Perth to Adelaide 10 Day Adventure Tour

Leave Perth early and head southeast into the Wheatbelt as the city gives way to farmland and country towns. First stop is Wellington Dam and the world's largest dam mural, painted straight onto the wall in the forested setting of Wellington National Park. Lunch in Collie, with a wander along its mural trail of more than forty large artworks. By late afternoon you arrive at Wave Rock, the giant curved granite wave. Camp nearby, share dinner and roll out your swag for the first night.

Start with the Wave Rock Circuit Walk, which takes you beyond the wave itself through rock formations, salt lakes and native bushland. Head east as the dry inland country shifts towards the coast, stopping in Ravensthorpe for colourful silo art and Esperance for supplies and your first proper look at the Southern Ocean. Set up camp right near the beach at Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park: white sand, clear turquoise water and kangaroos on the shoreline. The evening is yours.

Wake with the beach a short walk from camp, and kangaroos possibly wandering the shoreline. Early birds can climb Frenchman Peak for sweeping views to the islands of the Recherche Archipelago. The rest of the day is yours to swim the bays, walk the trails or claim a quiet stretch of sand, with barely any driving. Second night at Lucky Bay.

Leave the coast behind and start the Nullarbor crossing. After a stop in Norseman you hit the 90 Mile Straight, the longest straight stretch of road in Australia, with huge skies and endless horizons. Your guide shares stories of the region, from early explorers to remote life today. Tonight you reach a remote bush camp with no reception, no facilities and barely any artificial light, so the stars are as bright as they get on the trip.

Continue across the Nullarbor past the famous wildlife-crossing sign to the Bunda Cliffs, where the flat outback drops into the Southern Ocean along more than 200km of coastline. Cross the Dingo Fence and travel through Yalata Aboriginal lands to the small outback town of Penong, known for its giant windmills and laid-back feel. There is the option to head to the local pub for dinner before settling into camp.

Grab lunch in town, then continue south along the Eyre Peninsula coast to Coodlie Park Farm Retreat, with outdoor swag huts and resident animals. Dinner is around the campfire, with optional stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Australia.

Start early for the optional Baird Bay swim with wild Australian sea lions and bottlenose dolphins, by boat into sheltered water. Nothing is staged and nothing is fed: the sea lions are playful and curious and the dolphins move through the bay nearby. If you are not swimming, relax around Baird Bay until the group regathers. Lunch is included for swimmers, then you head south past remote beaches, rugged cliffs and quiet coastal towns to Camp Nyroca, surrounded by bushland and birdlife.
