There are a few things that you should know about the Australian Outback and the Red Centre.

One – it’s very red out there! They don’t call the area around Ayers Rock and Alice Springs the Red Centre for nothing, you know!

Arriving in the Northern Territory Outback from New South Wales and the gradual yellowing of the land and drying out trees, you’ll eventually come across all this red earth. Even more so contrasting is if you are arriving at the Red Centre from the vibrant green vistas of the rainforests in North Queensland. However, if you arrive by plane, you will think you are in another world. Whichever way you get there, you will see it’s damn red out there!

All with the aim of achieving the fruit picking dream.
