Hi Richard, I want to tell you how wonderful the trip was! Adrian was a wonderful guide, fed us with plenty of good food, took us to places we never would have seen otherwise, and impressed me with his local knowledge and skill as a driver. We saw many off-the-itinerary sites over and beyond those on the list, each one enhancing our knowledge and experience of the areas we visited. He was aware of my needs as a photographer and often stopped so we could take that special shot.
The accomodation was lovely, and the flights over lake Eyre and Wilpena Pound were fabulous, and the pilots were excellent (filled a nervous flyer with confidence!).
I cannot think how the trip could have been improved. At breakfast the day after the tour’s end, I was talking with the Mulhollands (co-travellers) and asked them how they would sum up the trip in one word. They said, Massive. Fabulous. Magnificent. My first thought was Stupendous. I was also impressed by the way Adrian catered for Reg, our elderly team mate, without condescending, and for myself, a bit overweight and not as fit as I thought! He encouraged without being at all belittling, quite a skill!
The Rock art was interesting, but the site was poorly signposted and without much interpretation, I expect we missed a lot of its significance, but it was still a wonderful place to see. Humbling and thought-provoking.
Anyway, thanks very much for organizing such a great tour. Although it was a stretch for me financially, I don’t regret a single cent!
Thanks Richard,
