Sam was a good tour guide with Shazza for back up. Tour was interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would be nice to have a sun shade over the outdoor part of the tour as it was a very hot day when we visited

Worth the visit and cost!!
We were very fortunate to have a personal tour (only ones there) with Desley, Pam and Sam (good to see some Kiwi’s working in Aussie (Sam)). The ladies had a lot of knowledge to share with the history and how the sugar cane is processed. Plenty of parking (we were in a 6 berth Campervan and found this ok). Serena has a lot of history and this is a must stop. After the tour, we headed for a tasting (very informative and a nice wee finish, we certainly left with some goodies to take home to NZ). While we did the tasting our daughter made candy floss to enjoy! Was very impressed with the engagement for our daughter.

Kangaroos and Wallabies at the beach at dawn
Expectations met, we met at 3am and arrived after an hour drive while the animals were already at the beach and we observed them until they left after their breakfast after 5am. Than we walked to the lookouts in the national park and had our breakfast at 7am. Thanks to our lovely tourguide Michelle. I would definitely do it again🦘🙌🏽

We saw one!
This was a friendly well run experience. Nathan our driver/guide was safe and knowledgeable and the bus comfortable. The swim was a good way to cool off and the two pools nice to swim in. Lunch was in a characterful old tavern - (you can have pretty much anything you like as long as it's a pie). The highlight was seeing a platypus, which requires patience but Nathan was a good spotter and we saw at least one, possibly two, as well as plenty of turtles. The final stop was at a spectacular lookout. A great day, delivered with enthusiasm and professionally.
