Bill King is a modern-day explorer who has taken everyday Australians along for the ride. Often literally walking in the footsteps of Burke and Wills, Leichhardt, Sturt and Stuart, thousands of Australians have experienced the adventure of a lifetime in Bill King's capable hands. Bill is the pioneer who put the Australian outback on the map for travellers from all over Australia and the world. In an enterprise founded on hope and grit his business - still operating as AAT Kings - opened up a completely new branch of Australian tourism. Eccentric drivers, mad passengers and sticky situations abound against the backdrop of the glory of outback Australia. Bill and his passengers sometimes got lost, bogged, stranded or scared out of their wits, but there was always a fierce determination to bring the show back home. He never lost a passenger or brought one to harm, but by heck they sometimes tried his monumental patience. Bill King is a living treasure of the Australian Travel Industry and after thirty years of experiencing everything under the sun, possibly no Australian could match his incredible fund of real-life yarns.
