We then get ready for an evening of sumptuous dining at one of Sydneys’ finest restaurants before retiring for the evening.
Day 2 starts with breakfast before we head out to the airport to board our corporate jet to fly into one of Australia’s iconic outback towns, Broken Hill.
After a splendid catered lunch, we head out to Silverton, an outback ghost town that some call the film location capital of Australia’s outback. Many films, including Mad Max & numerous television commercials have all been filmed here.
We spend a few hours here to capture the atmosphere of the true Aussie outback. This town has some of the regions most spectacular sunsets.
After the sun goes down, we head back to our accommodation in Broken Hill for a relaxing evening meal & a catch up of the day’s events.
Day three takes us out to the Menindee Lakes.
The Menindee Lakes are an oasis in the desert - the lakes are a haven for an astounding array of wetland birdlife and are large enough for their own sailing club!
We follow the footsteps of Burke & Wills and Cameron the Australian Surveyors. We visit Sunset Strip, Copi Hollow and the great fresh water lakes.
We travel around the grape vines and orchards, lunch at Menindee. We travel along the Darling river to Kinchega National Park and visit the Woolshed. We visit the grave of one of Burke's camel drivers before we head back to Broken Hill for our final overnight stay in the outback.
Morning tea and lunch supplied.
Day 4
Today, we enjoy an outback breakfast before checking out of our hotel.
Today, we head out to the Living Desert.
A two hour visit to the Living Desert from the City will allow us to explore the Cultural Walk Trail within the Sanctuary and Sculpture Symposium and gain an educational and cultural experience to further enhance your understanding of our Aboriginal Heritage and importance of the preservation of our environment for the benefit of future generations.
We then head back into Broken Hill to visit the Broken Hill art gallery and the gallery of iconic Australian artist Pro Hart.
From age seven, Pro loved to sketch and paint. He began taking his gift seriously in his early twenties when he first used painting as a creative outlet to keep him sane from underground life as a miner. To develop his gift, Pro attended a few local art classes but is mainly self-taught. He was discovered in 1962 by a gallery director in Adelaide. From there his success as an artist began to flourish.
At the Pro Hart gallery you are able to view the works created over the years by Pro as he has experimented with different techniques and styles. Collectors are able to purchase original paintings and works on paper for their own collections.
On completion of our visit, we head off to the Broken Hill Railway Station to prepare for our overnight return journey to Sydney aboard one of the worlds greatest train journeys.
Settle into your First Class sleeper carriage before enjoying our final dinner aboard the Red Diner.
