We enjoyed our Western Plains trip. My husband's favourite bit was Mayfield Gardens, and I would also place it at the top, however, the Dubbo Zoo overnight was hard to beat. We actually had around 24 hrs at the Zoo and every minute was great, despite the 42o heat on day 2. Cowra Peace Gardens also could not be faulted, nor the dinner and breakfast at Montrose House, Canowindra. As for Yeoval - what a find, the Banjo Paterson Museum and Alf and Sharon's coffee & scones! It was 5 days packed with interest, good company, and great information from Janine and Jeff. Oh, by the way, food was also really good, and we heaved a sigh of relief when we undertook our First Peoples cultural tour with Gerard - Janine thought he was providing lunch, but he had prepared afternoon tea. We all cheered - as Sharon's scones had more than covered morning tea AND lunch! Gerard was another wonderful find. Our leaders had really done their homework!

Scott was great. Very knowledgeable of Sydney and we went to places you will not find in large bus tours. He was accommodating to our request and made sure we were all (three couples with different interest) happy with the tour. He took great pictures that he sent to us and ended with a great drink at Sydney’s oldest tavern. He was on time and we never felt rushed and was flexible to make sure we saw the items on our most see list. If you are doing this tour you should request Scott!

My sisters and I recently visited Canberra and spent a wonderful few hours with Marg of Canberra Secrets. We were collected from our hotel and then driven to key tourist spots in her very comfortable vehicle, with interesting commentary along the way. Marg has a lovely manner and shares her knowledge in a charming, conversational way. She tweaked the itinerary to avoid places we had already seen so that everything we visited was new to us. We had a very special time with her and highly recommend the very personal approach of Canberra Secrets.
