About this tour »

Cradled by the vast landscape of Central Australia, spend a week writing, walking and swagging it on the banks of the Finke River.

Days will be relaxed with easy walks to and from the established bush camp. In this ancient land, you'll naturally connect more deeply with yourself and your story -- where you've come from, who you are now and your core values and purpose. You don't need to be a writer; as well as writing prompts you'll be given a variety of creative approaches to enter your story.
