What the customers are saying:

​

What an absolutely awesome tour! To get a true showing of Outback Australia. The roads Aussie Bike or Hike team chose for this trip and the places we saw along the way were awesome. Every motel was good, and Alex is a legend of a guide.

​

The reason I chose these guys is they arranged everything for us. All I had to do each day was ride and enjoy a beer at the end of the day. I didn't need to plan where we would eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I didn't need to plan where the fuel stops would be, and I didn't need to plan if roads were closed or open. The Aussie Bike or Hike team did that. And if I broke down, they would help me get sorted. So I was stress-free. These guys should charge double for the great service they offer.

This land was once the ancestral home of the Yandrumandha, Dieri, and Yarrawarrka Aboriginal peoples before being officially declared a township in 1890. The first European to set eyes upon this realm was none other than Charles Sturt in 1845, paving the way for the legendary expeditions of Burke and Wills in 1861. Their memory is immortalized by a monument in Innamincka, a poignant tribute erected in 1944.

The Strzelecki Track, born in 1870 under the audacious vision of cattle thief Harry Readford, stands as a monument to human resilience and daring. His epic journey, herding a thousand cattle south from Queensland, gave birth to this iconic route. In a twist of fate, although found guilty of cattle theft, the judge was so captivated by Harry's contribution to future pastoralists through the creation of this trail that he couldn't bear to convict him.

Here, before the plaque marking this unique meeting point, we'll raise our glasses to celebrate the phenomenal journey we've undertaken thus far. It's a monumental achievement for all the riders who have ventured this far, a momentous milestone that will linger in our memories.

Our ultimate destination, Tibooburra, will become the backdrop for a joyous celebration, a fitting tribute to the boundless enjoyment we've shared throughout this epic voyage. This evening marks our final night together as tomorrow we set sail for Broken Hill, the crescendo of an adventure that has taken us to the very heart of the Outback.
