This 56-page itinerary from Sydney to Alice Springs offers a quintessential Australian outback adventure, taking travelers through a mix of sprawling farmland, dusty plains, and endless horizons.
 
Leaving the city of Sydney behind, the journey crosses the Great Dividing Range - stopping in the Blue Mountains and Bathurst, before winding through outback NSW. Here, the landscape transitions from golden wheatfields and grazing country to red earth and sparse scrub, with the horizon stretching seemingly forever.
 
Crossing into outback Queensland, the road take us deeper into the heart of the outback, where towns like Cunnamulla, Longreach and Winton showcase the rugged spirit of the outback.
 
Throughout the journey, caravan travelers are treated to the expansive sky, dramatic sunsets, and the quiet rhythm of the road, culminating at Alice Springs - the red heart of Australia.
