Tailor Made December 26

The journey begins early in Kalgoorlie, where your Proudback guides meet you for a tour of the Super Pit. You'll then take the wheel of your Land Cruiser and head South. Exploring the Great Western Woodlands, you'll get your personal introduction to outback driving, led by your Proudback guides. You'll learn how to handle your Land Cruiser across different terrain, manage tyre pressures, engage four-wheel drive systems, and safely recover a vehicle if required. Training extends beyond driving. You'll learn efficient ways to communicate, manage supplies and water, and understand how Proudback ensures safety and comfort in remote environments. Feeling comfortable behind the wheels, you'll be setting up your first camp in the remote Australian Outback! As evening settles, you'll gather around the fire (if conditions allow) and enjoy your first freshly cooked bush meal under the Southern stars.

We leave our camping spot in the morning and head further South. Have fun behind the wheels. By afternoon, we enter Cape Arid National Park, where long white beaches, granite outcrops and clear Southern Ocean water define the landscape. Camp is set near the coast, with the chance to fish from shore or take a swim or snorkel before sunset..

Day 3 is a slower day, giving you time to explore Cape Arid properly. The morning starts with an extensive breakfast and may include short walks, fishing, swimming at sheltered bays or a visit to selected lookouts depending on weather and track access. The area is known for its wildlife, including wallabies, kangaroos and birdlife that move across the dunes and mallee scrub. Camp remains in the same location for another night, with dinner prepared together at the end of the day.

After packing up camp, the day begins with a back-track through Cape Arid before taking the coastal access into Cape Le Grand National Park. This route shifts between soft beach driving and inland sand tracks, offering a mix of terrain. Around lunch time, we reach the granite coastline of Cape Le Grand, known for its sheltered bays and bright turquoise water. The day focuses on the beaches and headlands around Lucky Bay, one of Western Australia's most recognisable coastal areas. Camp is set close to the beach, giving time for a walk or a swim before sunset.

Morning often brings kangaroos onto the sand in Lucky Bay, and there is time to explore the beach, swim or walk sections of the coastal track. We'll be leaving camp after lunch, spending he afternoon with further stops such as Hellfire Bay or Frenchman Peak, depending on conditions and group preference before we reach Esperance in the late afternoon. It is time to part way here, where you will spend the night in Esperance and Proudback makes it way back to Perth.
