“Meeting someone like you only happens once in a life time in a place like Australia. Thank you for sharing all of your time and knowledge. Both are priceless to these groups of young kids and old kids like me. You are the driving machine and have the patience of a man with 3 sons! Keep up the swagger in Swagabout Tours because the bush needs people like you in it.”

“We just have the feeling that you understood us so well and gave us what we were waiting for that we consider you part of our family. You were so careful with us that we inscribe forever in our memory the very strange moments when we opened the swag during the night. We were not prepared but your behaviour made us trust you. Also, the interesting knowledge of the Flinders, geology, cooking, wine and so much more that it was great pleasure to share each authentic moment. Peter, you made this part of our travels an unforgettable experience.
Each time we talk about Australia you will be present and we shall recommend in France this amazing experience.”

“We thank you very much for this outback experience. It was great to discover the wildlife: kangaroos, emus and birds. Your geological lessons were very interesting. We will not see the stones and rocks with same eyes now.
Maybe 3 days are too short for this kind of trip.
Great knowledge and experience.”

Kangaroo Island was a real revelation to us all. You formulated a wonderful and most interesting tour with so many varied visits to cottage industries, coastal bays, beaches, lookouts and a whole lot more.
Thank you for your commentary and comments on all points of interest.

“Your tour struck the right balance – friendly, relaxed and informative. Thanks for a fantastic time. Your cooking will be missed.
I slept better in the swag than I do at home.”

“First trip of the New Year.
Excellent. We got exactly what was promised and what we wanted.
Very patient, no rushing, lots of time to look, take photo’s etc. Excellent knowledge!
The quality of the catering was an added bonus.
We certainly had the promised adventure between floods and punctures.”

“Surprisingly instructive trip. Many thanks for being so knowledgeable about the Clare Valley. A good blend of natural history, human made industry, wine stops, morning tea and chatting. Given what I’ve seen in the tourist industry both here (Australia) and overseas, I would describe this tour as exceptional value for money.”

“Thank for the great trip to the Flinders Ranges. We loved your trailer with everything in it.
We know you would have loved to show us more, but we really didn’t have the time
Having a private tour felt great and you were a great companion as well as a guide.”

“Magnificent trip. Great choice of destinations, interesting camp sites, a swag full of discoveries and 3 (French) star cuisine by a very talented chef.
We loved just being in the outback with the best guide you could find.
The geological explanations were particularly liked.
We would love to do another trip with Peter, so fingers crossed that this will come true.

“I have always wanted to do a trip like this especially visit the Flinders Ranges and Arkaroola but your teaching, organisation and wonderful meals were an unexpected bonus.
The diversity you showed us was also a bonus, the history, the geology, the wildlife, the beauty and the mining.
Thank you so much for making this a very special trip for me”

“Thanks for another amazing trip- No 3. Who knows we may squeeze in No 4 before the bodies are too old for the swag. Again super cooking, wonderful experiences, expert knowledge, the extra and interesting site you shared with us, also your great sense of humour and patience that saw us through 3 punctures on the Birdsville Track and 2 dust storms. We wouldn’t have missed a moment of any of it (the wind and the dust sure tested us).
We will continue to promote your fantastic adventures.

“I enjoyed these 3 days in the outback and will never forget these days passed with you. Your interesting explanations, your good tasting cookery and the 2 nights in the swag. It was very comfortable and pleasant and the camp fire was too, despite the cold and the rain. Thanks for all you’ve done, for your kindness and your patience.

“Peter, you’re not just a good guide, you’re a fantastic one.
We had 3 great days with you and your one million star bush hotel. You cook delicious meals, you’re a great butler, a great teacher and a very special friend.
We have seen lots of beautiful places, heard so much about the very interesting history of the Flinders Ranges. We’ll never forget this trip into the outback in the swags and all the good experiences we have had. You had lots of patience with us and our English.
Back home in our cold country we’ll miss you and South Australia.”
