Great excursion but unfortunately the Standley Chasm was closed! Too bad as this was one of the reason we picked this tour. It would have been nice to get this information away ahead so that we could eventually reschedule it for another day.

wonderful day exploring the outback, our guide Tim was very knowledgable about all the locations, the rocks, the wildlife. He looked after us all, made sure we were comfortable. Im quite old & walk a lot slower than most people, but I didnt feel left out at any point during the long tour. Well worth it.
