Itinerary

Day One (L, D)

Our Eyre Peninsula and Flinders Ranges Tour begins as we depart early from Adelaide the morning, stopping for a quick coffee in the well-known wine region of Clare Valley. We continue the tour onwards to the Southern Flinders Ranges National Park where we stretch our legs with a walk at Alligator Gorge. Lunch will be provided in Quorn, home of the PichiRichi Railway. A guided walk to Dutchman’s Stern will follow lunch, before we head to our first night’s camp at Warren Gorge.

Day Two (B, L, D)

Today we arrive in the Eyre Peninsula, one of Australia’s hidden gems. The area is a spectacular landscape of red rock ranges and stunning beaches, with a large range of native wildlife. Being a bit off the beaten path, very few tourists visit the area, but as you will discover – they are missing out! The Eyre Peninsula offers many significant photo opportunities, including the Big Galah, an eight-meter high fibreglass structure, located in the town of Kimba. We’ll have a quick lunch stop, prior to continuing our journey back on the road on route to Venus Bay, Talia Caves and the Lake Newland Sand Dunes. Accommodation for the night, will be located at Coodlie Park, where we enjoy a night’s stay on a working farm.

Day Three (B, L, D)

On day three we may join up with the group coming from Perth on route to Adelaide. We head off for a swim at Baird Bay, where we will witness beautiful sea lions and dolphins. The Eyre Peninsula is well known for its water wildlife, and this will allow you to either swim, snorkel, or splash around with the sea lions and dolphins on a 3-hour cruise. This highly recommend tour is optional and can be added for $160 – an experience you will treasure forever.

Once we wrap up this 3-hour cruise, we adventure onwards to Murphy’s Haystacks, well known for its granite rock formations which have formed into unusual shapes over their millions of years of existence. Concluding day three, we head back to Coodlie Park Bush Camp.

Day Four (B, L, D)

On day four, we travel along the Great Ocean Tourist Drive toward Elliston. On the way, we take in the surreal cliffs of Locks Well, prior to continuing on route to Port Lincoln for lunch. We have time to have a discover the town before we set up camp at Mikkira Station. You’ll sleep on this private campground surrounded by eucalyptus trees and native koalas.

Day Five (B, L, D)

Day five tests the fears of participants on the tour, as you will have the opportunity to swim with Great White Shark (own expense). For those who are not keen on swimming with the sharks, you may decide to visit the remains of an old whaling station, whose grounds are home to kangaroos and emus. We’ll have lunch in the Lincoln National Park prior to stopping at Glen Forest Wildlife Park to feed some of the native wildlife. Everyone meets up again in the afternoon and we visit the Wadlata Cultural Centre together. Here we will enjoy a leisurely stroll amongst the life of the new frontier pioneers of South Australia before heading to Mt Remarkable to set up camp.

Day Six (B, L)

Our final day sees us on the home stretch, with arrival into Adelaide being the final stop on the tour. We travel to a few of South Australia’s pioneer mining towns including Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo. We arrive in Adelaide and say goodbye to all our new friends from the Eyre Peninsula and Flinders Range Tour.
