Travelling by private aircraft, you’ll bypass long distances to arrive directly in the heart of the action, before continuing on to the unique underground town of Coober Pedy and soaring above the vast expanse of Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre. In just two days, experience the energy of the races, the spirit of the outback and the striking contrasts that make this part of Australia so unforgettable.
