We can also put together custom made itineraries based on the species you require. Itineraries can be fully costed with expert guiding and inclusive of all accommodation, meals, transport etc or alternatively guiding services only can be provided. Popular itineraries include combinations of the Adelaide region, Gluepot and the river Murray region with or without the addition of the Flinders Ranges and Outback and/or Innes NP. Other options include Melbourne to Adelaide (or vice versa) via the Great Ocean Road or the inland route (or both!), and birding in the NW Victoria area - from Mildura through the Grampians to Little Desert. The choice is yours!
