      Despite the dismal weather, My husband and I quite enjoyed the tour. Brendan, the tour guide tried to keep our spirits up by being talkative and friendly. Brendon was also very informative and a very good singer! I enjoyed the music played on the bus. It would’ve been great though if Brendan showed us around the sanctuary instead of sending us out on our own.
    • Fun, informative and relaxing!

      It was breathtaking. Enjoyed the ride amidst beautiful greeneries and flowers popping out. Safe to dangle the legs out. A new experience for us.
    • Great trip!

      The train and the sanctuary were amazing. I was not impressed with the company's schedule for the day: we were dropped off at a small platform of Menzies Creek station and we were supposed to spend 45 minutes on that platform with nothing to do. There is a small museum but it is apparently open just for a couple of hours daily and it was closed by the time we got there. Thankfully our tour guide Nic was thinking on his feet and took us to a nearby lookout, which saved the day, even though it resulted in him doing way more driving than originally anticipated.
