Read reviews of 4 day Central Explorer (PISC) from other travellers:
The tour was very well organized and very interesting, thanks to a fantastic guide, Kardy I think his name was. He was so involved in the aboriginal people and culture and gave us a lot of information and he looked after us very well.
The airco in the bus broke down, which was horrible and after that we travelled in an old bus which caused me a lot of back pains, from which I still suffer.
