5 Days | Outback, NSW, Australia | 🇦🇺🦘

The Outback is an incredible place and so uniquely Australian, but unless you have weeks to explore via off-roading caravan, it’s difficult to see. We went with some family friends who own a flight tourism company Panorama Air Australia out of Bathurst, NSW (itself a cool town and a beautiful drive from Sydney through the Blue Mountains) and it was an easy and beautiful way to see a part of the country that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

The Outback is unlike anywhere else I've ever been, and so quintessentially Australian. It's truly one of those experiences that can only be had in this country. The feelings of Old West permeate even today, whether because of the mining culture or the vast stretches of open plains.

If you have a long vacation in Australia you could certainly drive it, depending on conditions. However with many roads being remote and easily washed out by rain water, many companies offer charter flights. Alternatively there are a few Qantas flights to a few key cities in the Outback, such as Broken Arrow (featured in this guide). We opted to charter a flight from Bathurst just a couple hours outside of Sydney

Bathurst in itself is a fun adventure, especially for the racing enthusiast. We happened to be in town for the Bathurst 1000 in October and my husband attended the race while I took the kids around town to some of the kid friendly museums. From there we flew out on a 3 night adventure in the Outback with our guides Charlie and Tam, owners and pilots with Panair Bathurst.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Objects In Motion

Available for hire

I am a Southern California native, mother of two, military spouse and travel lover currently located in Naples, Italy. I’ve lived and visited many different places and I hope that my travels will help you plan your next great adventure! My guides focus on travel that the whole family can enjoy and feature some of the great places the military has sent us, as well as our own travels. Having lived in many different places, I have local knowledge of a wide variety of places. Two of my favorite recent travels are a month long family trip to Australia and Singapore and a multi-generational Caribbean cruise. I love that some of my kids first core memories will be of our international travels. It is so heart warming to watch them make friends at a foreign playground and having an interaction with a person that doesn’t speak their same language. Now, living in Italy we have many more opportunities for travel, both throughout Europe and locally near Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We have enjoyed discovering new foods, exploring language and culture. My youngest has an egg allergy that we manage so food and language intertwine often.
