Hi Simone and Karl,

I thought the trip was very well organised and Magnus and Wendy were wonderful hosts/guides/sources of information and FOOD glorious food.

The rain early on prevented our entry into Purnululu which was an unavoidable disappointment.

My other disappointment was the absence of any indigenous input. The areas we visited were and are important cultural and spiritual sites. I really expected there would be at least some involvement of aboriginal people to give travellers some information and insight into these aspects of the country, as well as some awareness of the impacts of white settlement on traditional life. I really think tours such as I have just done with Adventure Wild could help to foster greater understanding between Aboriginal and white Australians, and other visitors. I say this because we hardly ever hear about Aboriginal people in our media unless they are causing, or in, trouble.

In finishing I want to say thank you for arranging such a good journey, choosing great hosts, and for your patience and flexibility with everything.

Kindest regards
