2020 Trips in Brief

Our finalised trips for the upcoming touring season are listed below. As usual many of the trips will depend on permissions from Land Councils and other Aboriginal bodies.

Over the last several years we have found our trips booking out or filling up exceedingly quickly with our regular travellers, folks who have done trips with us before, in some cases many trips! Now that’s wonderful for a commercial enterprise but it makes things difficult for newcomers to get onto the trips that they find most appealing. We’ll make a note about this issue on our website front page & various other spots to warn folks to contact us early, very early if think a trip with Beadell Tours is something of interest for them.

“Anne Beadell & Hann’s Track” Currently the most popular of Len’s roads, the is a 1350 km link between & Laverton in the west. This road was made over quite a few years and there is plenty of history from his diaries written as the road was cut with dozer & grader. We’ll also detour via Hann’s Track to add a little bit more adventure. This extra leg is a good set of wheel-tracks that follow the route taken by explorer Frank Hann for several years from 1903. We will rejoin the Anne Beadell Highway after completing Frank’s route. This is a very good trip for those interested in unique environments and sites of special interest.  20 days – self catered  May 1st 2020 - depart Coober Pedy S.A.  May 20th 2020 - arrive Laverton W.A.  $3200 per tag-a-long vehicle ($160/day)  1800 kms approx’ @ 95 kms per day  Longest distance between fuel = 940 kms  Diesel, Unleaded & Camper Trailers welcome - No previous desert experience required

“Centre to South” This is an interesting trip for adventurers with a keen sense of history and a liking for remote camping. Using both famous desert roads & forgotten wheel-tracks through wilderness areas we travel from the Red Centre through the to the vast Nullarbor Plain & the Myall woodlands that are some of the best camping in the country.

“South to Centre” Due to the popularity of the above trip, we have decided to run it again in reverse. See the above description. The main difference with this version is that we will do some touring in the eastern Nullarbor area before heading to Eucla and going north.
