The tour was amazing, met some stand out people and saw so much in such a short space of time! It gave a really good overview of the east coast whilst doing fun activities and educating us about the native people of the lands along the way! Loved every minute and will be doing another one for sure! Hope my next tour guide fills Lozza C’s boots!
