Day 3 : Esperance to Newman Rocks

There’s free time this morning. You may wish to take a coastal walk or go for a swim, boogie board, snorkel, fish or just relax and read a good book while lying on a pure white beach (with the local kangaroos).

Day 4 : Newman Rocks to Koonalda

Today will certainly give you a sense of the size of this vast and ancient land.

Day 7 : Coodlie Park to Port Lincoln

This morning we check out the quirky Colton Bakery, on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere and then to Locks Well for a walk and marvel at the man made 291 steps that go straight down a cliff face to one of the regions premier salmon beach fishing hotspots. Then it’s off to swim with tuna in Port Lincoln. This experience is like swimming with lightning as these massive fish go into frenzy as you snorkel around the tuna cage. Our overnight camp is at Mikkira Station with koalas nestling in the trees around our camp. (BLD)
