Looked up Outback Spirit Tours prices, holy moly not cheap.

17 nights /16 days touring the Kimberely.

TOUR PRICES 2016
$10,995 per person twin share

I could at least charge a pallet of beer per person


What they offer for the price compared to what I offer:

Small Group Size - 26

Me - large group of 50 plus, the more the merrier


All meals, including all breakfasts, lunches and dinners while on tour

Me - toast for breakfast, ham and cheese sanga for lunch, meat pie with sauce for dinner.


All attraction, entry and cruise fees

Me - postcards handed out and floaties supplied


Travel aboard a 5-star 4WD Mercedes Benz Coach

Me - use your own 6 star fully optioned vehicle, you spent all that money on it.

16 nights of exceptional hotel, resort, safari camp and lodge accommodation all with en-suite bathroom facilities

Me - 60 plus nights of getting drunk around a campfire, sleeping in your own accomodation, pop up toilet and shower tent with 2 buckets and foam matts.

Escorted by experienced and professional Tour Driver/Guide

Me - what can I say, years of traveling, getting lost, falling over drunk. Yes very experienced.

The Outback Spirit 'Explorer Pack', an exceptional travel kit containing useful, high quality items such as a sturdy backpack, microfiber towel, aluminium drink bottle, sunscreen, broad rimed hat, anti-bacterial wipes, mints, sunglass wipe, personal first aid kit and luggage tags

Me - Marks " Adventure Pack", includes high quality stubbie cooler, berocca tablets, old towel, 10 sheets of toilet paper, chewy, a couple of band aids, glow stick for around your neck, a cheap bottle of water from Coles and a pair of $10 sunnies. Exceptional value  ;D

I know who I would want to travel with.

I personally think a slab is a small price to pay...

what say everyone else?

if everyone supplies a slab each...

oh wait, that's like 49 slabs.

I'd pay that,

Just so i could get the high quality stubby holder, and maybe the sunnys as a bit of a novelty item.

My cousin and his partner work for them. They've been doing that sort of thing across the top for many years.

We passed them last year on the GRR, and caught up for a feed at Broome.
