Choose your own adventure with a hire car:
If group tours are not your idea of the perfect outback adventure, why not hire a car and see the sights at your very own pace? Driving in Central Australia can be quite dangerous for visitors. Be aware of the long distances between each destination and avoid driving on outback roads at night. Allow plenty of time for travel and ensure that you take frequent rest stops along the way.
