An excellent, well organised trip. Our driver/guide, Sarah Ellis, was an absolute treasure. The trip had to be rejigged to allow for the road closures, but we didn’t miss anything. Underground accommodation in Coober Pedy, the opportunity to fly over both North and South Lake Eyre, the bone shaking Ridgetop 4 wheel drive from Arkaroola, and a helicopter ride over Wilpena Pound. Local artists, baby kangaroos, indigenous history, and time to wander along tracks through towering gum trees made for a wonderful experience. Our accommodation was very comfortable- and varied. To see the “red” desert covered in a carpet of green after the rain was special. Thoroughly recommend the trip.Show more
