This is a must do. 4 day Epic. The staff made this trip a 10 out of 10. The information the local guides provided along the way added to the trip. Who knew there was a flour mill on the River! The photos the guides showed us were perfect. A past vibrant and alive to forest and paddocks today. The tunnels all hand made bridges all erected with no cranes. The jet boat portion was a perfect way to appreciate how long this river is and visualise this as the road for the area. Then we get to the food. Let’s just say start dieting a week or so before. Home baking for morning and afternoon tea Breakfasts fit for voracious eater. Thank you to every one of the FWA staff all handpicked because of their passion for the area.
