One of our guests was inspired to write

Together with a small group of close friends, my wife and I chose Nature-Bound Australia to take us on a comfortable adventure deep into the Australian heartland to the lonely site of one of our nation’s most significant and tragic exploration events, the death of Burke and Wills.
We did this because we believe that our wilderness areas are quite unique and the history of European exploration and settlement in this arid land clearly gave birth to the pioneering spirit that is now the fabric of life in Australia.
I reckon that contact with the wilderness meets an aspiration within each one of us to rediscover our own souls. The call of the outback adds the same splendid dimension to our lives as it did for the explorers, pioneers, settlers and travellers who preceded our journey. For as long as I live, I will be in awe of our great frontier lands.
The experience will bring vital stimulation to your physical and intellectual well being as you answer the call of the wild, while enjoying a level of travel comfort and personal attention from Nature-Bound which is extraordinary in itself.

Enjoy an outback holiday and connect with the spirit of Australia.Guests roam across the Mungo Lake Dunes
