Great trip

Had a great tour. Felt very lucky to have guide Aziz who came fully prepared for everything the day had to offer. Tent, pillow and sleeping bag was all provided for along with plenty of water. Really enjoyed the local knowledge and the secret pool at the end of the Tiwi was certainly a highlight.
