Where in Australia can I go for the ultimate outback experience?

I recommend the Pilbara Region in Western Australia. I have been to Alice Springs, Northern Teritory and all over Western Australia and this is the greatest place.

Uluru is fun (I've climbed it 3 times now) but it isn't an outback experince really.

The Pilbara Region is my favourite becuase of Karijini National Park. If you are adventurous there are heaps of different gorges to climb down into (very challenging but great fun) there are beautiful water holes all over the place and you can absail through the caves/inclosed gorges if you're up to it. If you can't manage that there is handrail pool (strangely it has a handrail to get down) here you take a walk through the gorge and climb down the handrail - here you can swim in the awesome pool to the other side then continue through the gorge.

I love this place - and if you get sick of the outback you can always drive west to Exmouth and go snorkelling!

Have fun!

Take a guided 4 wheel drive bus tour through the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of North Western Australia.

These areas have spectacular natural scenery and gorges that will have you running out of film in no time. In particular you should check out Millstream and Karijini National Parks in the pilbara. Millstream is an oasis in the outback with prehistoric trees. Karijini is home to several interconnecting deep gorges that are accessible by road and then foot. Each one with unique colours and characteristics. You can take a cruise around the coast of the Kimberley or tour through the landscape itself. Don't forget to take a flight over the beehive shaped Bungle Bungle ranges (they're too fragile to have vehicles traverse through them). It is worth it no matter where you go.

Alternatively you could visit Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayres Rock).

My parents just came back from Central Australia on an outback tour and they loved it!! You get to see the aboriginals and go on long hikes in groups.

Ever thought of going on a cattle drive or doing a jillaroo / jackaroo course?

The Kimberley's is breathtaking. Get on one of those adventure tours that goes from Darwin to Broome (they take around 12 people). You need to have a four wheel drive with a knowlegable guide for the best experience. You cook over an open fire and you swim in beautiful waterfalls or underground caves. Don't think it is all flat desert. It is full of gorges etc. You do a fair bit of climbing and you need to be reasonably fit. The amount of wildlife is phenomenal and the bird life is unbelievable (to see and hear). Depending how long you have you could do Alice Springs to Darwin first. I'm normally a 5 star girl, but this was one of the best trips I have done in my life. I actually loved sleeping in a swag under the stars (no tents).
If you get the chance, do a helicopter ride over the Bungle Bungles - they are as impressive as The Grand Canyon.

I'd say go somewhere in the Northen Territory. Go to Alice Springs and take a tour to Ayres Rock.
Or like someone else said, to the Kimberly's or maybe somewhere up north of Perth, Broome maybe?

Umm.... I think maybe Queensland. I live there and I think it is probably the most outbacky In aussie. Like up north. Also in Queensland is the 'Outback Spectacular' show which is a live show showing all the outback specialties of Australia. Check out this website if you wanna go:

http://outbackspectacular.myfun.com.au/

It is also right next door to the best theme parks in Aussie: Movieworld, Dreamworld, Wet & Wild and White Water world, and a small drive from Seaworld and Underwater World!!

Queensland also has some great islands like Moreton Island, Fraser Island and Stradbroke Island, which are great to camp on and experience the great outback of Australia.

Also, you could go to Uluru, which is in the Norethern territory!!

Anyways, hope this helps!!! : )

Glassford Creek Farmstay in queensland...

Try this place, I went there and had a ball. You can do everything like horse riding, also Farm tours in a 4 wheel drive are conducted regularly, giving a full overview of the working of the cattle farm.Also if you choose to do on the farm tours you will get to do general duties such as checking cattle, also making sure watering and fencing are completed. You can Milk the cows, feed horses or feed the orphan calves.

Hope this website helps, I know it helped me and like I said I had a ball and wouold go back in a flash if I had the chance (even though I live on a farm myself).

the outback is a good place to do it

directions from Sydney or Brisbane DRIVE WEST

directions from Perth DRIVE EAST

outback is very hard to miss as it takes up a lot of the Australian inland area

Central Australia--> Northern Territory--> Kakadu National Park--> Uluru- that giant monolithic rock.
