Australia: The Outback
From Golden-shouldered Parrot, Red Goshawk and White-streaked Honeyeater in the woodlands of central Cape York, Carpentarian Grasswren, Rufous-crowned Emuwren, and Pictorella Mannikin around Mount Isa, all the way down to Letter-winged Kite, Grey Grasswren, and Gibberbird in the remote Strzelecki Desert. We cover a huge portion of Queensland aiming to target some of the most out-of-the-way endemics that Australia has to offer.

We will be using three kitted-out 4WD vehicles carrying extra tires, fuel, and water, with two very well-travelled Australians who are used to remote outback adventures, and a Spanish man who desperately wants to see Letter-winged Kite. Most importantly, a maximum of three clients in each vehicle so that the very long drives are not uncomfortable!
Accommodation:
All comfortable hotels. Possibly use of a shared bathroom for two nights at Portland Roads depending on availability of rooms.
Walking difficulty:
All easy, but sometimes walks through the desert for a kilometre or two are required to get close to some species.
Tour cost includes:
All accommodation, main meals, drinking water, internal flights (as stated in itinerary), overland transport, tips to local drivers and guides, travel permits, entrance fees, and guide fees.
Tour cost excludes:
Flights before and after the tour start/end, visa, travel insurance, tips to tour leaders, laundry, drinks, and other items of a personal nature.
