Anyone with a pass to the national park could’ve easily done the walk themselves (flat and easy 12km) but it was fantastic to hear about the history and culture behind the significant site! The tour was very well organised- the bus was comfortable and punctual, and the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was provided in a little pouch you carry yourself which included muesli, milk, fruit cup and some sachets for tea and coffee and hot chocolate. Also provided was a flask with hot water which was a nice touch considering it was such a windy and cold morning! Would recommend this tour for those wishing to learn about the rock!

This was a marvelous night from start to finish. Garry our driver was extremely knowledgeable and had a flair for taking great pics at the sunset viewing as well as a good sense of humour. The team at the Bbq were extremely friendly and the food was plentiful and enjoyable. Garry's talk on the cosmos was very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the night.

What a great and well organized set of day tours. Did the Palm Valley one day and the next the West McDonalds. What great staff and a wealth of knowledge that they imparted. Thanks Bluey the four wheel drive to Palm Valley was memorable. Both tours were special for their own reasons. Thanks to all the staff and crew at Emu Run.
