Southeast Queensland is one of the most scenic and species-rich regions of Australia. It is easily reached by domestic or international flights, has good weather throughout most of the year, readily-accessible wilderness areas and walking trails, mountains and beaches, many of Australia's best-known animals (as well as many you have possibly never heard of) and a remarkable array of other nature, cultural, adventure and luxury experiences. Tours can be combined as modules. For a really comprehensive immersion in Australia's wildlife and ecosystems, consider a combination of the Australian wildlife overview, Outback (only in autumn and spring) and a Coochiemudloe Island day-tour with perhaps some additional customized days for snorkeling, whale-watching, farmstay or other experiences (all this must be planned well in advance). |

With
small group sizes (usual
maximum is ten), this is not a hurried herding of tourists on and off
buses, into souvenir shops, etc. You will have ample opportunity to
tell us your interests, and
though we can't fulfill every wish (for
instance, when seeking wild animals rather than visiting a zoo, we
can't guarantee that particular species will turn up) we will try
to make your day or days as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. You
can let us know any time you want to stop for photos or anything else
of
interest, and ask as many questions as you like - if we don't know the
answers we will suggest ways of finding out. Our emphasis on tours is
on spending time in scenic spots and natural habitats, not quick photo
stops en route to shopping centres and the like, and many of our guests
have commented on their appreciation of this.
We
uphold the ideals
of
ecotourism:
environmentally sound, quality
information, nature-based and supporting local communities. All tours
we have so far applied for have achieved advanced eco-accreditation
You'll have no trouble recognizing
our
usual vehicle: a 12-seater Toyota Hi-Ace painted with Australian
wildlife and forests. On outback tours or after very heavy rains in the
Border Ranges National Park we use an 11-seater Toyota
'troopie.'
