Let our expert guide lead you along "The Loneliest 4WD Track in the World" on a challenging 4WD outback adventure... independent but not alone! We'll take 20 days to explore this historic cattle route and the numerous wells which have been constructed along it. We'll have time to take side trips to various points of interest (i.e. Aboriginal art, lookout points etc.) & to relax & enjoy our surroundings. We'll spend two nights in one camping area on two, or possibly three, occasions to give everyone a much-needed break and let us fully appreciate this wild and remote area. The Canning can be done in a shorter timeframe, but we don't want to rush this unique experience. We want to enjoy the scenery and minimise any possible vehicle damage. We are also very environmentally conscious and want to leave the track in the same, or better, condition than we found it. The tour is self-catering. Vehicles must be robust and reliable and carry two spare tyres (please note that any vehicle repairs or recovery will be at client's own cost). For environmental and track sustainability reasons we will take a maximum of ten vehicles and camper trailers will not be permitted. No children under 16 please. For communication purposes, a vehicle-mounted two-way radio with externally mounted antenna is mandatory - BYO or hire one from us at special rates. We also strongly suggest a dune flag for each vehicle. You will be required to carry adequate supplies of water, food and fuel as we will need to be completely self-sufficient. Planning and preparation is extremely important on this tour. Our expedition will run from south to north from Wiluna to Halls Creek. We will camp in bush camps & stay at caravan parks in Wiluna & Halls Creek (please provide your own camping gear). Please note that once we get on the track there are no showers, shops, cafés, hotels, medical or other facilities. Bush toilets have been built at some of the restored wells (which are few and far between!), but on most occasions, a walk into the scrub is required. Please bring a spade and biodegradable toilet paper with you. Your Tour Guide will be Charles (Charlie) Gilbert, a Senior Tour Guide with Global Gypsies and an experienced outback traveler and four-wheel-driver. He knows the Canning well, has some great bush yarns to tell & makes a pretty mean damper! We hope you join us on this great adventure! ![]()
