GET ON THE TRIP WAIT LIST

All the way we will be looking out for wildlife encounters – kangaroos, koalas, and more!

There is no better way to start off an Australia adventure than to come with an Aussie geocacher as he guides you around the country.  Then use this trip to add on extras – maybe a trip to the Great Barrier Reef or out to the red center to see Uluru (Ayers Rock)? (We are working with a travel agent friend to get some great add-on trips)
