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.

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!!!

A week of varied activities to keep the mind, body and soul in top condition. The sunrises and sunsets magnificent. The landscape varied and so beautiful. The history of the country quite fascinating and the evidence still seen. Cap all of this with a quite wine around the fire in the evenings and a beautiful meal and delightful company.

I have run out of superlatives before I start. We have had just the best week. In some respects it was like “coming home” to some of the spots of my youth. So well planned and thank also to Tilly for her great contribution. I could say more but the best compliment I can give you is to tell you I’ll be back. Loved it!!

Lindsay Allan Stockcamp Hike July 2018

We have just returned from the most amazing experience ever “The Stock Camp Trek” on Herbertvale Station. We had four nights at The Stock Camp which was glamping at its finest – spacious Bell Tents, flushing toilet and a hot shower!

Our days were filled trekking and exploring this magnificent part of the world – landscapes, gorges, open plains each and every direction a symphony for the eyes. It was also fascinating to talking to Shelly and Tilly and learning about life on the land. I will now look at a steak on the supermarket shelf a different way – I’ll see the steak and now know the story behind it.

One absolute hands down highlight was walking into The Lost City.
Historians, geologists, scientists, archaeologists and palaeontologists please take a deep breath….. a really really deep breath – It was part of an inland sea and is over 530 million years old. I can barely fathom that number as I say it and then type it! It was jaw dropping awe inspiring to walk amongst a history that was home to the trilobites.

All of the meals were delicious and plentiful. Sunset drinks on our first night was spectacular – beautiful cheese platter and plenty of champagne whilst watching the most magnificent sun set! Our last night’s meal at The Stock Camp was a steak, from Herbertvale Station, cooked on hot plate over a roaring fire. Mouth watering, delicious and a great finale to a wonderful four days!

Thank you Shelly and Tilly for being absolutely fabulous hosts and making the “Stock Camp Trek” and the “Long Lunch” such a memorable experience and one we will all never forget.
