The Lightning Ridge Police Bush Safari is a registered charity that organizes an annual 10 to 13 day Safari into the Australian outback. The Safari is organized by Local Police and Community members, during the NSW school holidays (usually September/October), and its aim is to raise money for local charities whilst having fun.
The Safari has been operating since 1990 and has visited most areas of Western and Northern Queensland, South Australia, Western Victoria and the west of New South Wales. The Safari is not a race, it is a leisurely safari through the outback. We rarely do more than 500 kilometres per day, so there is plenty of time to look around. We camp as a group at a pre-selected location near amenities. We even have a couple of rest days at selected locations so you can have a rest or enjoy the local surrounds.
On most nights we organise a local charity or organisation to cater for us, so there is no need to cook each night.
The Safari is accompanied by a support team including two Police Officers, an Ambulance from the Ambulance Service of NSW, a Mechanical support team, and a State Emergency Service vehicle. You can be assured that you won't be alone if you get into trouble.
This year the Safari is heading to the Gulf departing Lightning Ridge on the 25th of September and the destinations we are heading to are Eulo, Windorah, Bedouire, Mt Isa, Lorne Hill National Park, Karumba, Julia Creek, Longreach and the famous Nindigully Pub.
