Red Centre Roaming
Time to stop dreaming about it and just do it – with Campfire Escapes.
We’re off to the Red Centre to take in the major icons and explore some lesser known ones. This is Ernest Giles country, and John McDouall Stuart, and Len Beadell to name a few. All did the hard yards for us to follow past gigantic time-worn landforms, to river gorges carved into the landscape, to rockholes nestled in ranges evoking stories of the Dreamtime that links the land to the stars.
Over 17 days we’ll cruise across the Great Central Road to Kata Tjuta and Uluru, then up the Larapinta where you’ll definitely need 4wd and low tyre pressures. Then after a restock and run at the Alice we’ll take in the West MacDonnells bearing west to Sandy Blight and an opportunity to mount Sir Frederick.
On a background as old as the Dreamtime we’ll follow Len Beadell’s perambulations across the Central deserts, touch on the Gunbarrel and explore an Aboriginal site before a small immersion into the goldmining history of Western Australia. And somewhere in there we’ll fit our trademark ‘Mad Hatter’s Dinner Party’.
If all that whets your roaming whistle, lock yourself in for our trip of 2025 deep into the Outback.
Camper trailers are welcome but spots on this trip will be limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Wildflower Photography Escape
You would think that wildflowers and cameras were the perfect match, but how often does that broad, blazing sweep of colour that stops you in your tracks, translate into ‘Ho-hum’ on the bigger screen? Out of focus, shadows everywhere, composition lacking.
It’s out there, in the moment that hints and tips from a professional photographer can bring you up to speed and help you produce images that ‘pop’ and inspire on screen or even framed on your wall.
Enter Campfire Escapes with an opportunity to help you produce images you’ll be proud of.
On Thursday the 29th of August we’ll be venturing into the best of the Midwest for four days of photographic bliss in a landscape full of grandeur and promise to bring out the photographer in all of us.
You’ll be camped under the stars, warmed by the campfire and the company of like-minded happy snappers as we review the day’s effort on the big screen.
All you need is your camera, your 4WD and your sense of adventure (and maybe enough nibbles to sustain yourself for four days in the bush).
