For that truly special, ‘wind in the hair’ experience, Compass Expeditions introduces its ‘Outback Explorer’ and ‘Australian Encompassed’ road tours showcasing the romance of the Aussie bush aboard a BMW motorbike.

Compass Expeditions is a world renowned adventure motorcycle touring company and an official BMW travel partner. For over 7 years it has operated supported expeditions to the most remote corners of the world and is now returning home to launch its two new epic itineraries that are being rolled out across Australia by award-winning tourism business experts, Parker Travel Collection.

Compass Expeditions’ 17 day ‘Outback Explorer’ departs Melbourne and combines the blue of the Great Ocean Road, beauty of the Barossa Valley and the loneliness of the Birdsville Track en-route to Darwin.

The return journey makes for the 19 day ‘Australian Encompassed’ tour. Departing Darwin, the route travels via Katherine and Alice Springs. The highlight of this itinerary is a visit to Uluru before returning to Melbourne via the remote Oonadatta Track and Wilpena Pound.

From five bikes, one battered old Toyota support vehicle and a load of enthusiasm, Compass Expeditions has grown rapidly to offer over 25 tours in 36 countries across four continents. Recognised by National Geographic for their globetrotting expeditions, company co-founder Mick McDonald said the new Australian itineraries were developed to satisfy a demand from their many fans from around the world.

“It was natural progression to offer these Australian tours as we know the destination intimately and together with the marketing efforts of Parker Travel Collection will be working hard to foster new markets and an appreciation of BMW cruising,” said Mick.

Tours are all inclusive of BMW motorcycle rental (variety of sizes), all fuel, accommodation, most meals and attraction entry fees. The tours are conducted by an experienced guide with a support vehicle.
