Embark on an unparalleled outback adventure with South Australia’s Outback Mail Man, traversing rugged landscapes in the comfort of an air-conditioned 4WD vehicle.

Limited to just 10 people per trip, this personalised tour begins its journey from the renowned Opal Mining town of Coober Pedy. Accompany the Outback Mail Man as he delivers mail to historic outback towns - Oodnadatta and William Creek – and five remote cattle stations including Anna Creek Station, the world’s largest.

In Oodnadatta, take a break at the famous Pink Roadhouse, allowing ample time for a meal and exploration of the town, including a visit to the Railway Museum.
