Guest Book Comments

"Despite the flies and the terror of a “roo’ jumping on my swag I have not felt this chilled out for years!

Peter has looked after us brilliantly.

I have learnt a lot about where we’ve travelled but also about Australia and Australian’s, It’s been a delight to spend 4 days with Peter. He knows so much about everything and fills in all the gaps."

"A big surprise! Much better than we could have imagined. It gave us a good view about this part of the warm country, Aussie. We think this was a carefully arranged trip. Everything we needed was in the car, including a real swag.

Surely worth to be recommended."

4 Day Flinders Ranges - January, 2006

"Thoroughly enjoyable. Peter’s knowledge is amazing. Where does he keep it! I had no idea what to expect but got a lot more than I thought possible. We went to parts of the Flinders Ranges that I would never have found and would not have had any idea of the history if I was on my own."

"This has been a most memorable trip for us. Bringing us to the Outback. The landscape seen in this tour was spectacular and perfect.

Peter has been a great tour guide, stopping whenever possible for great photo shots. He also brought us great places not commonly visited by tourists."

5 Day Flinders Ranges - April 2006

"I really enjoyed this 5 day trip into the outback. Beautiful landscapes, lots of emus, kangaroos, euros, and colourful birds including eagles, parrots and galahs.

The balance in the program was very good, scenic driving, walking historic sites and to conclude with the museum in Port Augusta.

Peter is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgable and flexible."

Francis - Singapore

"Thanks for an excellent 3 days in the Flinders Ranges . We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and got so much more out of the trip with you as a guide. The scenery was spectacular and I only wish we could have stayed longer. The swags were a great experience.

We had a great time and will make sure we recommend you to all our friends."

"Here’s to Peter
Who drove us all,
Without fear or failure
Through the deserty bits
Of South Australia
Then, oh what wonders he took us to.
Like Kata Tjuta and Uluru!
He made our journey such a pleasure
We’re going declare him a National Treasure"

Ned especially enjoyed talking geology and mining with you. We appreciated your taking our interests into account when planning our activities. Food was fabulous and plentiful.

We would definitely recommend your trip to our friends and travel associates."

7 Day Adelaide – Alice Springs - November, 2006

"Thank you so very much for showing me around the Flinders Ranges. I would never have been able to discover the wonders this part of the world possesses on my own. The tour was rich and varied, much like the lands it showcases. I really appreciated your familiarity with the overall geography as well as the specific stories of the aborigines and the pioneering groups that inhabited the Ranges. This trip is one I will carry with me a long time, taking it out often when the madness of the big city gets to be overwhelming."

"We wouldn't want to be swaging about the Flinders with anyone but you Peter. Thanks for such a fantastic experience. The tour exceeded all expectations we had. Our only complaint: it wasn't long enough. From the food and comfortable travel to the interesting and informative commentary, you really know your stuff. We will not forget the casual atmosphere you created, the beautiful sights you shared and the enjoyable chats around the campfire with cold beers in hand."

"Just wanted to let you know what a GREAT TRIP this was. The experience was unbelievable and words cannot express adequately just how good it was. Also Peter you are a most caring host/guide and your cooking is very tasty. I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip and you to other people.
I would do it again if I was 5 or 10 years younger but as I'm now 71 I feel I'll be too old for any future trip of this kind.

"How can we ever thank you for this wonderful trip through the Clare Valley, Flinders Ranges, Ooodnadatta Track, Coober Pedy, Uluru, The Olgas, Kings Canyon and so on up to Alice Springs.
The best and first experience was our swags under the stars.
Peter, you were the best guide we could have, because you explained so many geological processes but you also knew about nature, vineyards, insects, birds and so on.
We enjoyed the campfires and the food cooked on the charcoal, every night, it was delicious and so were the fantastic sandwiches we had for lunch.
Thanks for everything."

May, 2004

"Where to begin! I guess in Adelaide, with little sleep, some of us fresh off the plane and frightened by the idea of camping and most definitely the idea of deadly spiders, man eating snakes and roo toting birds and at the end of the trip we left with:
- extensive knowledge of the geology/topography of the area
- well fed bellies, including gourmet cooking
- sightings of every type of animal available in the area (none of which bit off our heads)
- an excellent itinerary, including access to places only few will visit
- an initial and pleasant experience with an Australian Swag
- and most important, a personalised experience with a friendly, knowledgable and relaxed guide, whom I'm more apt to call a friend."
