All food for this trip is purchased and packed prior to your group leaving on day one. After you’ve left town it can be very difficult to source special dietary requests. 

Travellers with special dietary requirements or food allergies are required to advise us at the time of booking.

You may be asked to pay for any additional food if you have not advised us of any special dietary requirements. Due to the often remote nature of our trips, food is basic but plentiful and delicious.

The below dietary needs can be easily catered for.

• Vegetarian
• Gluten-Free
• Dairy Free (soy available )
• Pork Free

Please bring your own staples (nuts, bars, snacks) if you require a diet differing from the above.

Religious and more specific dietary requirements are generally unable to be catered for on these trips.

To get the most out of this trip you need to be prepared for walks of between 3-9 km on some days. This may be on rough ground and perhaps getting feet wet in rivers and creeks. From Oct to March in the Red Centre, West Coast, and South of Australia you will experience temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius (and sometimes well into the 40’s) so be prepared to endure extra physical stress due to the heat at these times, especially while on walks. In the Top End of Australia (Kimberley and Kakadu) temperatures in the shoulder months of April, May and September, October humidity levels can be high and sometimes slightly uncomfortable.

This is the beauty of this style of travel: Many travellers join because they are travelling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people. When you’re not sleeping out under the stars you’ll be buddied up with another passenger of the same gender to share a room. Want some extra space to stretch out by yourself? There is also the option of paying a single supplement (available on many trips) - ask The Operator directly for more details.

If you’re not comfortable sharing a room with someone of the same gender, or you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please tell us at the time of booking and we’ll make an adjustment to the rooming configurations accordingly.

This trip is basic camping and consists of portable, easy to erect, dome tents. We provide comfortable swags (canvas bedroll including 2 inch mattresses). You can either bring your own sleeping bag or purchase one from us. Pillows are not provided so you can bring your own if you wish.

This trip is specifically designed to embrace the outback and provide an authentic camping experience. Eight out of the nine nights have basic toilet and shower facilities, however on nights 3 and 4 we stay in the remote Purnululu National Park where only basic long-drop toilet facilities are available. Shower facilities are not available on these nights. Please ensure this level of camping is suitable for you.
