This is gold mining country with stunning scenery and a vintage railway line. This tour is best travelled when we slow down and take in the beauty of where we are. We can adjust our timing as we go to suit the weather, the relaxation and how the pictures are turning out. We will finish off with dinner at a special lodge on the way home. It will be a good day. This tour has a Walking Pace of 1, but can also include a stunning more adventurous route that is more like a 3 through the gorge. Bathrooms and facilities are easily accessible.
