(BLD) DAY 4 :: NEWMAN ROCK TO KOONALDA Today will certainly give you a sense of the size of this vast and ancient land.

(BLD) DAY 7 :: COODLIE PARK TO PORT LINCOLN This morning we check out the quirky Colton Bakery, on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere and then to Locks Well for a walk and marvel at the man made 291 steps that go straight down a cliff face to one of the regions premier salmon beach fishing hotspots. Then it’s off to swim with tuna in Port Lincoln. This experience is like swimming with lightning as these massive fish go into frenzy as you snorkel around the tuna cage. Our overnight camp is at Mikkira Station with koalas nestling in the trees around our camp. (BLD) DAY 8 :: PORT LINCOLN Today is a extreme day of fun! Those that dare come face to face with Great White Sharks on a cage dive (optional experience) while others in the group surf on a pristine beach.
