Our site is not only about our tours, but we provide a bit of history or interesting information about where we visit. In this issue I have some information about our famous Nullarbor Plain The Nullarbor Plain extends approximately 700 kilometres from east to west and from the coast it extends 300 kilometres to the Great Victoria Desert in the north - covering an area of 125,000 square kilometres - almost as large as the State of Victoria. The plain was created about 25 million years ago when it emerged from the sea; prior to that it had been the seabed. The denizens of the deep had deposited their lime secreting skeletons and shells on the seafloor. These deposits with sediments of sand eventually created the limestone which covers the entire plain to a depth of 15 to 60 metres, then covered by up to 1 metre of soil. The Nullarbor region is one of the largest arid to semi-arid KARST (a limestone landscape, characterized by caves, fissures, and underground streams) landforms in the world. Karst topography is the result of the solvent action of water on bedrock. This 'dissolving' of rock forms many different Karst features - the Nullarbor caves being a good example. Nullarbor Plain

One of our more popular tours is our 6 day tour to the Coral Coast. We visit the Pinnacles at Nambung National Park; Kalbarri including Nature’s Window at The Loop and Z-Bend; Shark Bay including The Stromatolites, Shell Beach and of course the Dolphins at Monkey Mia; then onto Coral Bay for two nights giving you a full day at Ningaloo Reef. On the way home we call into the Blow holes at Quobba; make a bush camp; New Norcia and Margaret River Chocolate Factory in the Swan Valley. Time permitting we will also call into a winery at Swan Valley. More info about our 6 Day Tour If you are interested in this tour, or any of our other tours, give us a ring or … Contact Us here.

We had a special group tour down south not long ago and one of the “new” places we went to was the Alpaca Animal Farm. This was an amazing place to visit especially for our international guests. We started off by feeding the koalas. They only stay awake for about 15 minutes so you have to get there right on 10am. Then we were given some animal food to feed the kangaroos, alpacas, goats, horses, etc and etc. One of the real highlights was not only feeding the koalas but also the opportunity to feed a baby kangaroo that had been orphaned and handed into the farm.

Not forgetting our normal tours of course.
