The Outback Australia Travel Guide Is
A Guide To The Real Australian Outback

This Australian Outback travel guide is written by a real person, who has a very real life here out back.

That's why the guide covers a lot more than the usual tourist attractions in Outback Australia (although it covers those as well).

The Australia Travel Guide contains everything I've discovered and learned over the years, living and travelling in the Outback of Australia:

• You will see that the Australian Outback is not all desert (with one big rock and a few kangaroos...), far from it. And it's not as dangerous as they make you believe.

• Learn about our snakes, discover the myths about our spiders, and find out how to stay alive amongst our crocodiles.

• Read how to avoid the tourist crowds in Kakadu,

• learn about the issues surrounding the Ayers Rock climb,

• and find out how to cut costs at Uluru.

• Find a cheap flight, a free camp site, a job, and another 1397 useful tips. (At least!)

You can also check out what other readers think, and add your own thoughts, tips, photos and experiences.

Thirteen Years In The Australian Outback And Counting...

The Australian Outback has been my home for over thirteen years. I get seriously homesick every time I try to leave. Homesick although I'm not originally from Australia...

I arrived here as an Australia traveller myself, backpacking up and down, around and across the continent, usually on my own (though I hadn't planned it that way...)

What happened then was that I fell hopelessly in love with the Outback, and stayed.

I created the Outback Australia Travel Guide to show you why, and to help you with the preparation for your own trip.

The Australian Outback is more beautiful than you ever imagined, to travel here gives you a sense of space and freedom you never thought possible, and it is nowhere near as dangerous as they try to make you believe.

All you need is enough information, and a reasonable measure of common sense. I like to think that I can offer you plenty of both, so lets get started.

How to find your way around
the Australian Outback (Guide)

The navigation column to the left (top) contains links to all the major sections of the Outback Australia Travel Guide, and I think the titles are self explanatory. You also find links to all the same sections at the bottom of this page, together with a short explanation of what you can find in each section.

At the top left of each page, right below the Australian Outback picture, you find a "breadcrumb" trail that tells you where exactly you are within the site. If you ever get lost just click "Home" and you'll end up back here.

If you are looking for specific information use the search box below the navigation on your left. You find it on every page. To use it just enter the precise word or term you are looking for and click "Search". You will be taken to a list of pages that contain your chosen word or phrase. And if all else fails you can even use that box to search the web.

There is a lot more here than you will be able to see on one trip. So before you plan your travel to Australia in detail take some time and explore your options.

Explore this Australia travel guide, and when you set out for the big Australian Outback trip you will know exactly how and where you want to go.

I hope I will make Outback Australia come alive in your imagination, and when you visit I hope you will love it as much as I do.
