An immersive expedition to the ancient and rugged Ikara-Flinders Ranges, fully hosted by expert guides for three to four nights.

A true outback expedition for the intrepid traveller, this voyage takes guests for three to four nights into one of the most vast, ancient, and spiritual places in all of Australia—the Ikara-Flinders Ranges. You’ll be accompanied through the region by locals who live and breathe the space: distinguished Flinders specialist Brendon Bevan, or fourth-generation lifelong residents Di and Ian Fargher, all of whom offer encyclopaedic knowledge of this remarkable, semi-arid region.

This is an adventure for those seeking authentic engagement with flexibility to suit your interests. Each day is built with the guidance of your hosts to create a truly personalised, immersive journey. You’ll get hands on with station life, uncover the pastoral history of the region, get into nature and up close and personal with wildlife, and much more. Experience the stoic, rugged vastness of Ikara-Flinders Ranges, and be welcomed into local’s space, revealing secrets that would be missed without their knowledge. This is an unmissable expedition into the land that inspired famed artist Hans Heysen’s groundbreaking landscapes.

Enjoy Your Personalised Odyssey… 

With your own family or friends

Designed with intimacy in mind and perfect for families or groups of friends, you’ll tour exclusively with seven of your nearest and dearest. Choosing your own group and travelling with familiar faces enables you to enjoy your journey from the very first moment. 

In your own space

There’s no cattle class here. All locations, experiences, and transfers* are completely private. Privileged access and intimate experiences ensure your absolute safety and privacy, while still remaining authentic. 

In your own time

Each day is adapted to your needs—forget scheduled departure times and by-the-numbers sightseeing. Spontaneity is welcomed, and your personal whims, wishes, and desires are shaped by your guide into truly one of-a-kind experiences wherever you are. 

With genuine characters

Meet hand-picked locals whose very roots are intertwined with the region. You’ll take a seat at the table with families whose passions span several generations, and a range of characters who will welcome you into their everyday lives with genuine enthusiasm. 

With your own personal guide/s

Your personal guide is there to elevate your experience without intrusion from arrival to departure. Both in tune with the surrounding environment and your own needs, they’ll freely share their knowledge of and passion for each area to enhance your journey. 

With The Tailor standard

As Australia’s premier luxury and five-star experiential travel company, we know the finest experiences. We’ve hand-picked the best available accommodation, and, teamed it with the best local cuisine and beverages in each region to elevate every single moment. 

Highlights

Your stay in the region is fully hosted by an expert who lives and breathes the landscape. Available hosts range from passionate, acclaimed conservationists to home-grown, world-class locals who offer generations of lived experience in the region.

Lisa is the founder of on-site catering company Epicurean Tucker Box, which combines country hospitality with a diverse range of international cuisines with Australian influences to fuel your days of outback exploration.

The Region

A primordial landscape where red earth meets the Milky Way, the Flinders Ranges welcomes guests into its space with a vast, ancient gaze—all while remaining immense, indifferent, and splendid. Venture into nature by 4WD, foot or plane, discover the history and lifestyle of the region’s pastoralists at outback stations, observe the country’s dynamic and varied wildlife and birdlife in their natural habitat, and discover first-hand with the magnificent complexity and beauty of the region with the assistance of your hosts.
