Gympie Muster Itinerary from Perth is All Inclusive

We leave Perth to commence our journey across Australia to the Gympie Muster, travelling through Southern Cross we arrive at the Super Pit Mine Site at Kalgoorlie-Boulder, where we can view the enormity of the operating gold mine. This opencast mine is big enough to be seen from space! It is on some of the richest gold-bearing earth in the world. We continue onto Norseman for our first night together. L/D

Today we commence our drive across the Nullarbor Plain itself, staying at Eucla for the night. Keep your eyes open for characteristic signs indicating the breadth of the Australian continent on this great road journey. B/L/D

Leaving Eucla and crossing the border into South Australia we spend the night at Wudinna. B/L/D

We travel through Port Augusta and Peterborough arriving in NSW staying at Broken hill for the night. B/L/D

A fair bit of driving today - leaving Broken Hill we end up at Gilgandra for the night. We notice quite a contrast in the change of scenery along the way. B/L/D

Today is a free day for you to do whatever you like at your own expense. You may want to just sit and relax in the sunshine that the Gold Coast is well known for, or take in one of the Amusement Parks like Dreamworld or Sea World or if you want to get wet there is WhiteWater World or Wet 'n' Wild. B/L/D

After early starts the last few days we get a bit of a sleep in today with only a couple of hundred kilometres to go before we arrive at Gympie. We reach Gympie Muster in time for lunch, set up camp and then enjoy the show. B/L/D

We pack up Sunday afternoon to beat the chaos on Monday morning trying to get out of the festival and drive 300km to Dalby for our fist night on the way home. B/L/D

Leaving Dalby we arrive at Warrumbungle National Park for the night. Tomorrow morning we will spend a few hours exploring this beautiful region of volcanic plugs and dykes exposed after the volcanic cones have eroded. Fantastic views of the entire park and mountains are seen from the numerous bushwalks available. Probably the most popular view is The Breadknife — it is a narrow rock sliver, formed when magma forced its way through a long crack in the bedrock beneath the ancient Warrumbungle volcano. The surrounding stone has been eroded over millions of years leaving a narrow spur about 600 metres long and 100 metres high. B/L/D.

We need to leave by 10am, and then we call into Parkes and see “The Telescope”. Since its opening in 1961, the 64 metre radio telescope was made famous for its reception of the television images of the first moon walk in 1969. The fictional film “The Dish” was loosely based on the role that Parkes played in the Apollo 11 crew moon walk. B/L/D

This morning after a few hours drive we reach Hay and Shear Outback where we spend a couple of hours at the Australian Shearers Hall of Fame. From here we travel to Mildura for the night. B/L/D

We arrive in the Barossa Valley about lunch time, just in time to visit a couple of wineries, including a visit to a Chateau winery where we can admire the grand architecture and ornate gardens while sipping a glass. B/L/D

A unique experience this morning will be our visit to the Whispering Wall. This is the retaining wall for the Barossa Reservoir, with excellent views of the surroundings. A perfect ellipse, the shape of the wall allows words whispered at one end to be heard clearly at the other end, 140 m away. We travel back through Port Augusta to Wudinna for our nights stay. B/L/D

We leave Wudinna this morning visiting The Great Australian Bight and Bunda Cliffs, arriving at Eucla for night. B/L/D

This morning we start back across the Nullarbor (meaning no trees in Latin). The Nullarbor Plain extends approximately 650 km from east to west that includes Australia’s longest straight stretch of road being 145 km. We make our way to Norseman for the night, where we will eat out for our "last supper" together. B/L/D
