Kayaking, bush walking and a delightful morning tea and lunch all in the company of our lovely guide Chelsea. A true local who loves the region, her knowledge of the area was great. We shared beautiful scenery with our wildlife. Stingrays, turtles, cranes, finches, kites, black cockatoos and kangaroos were just some of the creatures we found on our adventure. We even discovered some native raspberries to nibble on! Chelsea was attentive to the needs and interests of our group which gave us a memorable day. I look forward to revisiting and discovering more of the region.
