National Park. This is followed by a Bush Tucker lunch in this pristine environment.

We stop off along the way to take in typical rural cities and towns.

Day 3:

This morning we head out to find some of Australia's best waves and spend two hours under the instruction of a qualified surfing teacher learning this most Australian of pastimes. That magic moment where you and the wave all become one as you surf towards the shore could be the beginning of a life long addiction.

For those wanting to experience one of Australia's most unique wildlife experiences of swimming with dolphins and sea lions (OE $140) we have the time at this stop to do so. This incredible optional wildlife experience involves a four hour boat cruise. We find the friendly populations and can swim and snorkel amongst them. There is nothing that can parallel the feeling of communing with wild creatures such as these.

A short drive brings us to Murphy’s Haystacks, incredible granite rock formations sculptured into wondrous and weird shapes over millions of years.

Day 4:

This morning we head out and learn to surf with Spike where you can get another oppertunity to surf. So we go to a beautiful deserted beach and spend the next two hours mastering the surf breaks.

after the surfinf we go to the Colton Bakery - a unique wood fired bakery on the side of the highway with a honesty pay system. We meet Mark the owner of Colton Bakery and walk through this interesting bakery.

We have lunch at Elliston’s Great Ocean Tourist Drive with stunning sculptures which contrast against the Investigator group of Islands in the back ground.

We travel to Locks Well and admire the view and the man made 291 steps down to the Locks Well beach.

We go camping at Mikkira wich is a private campground with a great opportunity to see koalas in their native environment.

Day 5:

Today is an extreme day of fun!!!!

Those that dare come face to face with the Great White Shark on a day tour [OE $495] which includes a video highlights of your experience.

Those not wishing to be quite so extreme head out to Whalers Way Conservation Park for some more spectacular and stunning coastlines. after lunch we go and swim with blue fin tuna before a visit to Glen Forest Wildlife Park and the kangaroos, koalas, emus, birds and other unique Australian animals.

Day 5:

Our first stop is Wadlatta Cultural Centre in Port Augusta that helps provide answers to the many questions about the formation of the Nullarbor, Flinders Ranges, and the formation of Australia as a continent.

The tour then travels Pt Augusta and through the Flinders Ranges and Horrick's Pass to enjoy our last last awesome bush walk at Alligator Gorge.

The journey from the Flinders Ranges into Adelaide gives you a chance to reflect on the experiences over the last six action packed days.
