APT's Outback Heritage Tour

APT's Outback Heritage Tour

To mark APT's centenary, prepare for a dedicated departure of this extraordinary journey through the heart of Australia, travelling from Alice Springs to Melbourne. Taking inspiration from an original APT camping tour itinerary, you'll journey along a route rich in history and deeply entwined with APT’s own story. From the iconic Red Centre, traverse ancient landscapes shaped by time — soaring escarpments, dramatic gorges and waterfalls spilling into pristine rock pools. At Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park, stand before the world’s largest monolith and sense the profound spiritual significance of this timeless land. Cross into South Australia to Coober Pedy, where life unfolds beneath the earth in remarkable underground dwellings. Watch the scenery transform from desert plains to riverlands as you follow the mighty Murray River to Mildura, the hub for APT's original camping tours, before concluding your journey in Melbourne.
