    
    Taal: Engels.
    
    Hoofdstad: Adelaide.
    
    Tijdverschil: Het is in South Australia 8 uur later dan in Nederland.

  • klimaat

    Klimaat: In het zuiden van Australië is er een duidelijk onderscheid in de seizoenen. Het kan warm tot zeer warm worden in de zomer, in de lente en herfst is de temperatuur gematigd en in de winter kan het behoorlijk afkoelen.

  • geld

    Munteenheid: Australische Dollar.
    
    Betaalmiddelen: In Australië kan men in hotels en restaurant goed terecht met craditcards(vooral Mastercard en Visa).
    
    Prijsniveau: Het prijsniveau in Australië ligt iets onder dat van Europa.

  • gezondheid

    Gezondheid: Warmte en de zon kunnen, bij onoplettendheid,veel schade aan de gezondheid aanrichten. In de kustgebieden zijn over het algemeen bewaakte stranden. Langs de kusten van Australië komen namelijk onder andere haaien en levensgevaarlijke kwallen veel voor.
    
    Worldticketcenter.nl is geen medische instelling en heeft derhalve geen bevoegdheden op dit gebied. De gezondheidsadviezen per land wijzigen regelmatig en wij adviseren altijd contact op te nemen met het Landelijk Coördinatiecentrum Reizigersadvisering. Het LCR geeft de richtlijnen uit die worden gebruikt door GGD's en huisartsen.

  • tips

    Grensdocumenten: Voor Australie is er naast een geldig paspoort, ook een visum nodig.
    
    Reisseizoen: Over het algemeen kiezen de Nederlandse toeristen bij voorkeur voor de periode oktober tot en met maart voor een bezoek aan Australië, aangezien daar het dan zomer is. Omdat Australië echter verschillende klimaten kent, is er voor ieder type reiziger wel een bepaald seizoen dat aanspreekt.
    
    Aanvlieghaven: Adelaide Airport ligt zo'n 6 km ten zuidwesten van het centrum van Adelaide.
    
    Telefoon: Australië beschikt over een prima internationaal telefoonnetwerk. Ook in en om de grote steden zijn er ruim voldoende internetcafe`s.
    
    Electriciteit: De netspanning is 240V AC (wisselstroom). Stekkers hebben twee of drie pootjes. Een Britse driepolige stekker past niet. Het beste is natuurlijk een adapter. Een universele adapter kun je hier in Nederland kopen. Koop je er een in Australië, neem dan de stekker mee naar de winkel.

  • toerisme

    Toerisme: Zuid Australië is, net als de andere streken van Australië, uitermate geschikt voor natuurliefhebbers, wandelaars en actieve vakantiegangers. In Adelaide zijn diverse wandelclubs die de weekenden boswandelingen organiseren in het Mount Lofty gebergte.
    
    Ook zeilers kunnen hun hart ophalen langs de kustlijn van Adelaide in de golf van St. Vincent. De stranden dichtbij de hoofdstad, zoals Seacliff, Brighton, Somerton en Glenelg zijn perfecte stranden om te zwemmen, hoewel men voor surfen verder de zee in moet. Er is een rif voor duikers bij Glenelg Beach.
