I am in Sydney at the moment. Where might I be able to get some information? :D


eta - found some info here - http://www.outbacknow.com.au/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=6&pid=17

Hmm. Looks to be about 8.5 hour car drive for me. I work Fri Sat Sun too so I would have to take days off. Still, maybe I can talk DH into it. It does look like lots of fun.
