Mallee to the Mountains Tour - Fully Accommodated (8 days/9 nights)
Having received requests for additional accommodated 4WD tours, Vic has been exploring the north west corner of Victoria in the area covered by various National Parks such as the Murray Sunset, Wyperfeld and Big Desert National Parks. This is remote Mallee country surrounded by rich farming lands, provides a contrast that is quite something to see.
The tour will commence in the large Victorian town of Mildura and initially follow the banks of the mighty Murray River to Renmark. We then criss-cross the Murray Sunset National Park through the Mallee country visiting the Pink Lakes, old salt works and following much of the Border Track between Victoria and South Australia. Then we tackle one of the most famous Victorian Desert tracks, the One-Way Border Fence track from Pinnaroo to Bordertown.
Returning north through the Big Desert and Wyperfeld National Park to Pinnaroo before crossing the same National Park to explore the large salt lakes and giant sand dunes with a very special two-night stay in a bush retreat Lodge in the heart of the National Park. To conclude this trip we will guide you to the beautiful Lake Tyrell before returning to our special bush retreat. Then leaving the national park we follow quiet country roads through vast areas of agriculture to Halls Gap visiting the amazing rock formations, mountains and waterfalls of the Grampian Mountains.
The trip provides accommodation each night with dinner and most breakfasts. Join Great Divide Tours as we explore the Mallee country of northwest Victoria.
