AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK MUSIC TOUR 2009 The Sights of the Outback by day — The Music of the Outback by night! click here to download brochure click here to download booking form The Australian Outback Music Tour will take place from Friday 17 April 2009 to Friday 1 May 2009. This is our 6th annual Australian Outback Music Tour. The tour is a comprehensive sightseeing tour of a wonderful part of Australia's outback, with musical entertainment, sing-a-longs, and bush poetry in the evenings. The tour is also very interesting in terms of Australian history. A large part of the tour - up to about Birdsville - follows fairly closely the route taken by the Burke and Wills Expedition in 1860-61 We visit the famous Dig Tree. We also visit Depot Glen, a shaded waterhole oasis near Tibooburra. Depot Glen was an important campsite for Charles Sturt's expedition in 1845.   An important feature of the tour is that we travel in a luxury, air conditioned coach, suitable for the type of roads we encounter during the tour. Also, we stay in hotel and motel accommodation throughout the tour. It is not a camping tour. We stay in some very interesting accommodation: the Grand Hotel and Mildura Hotel in Mildura; the Underground Dug-out Motel in White Cliffs; four outback hotels full of character (and characters), including two of Australia's most famous and historic pubs, the Birdsville Hotel and the Innamincka Hotel , and two extremely interesting establishments in the Flinders Ranges - the Arkaroola Wildlife Sanctuary & Resort, and the Wilpena Pound Resort For detailed itinerary, see the brochure which appears on this website.
