Fantastic experience under the stars, was organized and ran very professionally, would highly recommend the experience.
This was such an amazing experience. The night was perfection and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience just outside of Adelaide. The knowledge shared by Joe was super insightful and the ambience created by Kelly was the icing on the cake! :)
Darren rocked for showing us the B-side of VIC, most of us touring VIC would go to the 12 apostles and Philip Island but the steam paddler experience and wildlife park visit was not lesser than that
