Hi Simone,

I have returned to Canada & got over my jetlag & wish to express my thanks for a great adventure–tour 5 of May 17, 2017 which included a song by a choir of 12 in Cathedral Gorge on my birthday.

Firstly, I want to thank you for your administration from the time I booked in November 2016 right through the months getting required info, the unfortunate cancellation of Wendy & your assistance with my claim.

Now, I must congratulate Mark & Carmel for extraordinary leadership for the entire tour including their energy driving long distances, setting up camp , providing  snacks during morning & afternoon breaks, lunches & excellent dinners, keeping the group informed with stories & background history & assisting anyone who needed it [ including me] during the rock hopping hikes.

The itinerary was busy but I wanted that & there were opportunities to take a couple of morning rests if desired.

I enjoyed the company of all my fellow travellers . We had lots of laughs & I found them all willing to pitch in with the chores. I hope to keep in touch with some of the group & certainly would like to send some photos to  a group website to be organised by one of the group experts.

I believe Adventure Wild has a very good formula for the 12 day tour & it should be continued until new circumstances occur that require changes to the overall plan.

I was surprised & not impressed  how occasional other visitors at a campsite, swimming hole or lookout were fanatical about playing with drones.

I found the meals varied & of good quality & quantity & the campsites were well situated.

This was an adventurous camping trip & I was comfortable with the driving sections with regular breaks & was rewarded with the activities such as the helicopter flight, the river & lake cruises & the billabong & gorge swims & the colourful hikes .

Hygiene is very important & our leaders were on top of ensuring the best approach to that.

Regards,
