Who travels with us
Is this tour for me.
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 45, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture.
Our tours are for those wanting to really explore Australia and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience.
The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings.
As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
What type of groups go on these tours?
Onboard our tours there are usually around 5 - 24 people ( depending on the tour and destination ). Lost In Australia's travellers want to explore the country and develop a real sense for the land, nature and its people. We travel in small groups which allows us to get from destination to destination quickly and effortlessly whilst being flexible and free!
Is it ok to travel alone on one of these tours?
We have many travellers jumping onboard our tours by themselves. Those travelling by themselves are very much welcomed and encouraged. During your outback adventure you'll meet new and interesting people and forge relationships that will last a life time.
Those who do travel by themselves will probably be sharing a room with a travelling companion of the same sex, but even if you do get your own room, you won't be charged extra. For camping tours, generally there are enough tents available that you can have your own if you choose to.
For more information please contact us directly.
Is there an age limit?
We get a large range of travellers from all over the world and from a very large age range. We get people of all ages joining these trips; generally our travellers vary between 21 - 45 though we also get many happy travellers in their 60s and 70s. Some tours however have a restriction on children under the age of 16 - 18. This will depend on the destination so please email us for more info.
Cost and Fees
Will i need additional money.
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?

How our guests felt:
I wanted to thank you both for the trip over the last two weeks. It was quite a journey and I really appreciated your efforts to make it a special one for us all. As it was my first time in this unique part of our country I feel privileged to have experienced it with your guidance and expertise. Your passion for this part of the country, the landscape, the people, the flora and fauna is obvious and it was wonderful to be able to share it with you." - Helen VIC
"I have travelled on some splendid bush tours with John and Ros Thompson who personally run a small specialist touring company. It is highly professional and very friendly. The first trip was a memorable journey to the Corner Country, out where the borders of three States meet, where Burke and Wills died at the Dig Tree at Cooper Creek. Then, the Thompson’s took us on an exploration of the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, up to Lake Eyre, the Painted Desert and the Red Centre, visiting vast outback stations, the most ancient Nilpena fossil fields, Parachilna, Leigh Creek, Marree and Coober Pedy. What is great about a Nature Bound Tour is the Thompson's superb knowledge of flora, fauna, water, history and the legends of the bush. The dialogue is highly educational and fascinating.” - Everald AUS

Aboard the Ghan: Gaz chats about his luxe outback adventure across Australia
In August 1929, an eager crowd gathered at Adelaide Railway Station to witness the first journey of The Ghan to Alice Springs. It was the start of an epic service that captivates travellers to this day.

The Ghan's early days were challenging, with the steam-hauled train battling extreme conditions like flash floods and intense heat, often leading to irregular service.
One time, the train was stranded for two weeks, with the engine driver resorting to shooting wild goats to feed the passengers.
This year, the famous train service, which now runs right through to Darwin , offers a more luxurious experience, though many onboard still feel they're on a very big adventure
Among them was loyal reader and traveller Gaz.
"We had 245 passengers on board, with The Ghan consisting of 29 carriages, one motorail and two locomotives up front doing all the work,"
After checking in the Pajero 4WD with the motorail valet. they were showered with champers and nibblies before boarding at 11am.
"We were in Berth 9, Car K so it was easy to remember: K9."

Although there had been a mix-up with their cabin request, luck was on their side as the receptionist confirmed they did indeed have a forward-facing cabin.
After the train departed at 12.15pm, Gaz said it was time for pre-lunch drink in the lounge car. The fare included all meals, alcoholic and soft drinks as well as three off-train experiences.
"When I ordered I automatically pulled out my wallet and then I remembered that everything was free, or already paid for. I just have to remember to pay for my drinks when I get off The Ghan!"
Thirty minutes after departure,Gaz and his partner were seated in the Queen Adelaide restaurant car for a sumptuous lunch.
"You had three choices of entree, main meal and dessert accompanied with a great selection of wines and beers."
Gaz said there was a great choice of mains, from crocodile dumplings and braised buffalo curry to kingfish and lamb
As the train moved through the rugged landscape, the memories of The Ghan's historic struggles seemed far away.
The three off-train excursions included in the fare added to the sense of adventure.
"There was a very nice sunset as we passed through Port Augusta and the next morning we had an early stop at Marla to watch the sunrise while chewing on a bacon egg slider (small roll)."
In Alice Springs, Gaz joined the Alice Explorer tour, visiting the Reptile Park, the School of the Air, and the historic Alice Springs Telegraph Station.
A sunset cruise through the scenic Katherine Gorge was another highlight, offering a glimpse of the wildlife that calls the Red Centre home.
As The Ghan pulled into Darwin, the Pajero was already waiting.
"We arrived about 5.15pm and by the time we disembarked my Pajero had already been unloaded and was waiting for me at the front of the station.
"I cleaned the windscreen because it was very grotty from the grimy diesel smoke emitted from the two locos.
"In fact, the entire 4WD was so dirty that the first thing I did the next morning was give it full wash before the grime did bad things to the duco."
Gaz said to ensure you get a berth on The Ghan, you must book 12 months in advance.
He said to remember that the motorail for carrying vehicles is only available on certain trains. Ensure it's included when booking if you want to take your car.
