Testimonials

"Thankyou Sally and friends for a lovely time - getting behind the scenes of Australia's tourist facade. That's exectly what I wanted and I got it with my own personal tour guide who introduced us to her country, her memories, her family and her friends.

"I envy all the Norris's, past and present who live at Inglevale on the farm. I have never felt so warm and welcomed to share in their wonderful scenic farm.

"Loved the pot roast and kangaroo kebabs. Wilf's ploughing reminded me of my father, who ploughed the field in a similar fashion (in Scotland) . Mary with the smiling face, Bill the singer, Laurie who made me laugh, the boys and the dogs, all added to the atmosphere on the farm.

"It was a gorgeous memory of Australia, which I'm sure will never leave me. Thankyou for making my holiday more than the usual three weeks off work in the sun."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Mudgee/Bathurst/Eugowra trip with you this year. The trip was well thought out and packed with interesting features. You managed to show a wide range of natural attractions and "real" Australian out-back life in the central west of New South Wales in just three days. I especially enjoyed my time at Hill End and the farm at Eugowra was an amazing experience. The informative commentary and comfortable van made the travelling time go quickly and you managed to stop often enough to keep everyone happy. The tasty healthy food was a welcome surprise too. I have no hesitation in recommending your trip to those wanting to see some of vast rural Australia and go beyond the cities and beaches."

The Farmstay was definitely the best part. I had never imagined myself around a campfire with people so friendly and warm. I was amazed that they could live without electricity and run a farm the way they did.

I liked the way we just changed plans in the Blue Mountains to see some of the areas that we haven't already visited.

It's been a great experience.

"The food was great!"

"I had a wonderful time on our Aussie Farmstay and Bush Adventure trip. It gave me a chance to experience a part of the Australian bush not seen on the more usual tourist routes. Historical goldrush towns, real working farms, and local characters. Our guide was friendly and informative and went out of her way to ensure we all got the most out of the tour. Highly recommended."

"What a great 4 day trip into part of the real Australia! Thank you Sally for providing a look at what this amazing country is made of.

"I loved the company, the characters and the scenery, the history and the food!

"The night around the campfire was my favourite bit and when we went to bed under the stars - how magical to lay and watch shooting stars and be amazed by the plenitude of sparkles up there...

"I will be telling all my friends"

"The highlight of the trip for me was the night sitting around the campfire with the Norris Family. The brilliant stars overhead and the poems and songs and yarns flowing freely brought back childhood memories.

"Although I've driven through the same areas many times in the past, this tour highlighted features of the bush I'd not really taken any notice of before.

"I had fantastic time."

"The trip was a wonderful experience for me. I especially enjoyed staying at the Norris' property at Eugowra - it was fun to experience what it is like on an Aussie farm and then sitting around a campfire in the evening under the brilliant southern stars. Great food and company. Thanks Sally."

"Great trip! This is a true adventure right from the start. From seeing koalas and kangas to relaxing in a pub.

I really enjoyed Bill's songs and Laurie's yarns. Staying at the farm made me feel like one of their old friends. Everyone was so friendly and showed me what the Bush was really all about. Sitting under the stars was beautiful as well.

The trip is jam packed full of adventure sure to please anyone!"

"Gracias Sally, ha sido un viaje precioso y todo lo que comenta Laura ha sido asi. Sally eres una estupenda anfitriona, una gran cicerone. My English is terrible, but I'm felt like in my house. Thanks. Come diriamos en mi idioma "amenazamos con volver"."

"Thank you Sally it has been a wonderful trip and everything that Laura says is so. Sally is a wonderful hostess, a great guide. I felt right at home. Thanks. As we say in my language "we threaten to return."

I liked Hillend very much. What a great way to see an old miming town, which just boomed due to the gold rush. With all the old pictures it was great to see how the pioneers lived.

The farm stay was a very good experience as well. The campfire, stars and a lot of friendly and fun people.

We saw a lot of the inland Australia I haven't seen while living here.
