Australia by Air - Outback Photography Tour
Come and see the real Australia in the most exclusive journey you'll ever experience. An epic adventure through The Outback that traverses the southern states on the way to the Red Centre, Uluru, Kakadu, Tiwi Island and The Kimberley.

Feedback from Past Travellers
"My third trip with Ewen and Jason from Grasshopper Travels and
definitely not my last! Rajasthan is an amazing and confronting
region and this trip was packed full of highlights from the Thar
Desert to the bustling towns. With Ewen's guidance I was able to
photograph the wonderfully friendly people of the region and, along
with his forays down busy streets, temples and markets, I brought home
the best travel photos I have even taken. Once again the trip was
flawlessly planned and smoothly delivered. We stayed in former
palaces, tried out local restaurants and rode camels across the
desert. Jason even organised a cricket match with the eager people of
Mandawa. I can't recommend these two professionals highly enough -
for photographers or just those who like to travel to somewhere
different. Thanks guys for yet another wonderful adventure."
