What a great Trek West it has been! I have ticked the box! 76km of walking, powering on with lovely friends and conversations, so many laughs, good food, spectacular scenery, nice wine, beautiful dinner settings. So exciting!

Thank you Shelly and girls for an amazing experience. I didn’t really have an expectation – but it has been amazing. Such a vast difference to what I’m used to and the variety of landscapes and experiences has created memories that “our group” will cherish. The attention to details – table clothes, hand towels etc. have added a special touch and the food was truly outstanding. Thank you seems inadequate, it has been AMAZING!!

Knocked my socks off! What a terrific mind escape in a vast, ancient and beautiful landscape. The camaraderie of companionship was just brilliant, a credit to the structure of the trek. All the finer details – refreshing face clothes, fine champagne, white linen tablecloths and nutritious meals topped off each stage of the trek. AMAZING!!!

Joy McClymont “Dalkeith” Longreach Qld Fitness Hub Hike 2017

The first Trek West Big Loop Hike was awesome. Great organisation and attention to detail. The scenery, geology and landscape totally different and interesting. At age 65 it was great to walk The Big Loop Trail and enjoy the great company and the challenge of walking the distance.

Louise Martin “Macfarlane” Tambo Qld The maiden voyage - The Big Loop Hike 2017

You have delivered a trek that I will hold dear to my heart for a long, long time. Your attention to detail has made my camping experience nothing short of amazing. The stars, the campfire, the cool drinks, the warm face washers in the morning, the amazing food and the WOW of arriving at the Stockcamp. You have all generously shared your time, knowledge and a snippet of your everyday life with me and I thank you for this.
