If you’re dreaming of a truly unique Australian experience – one that’s rich in adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and a touch of outback luxury – the Darwin to Perth escorted motorhome tour with Gallivanting Oz might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
This isn’t just any road trip. It’s a carefully curated journey along one of Australia’s most remote and awe-inspiring routes – and it’s designed specifically with comfort, confidence and camaraderie in mind for travellers, unsually around the 55 – 75 age group.
