The Painted Desert Tour

Coober Pedy, South Australia

The Outback Mail Run is now delivering mail to the north-west of Coober Pedy and you are invited to join the journey! Departing every Saturday from Coober Pedy, travel through the stunning Painted Desert in Outback South Australia. This one day tour heads north on the Kempe Road, revealing the Moon Plains, pastoral country, and ultimately the breathtaking Arckaringa Hills. This mesmerising landscape, shaped over millions of years by ancient seas and erosion, boasts vibrant colours, majestic mesas, and unique geological formations. Led by experienced guides, explore this remote and untouched terrain on foot, immersing in the natural beauty and encountering diverse flora and fauna. A delightful picnic lunch is served amidst the scenic hills, providing ample time to appreciate the surroundings and capture unforgettable moments. ​On the journey back to Coober Pedy, marvel at the Breakaways country, where dramatic land formations contrast against the vast desert backdrop, creating a perfect finale to the adventure. These intimate group excursions promise authenticity, camaraderie, and a profound connection to the rugged beauty of the Australian outback. Don't miss this chance to discover the magic of the Painted Desert with the Outback Mail Man.
