TRAVEL ITINERARY

DAY 1 - HOME to ROMA    (D)

Sunday 7th June 2026:  We have a fabulous 13 days exploring the corner country of Outback QLD, SA and NSW. Today is a travel day—sit back, enjoy the changing landscape, and get to know fellow adventurers. With stops en-route, we arrive late afternoon in Roma for our overnight stay. 

Stay: Roma Explorers Inn

DAY 2 - ROMA to CUNNAMULLA     (BLD)

Monday 8th June:  An early start takes us to Charlotte Plains, a family-owned sheep station dating to the 1860s. Owner Robyn Russell joins us for a guided tour, showcasing Merino, Dohne and Aussie White sheep. Highlights include the 561m Great Artesian Basin bore and historic woolshed, before a relaxed lunch on the homestead verandah. After experiencing genuine outback hospitality, we travel a short distance to our accommodation to settle in for the evening. 

Stay: Oxford Hotel

DAY 3 - CUNNAMULLA to THARGOMINDAH     (BLD)

Tuesday 9th June:  This morning we travel to Eulo, visiting the Eulo Queen Opal Centre with opals from Koroit, Yowah and Duck Creek fields. Lunch follows at the Eulo Queen Hotel, named after Isobel Gray, the colourful “Eulo Queen” famed for her ventures and jewellery. We then continue to Thargomindah on the Bulloo River in Channel Country. Once reliant on sheep and wool, its economy now includes petroleum and gas. Notably, it was Australia’s first town, and the world’s third, to generate hydro-electric street lighting using Artesian Basin water pressure. 

Stay: Thargomindah Oasis Motel

DAY 4 - THARGOMINDAH    (BPLD)

Wednesday 10th June:  After breakfast, a local guide shares stories on a town tour, including the Old Jail and Old Thargomindah Hospital with holographic and interactive displays. We also see a demonstration of the Artesian Hydro Power Plant. This afternoon is free to relax—perhaps read a book or chat with locals. Later, we gather on the viewing deck for a spectacular outback sunset before dinner. 

Stay: Thargomindah Oasis Motel

DAY 5 - THARGOMINDAH to INNAMINCKA    (BPLD)

Thursday 11th June:  Following breakfast we make our way to the historic Noccundra Hotel for our morning stop. This is the only surviving building in the historic township of Noccundra. The hotel was built from locally quarried sandstone and transported to Noccundra by camel train. Stopping throughout our outback drive to enjoy our picnic lunches, later today we arrive at the famous Dig Tree. This is the site of the cache of food left for the starving members of the South-North transcontinental expedition.   Joining the Adventure Way, we’ll cross over the border which takes us into Innamincka.  The Innamincka region is best known historically because of its association with the tragedy of Burke and Wills expedition but more recently it has become identified as a gas and oil area.

Stay: Innamincka Hotel Motel

DAY 6 - INNAMINCKA     (BD)

Friday 12th June:  Today we explore Innamincka, beginning with a one-hour cruise along Cooper Creek to enjoy birdlife and diverse plant species. At Kings Marker, our coach awaits to continue the tour on land. Innamincka’s history is tied to the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition, whose attempt to return south after crossing the continent ended in tragedy. The town never grew beyond thirty residents, yet monuments nearby mark the sites of John O’Hara Burke’s death to the east and William Wills’ death a few kilometres west. 

Stay: Innamincka Hotel Motel

DAY 7 - INNAMINCKA to TIBOOBURRA     (BPLD)

Saturday 13th June:  We travel part of the Strzelecki Track, once one of the driest routes for cattle to Adelaide, today used mainly for Moomba gasfield supplies. Turning off towards Cameron Corner—the junction of NSW, SA and QLD—we see its permanent marker and the wild dog fence marking the borders. Entering Sturt National Park’s 344,000 hectares of outback terrain, we continue to Tibooburra, NSW’s hottest and most isolated town. We check into our motel and settle in for dinner. 

Stay: Family Hotel Motel

Our afternoon includes the Sulphide Street Railway & Historical Museum in the 1905 station, with exhibits from the Silverton Tramway Company, Migrant Heritage Museum and Hospital Museum.

Next is the Royal Flying Doctor Base at Broken Hill Airport, where a guided tour reveals the facility in action alongside historic photos and equipment. After lunch, we visit the Pro Hart Gallery, showcasing his sketches, landscapes and narrative works. Our day ends at the Living Desert, where twelve sandstone sculptures crown the Barrier Ranges hilltop, each with its own story, crafted by leading international artists.
