YOUR TRAVEL FOOTPRINT
At Nullarbor Traveller we are conscious of the impact that our business has on the environment. To offset our Carbon Footprint we are involved in the environmental program of Coodlie Park Farm Retreat, the 2 nights farm stay accommodation on this tour and the base of Nullarbor Traveller. Coodlie Park Farm Retreat has developed an environmental program which will see designated sites on the property direct seeded (by machine) with native plants to offset the Carbon Footprint. We encourage our passengers to ask questions, learn about the unique environmental program and get involved!
Coodlie Park Farm Retreat is also a host Wwoof Farm (Willing workers on organic farms) which provides additional resources to ensure that the carbon footprint from the business is fully offset! You can participate in the sustainability program by jumping on one of our tours and stay an extra week or two at Coodlie Park to offset your Carbon Footprint and jump on the next bus to finish your tour!

Operator Description:
Imagine a trip where you have the chance to encounter whales breaching below you, sea lions and dolphins swimming around you, kangaroos, emus, wombats, dingoes, and the majestic wedge tailed eagle in the native environment, hand feed wild tuna or get up close and personal with a Great White Shark! These are just some of the Wild encounters possible on a 6, 9 or 10 day journey across the great treeless plain of the Nullarbor between Adelaide and Perth. To the majority this raw and wild part of the great Aussie outback is seen as a boring and endless but to those in the know, this part of Australia offers a greater range of possible wildlife encounters in stunning and unique scenery than any other part of the country. The customers of Nullarbor Traveller are those in the know. They are the ones who smile secretly when others tell how they flew over the top because there is "nothing out there". Could anything be further from the truth! The Eyre Peninsula is one of those isolated gems that use this feature to a huge advantage. Lack of mass tourism means the wildlife in this region has remained wild and abundant and local hospitality is still warm and genuine. Flying over the top or taking the train? Now that’s boring. Discover the un-discovered on an ‘Adventure to wild places’!
