A Tour From the Most Easterly to the Most Westerly Point of Australia

4 Wheel Drive Coach Tour

via The Gunbarrel Road

Construction of the Gunbarrel Road began in 1955 when a team of hard working pioneers, lead by legendary Len Beadell, pushed a track through the Gibson Desert for the Woomera Weapons testing centre. Len called his party the 'Gunbarrel Crew' names so because Len tried to keep as much as possible his new road as straight as a gun barrell.

At Stonestreet's Coaches we invite you to join us on one of these great adventure tours across the continent, travelling from the most easterly to the most westerly points (or vice versa) via the Gunbarrel Highway.

Unlike the Gunbarrel Crew, we will be travelling in relative luxury aboard our air conditioned, luxury four-wheel-drive coach. Sit back and relax in your reclining seats with full lap sash seat belts enjoying all the sights through huge windows and an onboard road camera - so we miss nothing happening out the front.

Each tour will visit: Cape Byron Steep Point Chambers Pillar Dalhousie Hot Springs Uluru and Kata Tjuta Alice Springs Strzelecki Track Marree Gunbarrel Highway and heaps more.........

Historic Outback Pubs 25 June - 8 July 2011

In the Outback, it’s all about the people, the places and the pubs! Our burnished landscape is dotted with pubs—the gathering place for locals, where you’ll find ‘fair dinkum’ Australians who’ll share their stories and call you ‘cobber’. From the wide open verandas, to the walls filled with memorabilia, Aussie pubs are real life museums of times gone by. They're full of character... and full of characters. This unique tour takes in many historic watering holes and the magnificent sights along the way. Nindigully, Cunnamulla, White Cliffs, Tibooburra, Innamincka, Birdsville, Boulia, Winton, Windorah. What a tour. Read More
