Googs Track Day Tour
Where the Map Thins and the Landscape Deepens
Googs Track is one of those rare places where the desert reveals its character slowly, through shifting dunes, resilient vegetation, and salt lakes that hold the memory of ancient climates. This private guided day tour invites you to explore the eastern edge of the vast mallee expanse of Yumbarra Conservation Park with a scientist-guide who brings clarity, insight, and a deep respect for country. 🌵
This is not a high-adrenaline crossing. It is a measured, thoughtful exploration designed for travellers who value nuance, solitude, and the pleasure of understanding what they see.

Entry was $20 or $17 for seniors.
We saw 6 whales and got to see part of the Australian Bight.
Well worth turning off to visit.
Whale watching season is between 1 June and 30 October.
Rarely does a company’s own description prove not only entirely true, but also an understatement in several dimensions.
Dr Steve Milner is a scientist and an outstanding guide, able to find equally interesting alternatives when nature reveals its more extreme moods.
He is a natural teacher who shares knowledge and enthusiasm with clarity and generosity, enabling visitors to truly read the landscape and the larger story shaped by water, time, and life.
Above all, he is a remarkable human being, with whom travel becomes a succession of eye‑opening moments enjoyed in genuinely good company.
The experience was exceptional: impeccably organised, masterfully managed, and attentive to every detail.
We have been travelling for decades, both for leisure and for work. This journey through the Flinders Ranges now ranks among our most memorable experiences and has left us with a strong desire to travel again with Steve.
Carlos and Jean — March 2026
We would not have been able to visit the sites/sights by ourselves. He took us to remote sites with views of the Bight which was spectacular and introduced us to birds, crustaceans, lizards, fossils and claw and paw prints in the rocks.
We felt entirely safe in his hands while driving through rugged terrain. Not only did Steve have extensive knowledge of the geology, flora, fauna of the area, he was also passionate about its indigenous and exploration history and its ecological specialness. He provided a stimulating conversation during our drives discussing scientific research, his experience of caving and the archeological richness in the Nullabor.
Steve was very considerate in maintaining a pace and itinerary which commensurate with our age. Never pushing us for time and was flexible with the schedule.
His vehicle was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The two meals provided had high quality and delicious offerings in generous helpings and there was also the bonus of hot boiling water for our beverages. Collapsible chairs, proper crockery and cutlery were provided to enable leisurely enjoyment of the view on Eyres Bluff.
Altogether a most memorable outing.
