From our guests:
“You provided more than just a good local guide, which all tours do, but an all encompassing presentation of the evolution of Australia and what you see today, including land management, history, legends, Aboriginal culture etc. You have a world class program and must continue on this way – keep going” - Maile USA
“Thank you so much for a most enjoyable and memorable tour. There were many highlights - the superb lyrebirds being one of them, of course. We didn’t realise such countryside and scenery existed in Australia and the birding and photography opportunities were plentiful. We very much enjoyed your company and hope that our paths will cross again. Our best wishes and let’s keep in touch.” - Stephen and Maureen UK
