Immeasurably large, wild and timeless, the barely inhabited wasteland of The Outback<\/strong> consists of beautiful expansive landscapes, spectacular national parks and sacred Aboriginal sites. Thanks to the different climate zones it covers, nature ranges from tropical rainforest to dry desert and everything in between.<\/p>\n To the west, special natural phenomena such as the bird-rich Pink Lake<\/strong>, beehive-shaped Bungle Bungles<\/strong> and The Kimberley’s<\/strong> red-coloured coast, steep cliffs, tropical grasslands and rivers can be traversed by 4×4. In the north, the perpendicular slopes, centuries-old petroglyphs, cascading waterfalls and wetlands full of wildlife rival The Top End<\/strong>, Kakadu N.P. <\/strong> and mysterious Arnhemland<\/strong>. Alice Springs <\/strong>– the most remote city in the world – is the last stop for you the spiritual and geographical heart, <\/strong>the magical desert soil of the Anangu<\/strong> where towering Olgas<\/em> above the sweltering red plains peak and the sacred Uluru <\/strong>rules. Via Coober Pedy <\/strong>– the world’s underground opal mine capital – you descend further to the southern mystical Flinders Range.<\/strong> The Aboriginal<\/strong> <\/a>Dream Time stories – woven around the creation of the 600 million-year-old mountains and gorges – have been passed on for 40,000 years.<\/p>\n For a real Outback experience, book a stay at one of the quintessentially Australian Cattle Stations<\/em><\/strong>, self-sustaining cattle farms on farmland that cover areas of entire nations. Join the daily life of the ranch and help herd by helicopter, motorbike or horseback. While driving cattle you feel the adrenaline flowing, the dust on your skin and the sweat on your back. Other days you will wander through the beautiful wild nature and lose yourself in the immensity of The Outback.
