Picked up from near our campsite and transported to the 'bush'. Very informative talk with breakfast, followed by a tractor tour of locality full of information about the fauna and wildlife. After lunch we ambarked on the motor launch, this didn't disappoint as we spotted at least 12 large Crocs at close quarters, plenty of info and great photo opertunities to be had. All In all a great day out. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

A quick bus trip to river Proserpine from Airlie beach. Greeted by Steve & Ian who explained the days itinerary. It was a full two hours on the river with Steve’s wealth of knowledge and plenty of crocs were seen. Upon returning we enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by Ian with a selection of meats and fish along with plenty of salad options. Followed by a tractor-train style ride with Steve around the wetlands. Upon returning again Ian had whipped up a delicious arvo tea of damper and Billy tea. Highly recommend this tour wonderful for children too.
