Truly one of the world’s greatest road trips, the Explorers Way traverses the entirety of the expansive Australian continent.
The Explorers Way is remarkable for just how much it transitions from a coastal, Mediterranean climate in the south, through arid desert landscapes in the centre, to the tropical climate of the far north.
Travel from Darwin to Adelaide or vice versa and see everything in between. The route pushes through what was the greatest barrier to early European travellers; the deserts and vast salt pans, and the cruel irony of country that would flood in winter yet desiccate in summer. For the Aboriginal people that have inhabited and prospered in this country for tens of thousands of years, this is a land which sustains them and shapes the oldest living culture in the world.
