Day 5 - Stonehenge to Barcaldine - We cross the Tropic of Capricorn on our way to the small grazing town (pop. 106) of Muttaburra, located on the Thompson River, also known for the discovery of the Muttaburrasaurus dinosaur, some 12 metres long and weighing 15 tonnes. Click now for more. . . .
Day 3 - Copley to Birdsville - Today we tiptoe a path up the iconic Birdsville Track between the Tirari and Strzelecki Deserts and the Sturt Stony Desert, as we pass through the old Ghan town of Marree, to have lunch at Mungeranie Hotel and Roadhouse. The towns are few and far between in this part of the Outback, and we will still see glimpses of the historic Ghan train line that followed the route of the original overland telegraph line, before the train line was moved in 1980.

Day 2 - Broken Hill to Copley - Breakfast this morning is at Silverton, a town that once was home to 3,000 people in the 1890’s, when silver was first discovered in the area. Today’s 50 residents enjoy a much more relaxed atmosphere and the town is now better known as the home to movies such as the Mad Max series, and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Day 1 : Hay to Broken Hill - As any Trek veteran will tell you, a good Trek is about the people, the towns and the roads, and on day one we will experience the best each of these ingredients has to offer. We only travel 6 klms before we experience the first dirt road of the week, as we head across One Tree Plain towards Clare Public School, then along the bed of Lake Garnpang in the Mungo Scrub World Heritage Listed National Park, before we stop for lunch in Pooncarie.
