点评:Finally seeing so many iconic outback places we've only viewed in documentaries and books so far in our 70 odd years was a dream come true. It gives a real sense of place whenever any of these locations come up on screen etc now.
For our first 3 days we travelled with Richard's partner, Lyn, and her group before hiving off to Innamincka, Birdsville and Marree with many stops in between. Nothing was too much trouble for Richard and he kept us well informed of what we were doing each day. He even made a detour to Betoota at our request! Every day was full and there was no room for the slightest boredom even on long drive days as Richard and our other passenger, Janelle, were the excellent conversationalists with great senses of humour too boot.
If you're looking for a 4 - 5 star luxury holiday then this is not for you but if good, clean, comfortable accommodation and regular meals suffice then this holiday is well worth undertaking. Once you've driven on the Stuart Desert, the Strzlecki and the Oodnadatta Tracks you can really appreciate the logistics and costs associated with getting goods and services to these and surrounding areas. Having said that, we had some lovely stays and meals and a holiday we haven't stopped talking about but which will remain a favourite for sure. Our thanks to Richard and Lyn.

在我们的头三天里,我们与理查德的搭档林恩和她的团队一起旅行,然后前往因纳明卡、伯兹维尔和马里,中间停了很多站。对理查德来说,没有什么比这更麻烦的了,他让我们清楚地知道我们每天在做什么。他甚至应我们的要求绕道去了 Betoota!每天都很充实,即使在长途驾驶的日子里,也没有丝毫无聊的余地,因为理查德和我们的另一位乘客珍妮尔(Janelle)是出色的健谈者,也很有幽默感。
如果您正在寻找 4 - 5 星级的豪华假期,那么这不适合您,但如果良好、干净、舒适的住宿和定期用餐就足够了,那么这个假期非常值得一试。一旦您在斯图尔特沙漠、Strzlecki 和 Oodnadatta Tracks 上驾车行驶,您就会真正体会到与将商品和服务运送到这些地区和周边地区相关的物流和成本。话虽如此,我们有一些愉快的住宿和用餐以及我们一直在谈论的假期,但肯定仍然是我们的最爱。我们感谢理查德和林恩。
