Great mountain escape for the day. Refreshing swim in the waterfall. Sighted a platypus in its element. All with Michelle the tour guide full of local knowledge and information.

Michele was our guide and she was wonderful! Lots of stories and insights about the area and the history. Loved the hike and then watching for wildlife - especially the platypus!
