My husband and I went on a holiday with The Offroad Tradies Outback NSW Tag-Along tour to Cameron corner
and the Sturt desert.
The holiday took in outback towns full of old ruins, museums, local art and beautiful old pubs. We were able to get off the main track onto Private properties organised by Luke, Curl and Angela.
One of the highlights of being able to do this was seeing Aboriginal art and campgrounds untouched by tourism. It was as though the first inhabitants were coming back that night to pick up tools and prepare dinner. The wildflowers were so beautiful and extensive it was hard to take it all in.
At the end of each day there were beautiful meals prepared by the Offroad Tradies team while we sat back, relaxed and had a few beers and a yarn by the fire. Breakfast and lunch were also provided which meant that we didn’t have to worry about carrying food with us other than a few snacks and drinks.
We were quite inexperienced with 4WD driving but Luke and Curl talked us through the basics and took us on amazing 4wd adventures which were just so much fun.
As a lover of history, I enjoyed following in the steps of Sturt and his explorers on their journey to find an inland sea visiting Sturt’s tree, National parks and historical sites to name a few. While travelling the chatter between vehicles on the 2way radios was a constant source of laughter and entertainment.
I would recommend this experience to anyone that would like to see the wonders of the Australian outback in a safe friendly hassle free environment. From families to singles young old or in between. We took our camper trailer, but a sleeping bag or swag is all you need.
Do yourself a favour and give the team a call you won’t regret ticking one of their tag along tours off your list.
