    This was a wonderful excursion. Our tour guide Ro with Billy Tea Safaris was so knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a long day but worth it.

    Andrew was a great guide. Mick at the caves was excellent. To us the guides make the trip. So the travel, extensive, was filled with tales (don't know how tall) of the area and the characters. The Caves are marvelous, a treasure.

  • Excellent tour. Guide...

    Excellent tour. Guide was great, very educational. Cave was different than many we have visited. Seeing the rock wallaby was a real treat!
