Notes:
While we strive to offer a glimpse of all listed animals, nature has its own schedule. We cannot guarantee sightings, but we know the best spots for the best opportunities! We will be keeping an eye out for the elusive Platypus.

This tour is fairly fluid in terms of time management.  We may find that we stay longer in one place as the animals are particularly entertaining or move along more quickly if they aren't showing.  Each tour is different and is largely determined by the activity of the animals on the day and the weather & the season.  We will visit many places in the hopes of completing our check list and due to this we may find our selves in different areas on different tours.
