A 6-Day Journey Through Australia's Ancient Lakes, Wetlands & Waterways
$2,950 per person | Departing Mildura, VIC | Small-Group Guided Expedition
13-18 February 2027

Discover a side of the Australian outback few travellers ever experience.

The Outback Lakes Expedition is a 6-day immersive journey through some of Australia's most remarkable inland lake systems, combining canoe adventures, wildlife encounters, bushwalking, native bush food discovery, and remote bush camping. Travelling through iconic national parks and ancient landscapes, you'll explore waterways that have shaped life in the outback for thousands of years.

From the vast Menindee Lakes and the ancient Willandra Lakes region to the bird-rich wetlands of Yanga and the tranquil Hattah Lakes system, this expedition reveals a striking contrast to the red deserts and open plains often associated with outback Australia.

Over six unforgettable days, you'll explore a collection of unique lake systems, wetlands, rivers, and floodplains that support an extraordinary diversity of wildlife and plant life across far western New South Wales and north-west Victoria.

Highlights include:

  • Twilight canoeing on the spectacular Menindee Lakes

  • Exploring the ancient Willandra Lakes landscape at Mungo National Park

  • Canoeing and birdwatching on the tranquil waters of Yanga Lake

  • Bushwalking and paddling through the beautiful Hattah Lakes system

  • Discovering native bush foods

  • Experiencing remote bush camping beneath star-filled outback skies

The Outback Lakes Expedition reveals a different side of inland Australia—one shaped by water, wetlands, wildlife, and ancient lake systems that support life across some of the country's most remarkable landscapes.

Places are strictly limited to maintain a quality small-group experience and maximise opportunities for wildlife encounters, photography, and time on the water.

Join us this September and discover the lakes, waterways, and ancient landscapes that make Australia's inland regions unlike anywhere else on Earth.
