At the end of the first day’s journey we stay either in a bush camping setting or during winter an Aussie farm retreat staying in updated shearer’s quarters.
Day 2: After a short drive we board the MV Investigator for a 4-5 hr cruise (own cost at $100 Inc GST). It’s a relaxing day viewing and swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions, fishing and a scrumptious lunch after. Time permitting we head back to Coodlie Park Farm Retreat to view a spectacular sun set at a secluded beach. Our hosts Hassie, Jo and family then conduct a nocturnal spotlighting tour looking for Australia’s National Emblems – Kangaroos, Wombats and Emus.
Day 3: Optional Experience – Scenic Flight - 120 Kilometres of magnificent rugged coastline between Coodlie Park and Ceduna {$140.00 per person minimum 3 people] or your choice of relaxing on your own private beach.
