    10 Day Simpson Desert - Hay River Tour


    The Hay River track is in the once closed Northern Simpson Desert. Located within the driest region of the Australian continent, the Simpson Desert is one of the world's best examples of an erg or dunal desert, a sea of parallel red sand ridges some 300 to 500 kilometres long covering a total area of more than 170,000 square kilometres. This tour travels perhaps the remotest track in the entire desert, running from Peoppel corner, north along the Queensland/ Northern Territory border then along the dry remnant river bed of the ancient Hay River. The Hay River trip is one you will remember and talk about for a lifetime.
