    Mountain escape

    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.

    Wonderful Adventure in Nature

    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!

    I recently went on a tour with Michelle as our guide, and she was fantastic. She was super responsible and explained everything in great detail. I learned so much about platypuses. Highly recommended!
