Western Explorer

“I am now back home after an interesting time in WA. I enjoyed the Broome to Perth trip very much, saw a lot of places that I would have never got to otherwise and found Karijin National Park especially attractive. I also enjoyed seeing the plants many of which were in flower and we were lucky to see the mass flowering at Coal Seam National Park. The wildlife, especially the bird life was also most interesting. And we were most fortunate to have plant and wildlife experts – Wayne and Ray, with us and they were able to identify most species for us.

While the drives were long at times we did end up at most interesting places at the end of each day. I understand that the intended route was changed a little – we stayed at Murchison Junction Motor Camp which was very good and at Coal Seam National Park – which again was an excellent place and enabled us to see the spectacular displays of wildflowers.

The fellow travelers where all good company and most helpful to me when needed. As were Ray and Wayne. So, overall an excellent trip.

So, thanks for giving me the opportunity to see most interesting areas of WA”.

“We have just returned home from our Western Explorer trip from Broome to Perth. Just thought we would let you know how much we enjoyed our time. We do at least one such small group trip each year – here and overseas – 8 all up now, and this is the best we have done.

We were impressed with the strong client focus, the attention to individual needs and the skills of the staff. Little things like having ‘nibbles’ for hiking days, a good supply of fresh fruit and a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach. We usually travel with 12 or fewer parties and the size of 9 this time was a bonus – good bonding. You are fortunate to have the two Peters. They were great individually and worked really well as a team.”

“I want to let you know how much I enjoyed my recent trip. It all seems like a dream now, back in wet and cold Perth, but perhaps I can manage another one sometime in the future.

The two Peters were great – Peter B was a safe and patient driver, efficient packer and unpacker and fantastic cook and Peter C did a great job with the birds and plants and tour participants, leading the way into the pools (brrr) and up the hills (groan) and amusing us with his tall tales. I knew less than anyone but got a big cheer when I saw the first emus from the bus on the second last day!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed the recent Kennedy Range – Mt Augustus tour. Everything is so well organised. Having knowledgeable naturalists on board makes the trip so much more meaningful.

The natural wonders of WA are really special, and your tours do it justice. We got quite a good bird list including a new one, thanks to Rick. Also being a morris dancer/musician was a big bonus! Many thanks to Rick and Steve, great meals too. Thank you.”

“Having just returned from the Kennedy Ranges and Mt Augustus tour, I felt I must tell you that I enjoyed it very much. Each place we visited was full of interest and I felt we were most fortunate to have Rick as our tour leader followed by Steve who fed us so well. Thank you for such a well organized trip and of course we were so lucky to have a great supply of wildflowers.”
