Highlights of the Simpson Desert Expedition
Traverse the world’s largest parallel sand dune desert with a team of expert safari guides. Enjoy the comfort of hot showers, flushing toilets, and exceptional catering as you traverse this vast landscape. Delve into the rich Aboriginal and European history of the area, visiting significant sites such as Dalhousie Springs, where you can swim in the thermal pools—the largest surface expression of the Great Artesian Basin.
Follow the historic Old Ghan Railway to Finke, and traverse the infamous French Line through the Simpson Desert. Camp at Chambers Pillar to witness a spectacular sunset, and spend two nights at the iconic Birdsville Hotel on the desert’s edge. Explore the northern Simpson Desert along the Hay River Track, running between the dunes, and discover the Ewaninga Rock Carvings, as well as the Tapatjatjaka Art & Craft Centre. Travel in style and reliability in a convoy of five incredible Mercedes Benz ‘G’ Wagons.
