What happens if my flights are delayed?
There is no stress or concern if your flight is delayed or issues arise on the way - we have a 2 day cleaning and repair 'layover' at each location where the Tour Leader and any of the group continuing enjoy the location and run repairs / errands etc. Try arrive on Day 1 and Find us - we use 'Whatts App" location settings to track progress, and we are always findable via Phone app. Trip Planning - If your doing a double leg - The Laydays are an excellent opportunity to head off solo on some side journeys.
A Single Leg or a Double ?

The Central Australian "Half way point" of "Ulraru' or 'Ayers Rock' has a world class airport and offers 4.5 star Hotel Accommodation - It is iteslf is a major International Tourist Destination.
Both Ends of The Full Crossing (Melbourne to Darwin or Darwin to Melbourne) have International Airports accepting Direct Flights from many International Countries. In Total doing the total crossing one way is a 16 Day Trip. (2 Day Layover at Uluru. ) You would be mad to miss at least a couple of days in Melbourne Before hand and a couple of Days in Darwin Afterward. A 20 Day trip would be ideal to plan for.
