In the explorer's soul, there's a thirst to discover the blank pages of the world's books, the chapters no one has yet read. The desire to embrace the unknown and decipher its mysteries becomes an adventure in itself, a journey through virgin lands where history and legend meet.
It's in this spirit, and in the footsteps of these Australian explorers, that this trip takes place.
We follow in the footsteps of John Edward Eyre (1815-1901), who boldly set out to cross Australia from East to West. Faced with extreme conditions, he demonstrated unshakeable courage, leaving a lasting imprint on the history of Australian exploration through his resilience, bravery and, above all, by following his dreams.
"Those who lose their ability to dream are lost." (Aboriginal proverb)
So let's dream...
A journey that will leave an indelible mark on all of us.
All we have to do is get started, set off and dream of an extraordinary journey.
- From an crossing Australia from East to West in the spirit of the great explorers.
- Encountering an ancestral culture , the aboriginal culture that goes back almost to our origins. The dreamtime that links human beings, plants and the earth. And whose resilient knowledge can bring us so much wealth.
- A respectful and virtuous transcontinental tour of this island continent 100% carbon-free, with 32 days in Australia, no domestic flights, travel by train, on foot...
- Trains of legends like the Indian Pacific, a link between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
- From a untamed nature shaped by this indomitable land, outback landscapes, forests where giants reign, Karris that merge with the sky, mineral rocks on the Great Ocean Road and in the Wilsons Promontory.
- From this Australian spirit which translates into this phlegm of the present moment around a coffee, a glass of beer, that it is good to know that after all "not to worry about the end of the world today, because it is already tomorrow in Australia" - Charles M. Schulz.
Highlights
- Imagine discovering the unusual creatures of the antipodes: quokka, koala and the leaping kangaroo. It's a world apart, where nature defies the imagination.
- Sleep under the stars, in a swag in the heart of the Flinders Ranges, under the celestial vault for a deep connection to earth and sky.
- And what about bush tucker, the survival food derived from the Aborigines' age-old botanical knowledge? To learn how to survive in the Australian desert using local plants is to immerse yourself in a rich, ancestral culture.
- Cross the Nullarbor Plain, a 2700-kilometer stretch of wilderness without a single tree in sight. Australia and excess are a perfect match.
- And then there are those legendary trains like the Indian Pacific, which traverses 4500 kilometers across Australia, linking the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean. It's a railway odyssey through grandiose and varied landscapes.
- Dreaming of Dreamtime, the aboriginal stories and legends that recount the creation of the world by the Spirits, linking people to the elements and to living beings, is to plunge into the deep spirituality of this land.
- To walk in the footsteps of explorers like John Edward Eyre is to feel the call of the unknown and the excitement of pure adventure.
- This is the spirit "made in Oz" - a unique combination of incredible landscapes, ancient culture and exploratory challenges. It's a call to explore, understand and be amazed by this fascinating land and the people who inhabit it.
