Group adventuresNowadays, travel packages in the Australian Outback are usually offered in organised small group adventures.

Experienced tour guides will lead your pack while dishing out tidbits of information and trivia about the signts along the way.
Rule of thumb: Stick to the group and stick to marked paths so you don't get lost.
Wear it WiseAustralia's Outback gets extremely hot throughout the day, and then plunges into a deep cold overnight. Because of this, pack a selection of clothes that's lightweight and cotton (for the day), long, when hiking in the bush or trekking through unknown grassland. Of course, if you intend to cap your day at a campfire in the open air of the night, get into some warm fleece trousers and woollen pullovers.
Swap your sandals for more hardy and protective boots. Also a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses will protect you from severe Aussie sun. Needless,lavish yourself with a sunscreen of at least SPF30.
Rule of thumb: Slip, slop, slap. Slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat!
