Embark on an unparalleled outback adventure with South Australia’s Outback Mail Man, traversing rugged landscapes in the comfort of an air-conditioned 4WD vehicle.

Limited to just 10 people per trip, this personalised tour begins its journey from the renowned Opal Mining town of Coober Pedy. Accompany the Outback Mail Man as he delivers mail to historic outback towns - Oodnadatta and William Creek – and five remote cattle stations including Anna Creek Station, the world’s largest.

​

In Oodnadatta, take a break at the famous Pink Roadhouse, allowing ample time for a meal and exploration of the town, including a visit to the Railway Museum. Discover the significance of William Creek over a beer at the bar of the unique outback-bush pub, including memorabilia from the railway days, or check out the collection of rocket bits & pieces from the Woomera rocket range housed across the road in the heritage park.

    I travelled from Victoria to specifically visit the Outback mailman & what a thrill it was. Bruce knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable & a great chap to be with & is suited for this job. The goody bag was a great touch & came in very handy. The outback is a totally amazing experience. Thankyou Bruce for a very personal tour, worth every dollar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
