Bill & Helen Elliott

Hi Karl & Simone,

Well before our tour commenced you helped us become well informed & we thank you for your considerable help with the planning stages.

Then the magic began, from the glowing oranges of Windjana Gorge, the stunning scenery along the way, the walks, refreshing water holes, the sunsets, the serenity of our last night camped by a billabong.  There was great camaraderie among our fellow travellers, chatting around the camp fire or getting stuck into the chores were fun & special moments.  Mark & Carmel were a wonderful couple, creating many a fabulous & healthy meal & keeping us informed & entertained along the way.  Lending a helping hand to any who needed assistance on the walks, as did Helen after hurting her ankle toward the end of our Manning Gorge walk.  Fortunately it was a minor sprain & with some timely first aid from Carmel she was soon able to participate again.

I broke my glasses on day 3 & by a stroke of luck, Marks spare reading glasses served my long distance vision fine & helped considerably with my reading.  Talk about giving me the “shirt off his own back”.  Both Mark & Carmel lent a helping hand to every one when it came to rolling up our swags & through their efforts had us packed & ready to roll in record time without having to “Crack the Whip”.  That got us to be near enough to being first on the scene on a number of occasions.  Almost having Zebedee Hot Springs entirely to ourselves was pure bliss.  Another delightful moment was  having champers, cheeses & dips atop a hill overlooking El Questro Gorge as the sun dipped toward the horizon.  I’m sure the few other travellers there were envious of our group.

Well done Mark & Carmel & the Adventure Wild team, this was a holiday that will reside in our cerebral cortex, pleasant memories segments for many, many years.
