Come and join us on this fantastic introduction to Outback travel, learn along the way and gain experience as we explore the best destinations Australia has to offer. This trip will take you from Perth to the Kennedy Range, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
Kennedy Range
If you’ve ever wanted to experience a variety of outback conditions in just one trip, then this is the right trip for you. Experience sandy river crossings, traverse rocky gullies, cruise through desert sand dunes and travel outback dirt roads on this exciting adventure! It starts from Carnarvon approximately 900km north of Perth.
The Kennedy Range can be found approximately 200km to the east of Carnarvon, in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region. The range is spectacular, having been formed by the natural force of wind, water, and the movement of the earths crust over millions of years! Adventure Offroad Training and Hema Maps will take you on a journey through this region, and into areas seldom travelled by the average tourist.
Day One: will see us travel from Perth approximately 580k north for an overnight stop in the Murchison region. Day Two: we will head north, refuelling at Gascoyne Junction before crossing the sandy 200m wide Gascoyne River to start this exciting 4wd adventure. You will travel through station tracks and visit soaks and springs along the way before setting up camp at a beautiful campsite under the river gums for the second evening. Day Three: will see you traverse through numerous small, dry gullies and riverbeds before climbing up onto the top of the range. After driving through many kilometres of desert sand dune and spinifex country you will camp at one of the most scenic campsites you can imagine, looking out over the plain below. Day Four: you will descend the range back into station country to the east, where you will explore historical remnants of the extremely harsh conditions living and working in the region in the early 1900’s. The next two evenings will be spent at Kennedy Range National Park where you will have time to explore the many spectacular walk trails or just enjoy the serenity. There will be plenty of photography opportunities on this trip. Day Seven: we will head to Mt Augustus (Burringurrah) the largest monolith in the world (2.5 times the size of Uluru) where we will set up camp for the next two evenings giving you time to explore and learn about the history of this place. Day Eight: will see us break camp and start our journey home via the the Murchison region again before heading back to Perth on the final day.
