Travelling in the outback without a support vehicle can be dangerous and expensive. Should you break down while travelling alone, vehicle recovery costs in the very remote areas could amount to several thousands of dollars. A new HF radio such as your tour guide carries costs more than the ticket price for this tour. Save yourself the money, time and hassle- tag along with David and Justine Olsen's 4WD Tag Along Tours.
