Amazing Australian
Bus Trips

Halfway between Cairns and Darwin in the Gulf of Carpenteria
Instead of traveling from A to B on some boring coach or
plane and then booking a tour again on arrival, why not combine them!
There are many buses that will take you on one-way trips around Australia,
stopping regularly to enjoy the sights, spend the nights camping in the
bush under magnificent starry skies or colorful outback pubs, make friends
along the way and actually enjoy getting from A to B !

Adelaide to Perth

Crossing the Nullarbor is a mind blowing experience. The
vast distance between the two cities of Adelaide and Perth makes for one
of the world's greatest road journeys. Until 7 years ago travellers had
little choice but to cover the 2800 km between Adelaide and Perth (nearly
two thirds of the Australian continent!) by train, plane or express bus.
For too long travellers whizzed across this vast landscape, experiencing
a long and boring journey. Only a few knew what was out there, the secret
places that lay untouched and undiscovered !
DAY 1: Our adventure begins north from Adelaide. Depending on the weather
conditions we include a bush walk in the Southern Flinders Ranges. If
it's not too hot we bush camp next to an inland salt lake. Otherwise we
opt for more driving today so we can camp near the beach where we can
have a refreshing swim.
DAY 2: After a short drive we board the M.V. 'Investigator' for a 4-5
hr cruise (own cost at $80 inc. GST). It's a relaxing day viewing and
swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions, fishing and a scrumptious
lunch on board. A short drive brings us to our overnight accommodation
on a local farm. More
info and bookings....
This awesome adventure also runs in the other direction
from Perth
to Adelaide....
Darwin to Adelaide
For about the same money as the express (plus overnights
and meals), Wayward Bus can show you much more than squashed bugs by day
and roadtrain tail lights by night. And you get two nights at the rock!

Ando's outback tours - 5 days - a family run operation,
we specialise in venturing away from the well-worn tourist route of the
east coast for a fair-dinkum hands on experience of the “uncommercial”
Australian outback. We travel in small, personalised groups in a laid-back
manner stopping off at tiny towns along the way (some you won't even find
on your map!). The many locals you will meet throughout the trip are mates
of ours who look forward to our weekly visits and enjoy sharing their
bush tails and genuine hospitality. If your idea of travel is to get off
the beaten track, meet the locals and get amongst it for a first hand
taste of our country and culture we guarantee you the experience of a
lifetime. Look forward to seeing you there!! Contact
