Adelaide - Darwin: The Explorer's Way
Here’s a journey every adventurer dreams of - to the outback and beyond. Following the route of one of Australia’s famous explorers we enjoy the best of South Australia before heading into the Red Centre and finally reaching Darwin at the top end of Australia.
The Explorer's Way follows the route of John McDouall Stuart, a famous Australian explorer who was the first to traverse the continent in 1862. This drive takes in many of Australia's best-known icons, including the Flinders Ranges, Alice Springs, Uluru (Ayers Rock) (as a detour), and Darwin.
