Perry Sandhills

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Deserts
Perry Sandhills, located just outside the town of Wentworth on the VIC-NSW border, is an amazing spot for families to explore sand dunes and enjoy a day out. Visitors recommend bringing smooth plastic toboggans or boogy boards for sliding down the dunes and suggest packing water to wash out sand from kids' eyes. The area offers a great view of the sunset from the sand hills and provides toilets and under cover shelter for resting in the shade.
Perry Sandhills was our must see destination because we had promised our kid a chance to run up and down sandhills. And it certainly delivered. Just 15 minutes outside Wentworth, the sandhills are the size of a small town, easy to walk around and discover most things, but it feels like another place altogether. The fine red sand and desert landscape make this a stunning place. A number of films have been shot here, and you can see why when you're there. But it also feels ancient and peaceful. I could imagine nomadic Aboriginal people stopping here, having fires, talking and resting for days before they returned home supplied with all the desert melons they could carry. We wandered the dunes, passing an exorbitant number of desert melons which had obviously been cultivated in the long past but now were an abundant treasure trove of bush tucker. Old trees littered the landscape, including one that looked like a whale. In the middle of the Sandhills, is the incredible "God Tree", a giant eucalyptus tree that is over 200 years old. The perfect place to sit under, eating melons and telling stories. This place feels like a Cathedral. The God Tree stands among the dunes offering shade and rest. I felt like I didn't want to leave when I was there, feeling connected to my own dreamtime. Our son experienced his dream of running up and down sandhills, and my partner joined him. I snapped them and wandered about looking for the small trails of the desert. This was living.

Loved visiting the god tree...definitely a must do. Whilst we went in the middle of the day...would recommend a sunset visit for better photo opportunities. In saying that there is plenty of photo opportunities at any time of the day
Paul — Google review
Great spot to visit, especially for kids. Huge sand dunes as far as you can see. Very peaceful and beautiful
Dwac — Google review
Easily accessible. Although the walk to ‘The God Tree’ involved a steep descent and a steep climb up to it, through soft sand
Colleen T — Google review
It was quiet, calm and peaceful watching sunset at sandhills. Remember your way back to car park by making a trail on the sand as you walk and bring a torchlight with you. 🙂
Yin L — Google review
It was raining on the day I was here but went for a look anyway, I would like to come check it out when it is dry. It is pretty cool how it has just kinda formed in the middle of nowhere. Worth a look for sure if you are in the area!
Warren M — Google review
Easy to find, to slide down the large hills you will need to walk further from the car park.
Andy M — Google review
We loved coming here. Unfortunately we didn't have anything to slide down as it was a last minute decision. We walked around and found a large piece of cardboard. The kids had a great time sliding down. Well worth a visit. Bring something like a boogie board etc or large firm cardboard to slide down.

Old Wentworth Gaol

Mentioned on

Museums
History Museums
The Old Wentworth Gaol offers a glimpse into the past, where 8 years in prison was the punishment for stealing a horse and just 1 year for getting drunk and punching someone. The visitor found it to be a good historical trip, despite initially thinking it was closed. The reasonable entry fee of $8 makes it worth the visit, with an hour being sufficient to explore the small but intriguing jail.
Very well preserved and presented. We arrived about 15 min before opening and the gentleman on duty was out the front, he opened up early and let us in. Very nice man, very informative. Takes about 30 min to walk through reading the important information, you could spend an hour reading everything. Well worth the visit.
Chris P — Google review
Was informative and interesting. Well maintained and a credit to Rotary and Wentworth. An interesting visit.
Carol N — Google review
We are really glad we went out of our way to visit Wentworth Gaol. It was great to walk through the grounds and experience what it would have been like. We were given advice on what to keep an eye out for on the way in which was helpful and the information around the cells and rooms was informative and not long winded. If you're passing through Mildura, go out of your way, it's not far and you won't be disappointed.

Darling and Murray River Junction and Viewing Tower

Mentioned on

Park
Sights & Landmarks
Darling and Murray River Junction and Viewing Tower is a fantastic spot for dog owners, offering stunning views of the Murray River and old paddle steamers. The area features a lookout tower, outdoor gym, children's play area, and nearby toilets. With plenty of grassland to explore and shaded areas from trees, it's an ideal place for leisurely walks.
The viewing platform is a great spot for photos at the Darling and Murray River Junction. The parklands contains substantial native vegetation that gives you an appreciation of the riparian landscape, flora and fauna. Well worth a visit.
Richard G — Google review
Great place to visit. Big grassed area that's perfect for a BBQ, a picnic...or to let the kids have a run around! The view across the river junction is fabulous from the tower.
Tony C — Google review
This is a special place where 2 mighty rivers come together. They say that after rain in the Darling catchment you can see the brown water mingling with the Murray River water. There is a high viewing tower to get a better view but this only has a steep spiral staircase as access.

This was a great park to spend an hour with a coffee and great views. This junction (confluence) of 2 big rivers was great to see, a lot of water passes here and you can see why it would flood. Back 100 yeas there would have been paddle steamers galore going past this spot, it was Australias busiest inland port. So much history to be found in this little place.
Paul S — Google review
Nice park with facilities - parking, toilet, playground and lots of shade. Viewing platform about 3 stories high on circular stairs will give you view of converging Murray and Darling rivers different colours

Orange World

Sights & Landmarks
Farms
Orange World is a must-visit attraction just eight minutes from Mildura, New South Wales. This 20-hectare working citrus farm offers three daily tours where visitors can hop on a tractor-drawn train and ride through the orange, mandarin, and avocado groves to learn about the local citrus industry. The farm is bustling during picking season and blooms beautifully around September. It's an ideal destination for families as kids can enjoy freshly squeezed juice while learning about farming practices.
What a surprise. Absolutely worth every moment. Mario and his offsider where amazing. Remarkable people, kind, funny, hard working and the tour is lot of fun. Free samples and the orange juice is out of this world! Never had better tasting oranges in my whole life. Mandarins as well. So packed with flavour, nice and sweet beyond words. Could not rate our visit any higher. We’ll worth dropping in.

Lock 11

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Lock 11 Mildura Weir is a fascinating spot for curious children and engineering enthusiasts alike. Here, visitors can observe boats and paddlesteamers navigating through different sections of the Murray River, controlled by gates that manage water levels. A walk across a bridge leads to a manmade island where the roaring spillway can be witnessed from afar. The weir itself is an impressive feat of engineering, comprising 24 steel trestles that can be completely removed during floods.
Great watching paddle steamers go through the lock! Very interesting! Go across the lock onto Lock Island and walk around for lots of bird life.
Merril T — Google review
The lock let's boats through on the 1/2 hour so you can watch the operation without too much wait. The island has a good walk around to the weir and there is quite a lot of bird life to be seen.
Lyne F — Google review
This place is great to get out and walk around. Well signed posted walking trails with new paths. You could spend an afternoon or morning watching the boats go through the lock. Imformative signage present too allowing you to have a good idea about the whole Murry water scheme.
Jessica P — Google review
What a great experience with a steam powered paddle boat (the Melbourne) to boot. It is quite an old world feeling to firstly be lowered 3.5 metres to the actual river height then on return being raised back up 3.5 metres. This raising movement took all of 4 minutes and without the use of any pumps. Brilliant!
Alan S — Google review
Just a quick fish with the man at one of his secret/not so secret spots. Watch out for the logs. Nice place to have a go

Cool experience. You can experience it on the river bank (free) or hop on a paddle steamer (AUD 45). Definitely a must do attraction in Mildura
Sau F — Google review
River cruise on P S Melbourne. A steam driven paddle steamer. The cruise was 2 hours long and included going through Lock 11 in both directions. Highly recommend.
Greg M — Google review
Well worth taking the walk or ride along the easy 5km river trail with its many interesting features. The lock is impressive, its size and the amount of water it holds back. The work that went into building this and the engineering behind it is impressive. Alongside the lock is a flood marker board, I was blown away with flood heights with 1870 being a big one. Having seen many locks in the UK I would have loved to watch a paddle boat go through this one.

Mildura Arts Centre is a cultural hub offering theatre productions, art exhibitions, and a sculpture park. Housed in the historic Chaffey family's old residence near the Murray River, it also serves as an art gallery and showcases the family's influence on Mildura's development. Fosseys distillery bar within the center provides a unique experience with its contemporary design and a variety of locally made gins.
A beautiful stately home in the heart of Mildura, next to the arts centre. A stunning home. Kept in original 1921 condition. On street parking. Disabled park near front door of gallery. Wheelchair access to ground floor only, but the gallery and theatre has lift access. Great coffee shop and public space to catch up with friends, and chat 5/5 stars

I recently attended the "Dylan Wright in Concert Fundraiser" at the Mildura Arts Centre on Saturday, July 5, 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. The event, supporting the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, showcased the remarkable talents of Dylan Wright, the 2024 Australian Idol winner, whose blend of soulful country and soft pop captivated the audience. Opening the evening was Hazel Symonds, a standout contestant from this year's Australian Idol, whose powerful voice set the stage with energy and emotion. The Mildura Arts Centre provided the perfect venue for this inspiring night of music.

This was such a wonderful museum. From walking up to the museum itself, it’s beautifully well kept flora and public displays of art. We were able to walk around for quite some time and the front desk receptionist were very helpful. The museum was broken up into the old house. And also the art section as well. Everything was very stunning and it was lovely to have seen all the aboriginal pieces.

Great place to visit. The Rio Vista house is a wonderful surprise and free to visit. The gallery at MAC offers free viewings of local artists as well. The only unfortunate thing is that you are not allowed to take photos there-hence the 4 ⭐️. A must visit for anyone and particularly those who enjoy history.
Tina C — Google review
A delightful art precinct, free entry with local artists and school art work on display. The magnificent home of the Chaffeys provided a wonderful insight into the establishment and hardships of a pioneering family who founded Mildura. The family history was touched by tragedy, but thankfully they survived. Well done to the Shire for maintaining history.
Moni L — Google review
Rio Vista is an unexpected gem in Mildura that has a joint building with an exhibition and theatre. The old building showcases the furniture and way of living of that era. I specifically liked the wallpapers, it is rare to have wallpapers in any building in Australia. They have a coffee shop and I strongly recommend the freshly baked waffles with syrup and ice cream 🍦!

Mildura Visitor Information Centre

Tourist information center
Visitor Centers
The Mildura Visitor Information Centre serves as an excellent starting point for discovering the town and its attractions. Situated in the heart of the town, this center offers friendly and informative staff who are eager to assist visitors with a wealth of information, including historical insights and local tips. In addition to providing brochures and guidance, the center features a small shop offering unique gift items. Visitors can also seek recommendations on places to explore that may not be easily found online.
Just after breakfast on our first day of touring, we always visit the Mildura Information Centre. We have been to this terrific centre many times over the years and it ALWAYS delivers! The friendly staff go above and beyond to provide any information that you might be looking for. For example, I asked about the history of the world's longest bar (formerly at the Working Man's Club) and they found some information and photocopied it for me. On our most recent visit, we met some more wonderful staff - Carmel and Mel. They both assisted us with all of our enquiries :-) The displays here are well organised and spaced out so that you can walk around and appreciate Mildura and the surrounding regions focussing on key themes in a logical order. There are plenty of brochures about attractions, food and accommodation in Mildura and beyond. There are even brochures about other parts of Victoria and other states in Australia. It's also a terrific place to buy postcards and other souvenirs. If you are a new resident in the region, there's also loads of relevant information. There's a cafe next to the centre if you want to stay a bit longer and grab a bite to eat. There's even an area where friendly local donate books they don't want and you can pick up one or two for free. In short, this place has everything! We always enjoy stopping here and staying up-to-date with the latest information. Keep up the great work :-) Here are some photos from recent visits.

We happened to be coming through town while a festival was on in Wentworth and couldn't find any accommodation. The receptionist at the Mildura visitors centre was incredibly helpful and friendly. She looked around for us and even booked us a night at a local caravan park. She walked us through things to do in the area and was the reason we decided to stay an extra night in town when we originally only meant to pass through. The centre is also full of local handmade items and food. It was very interesting to look around and we bought some local jewellery before we left. It's not ofren you see such good visitors centres.

Extremely Disappointed – Appalling Customer Service We called Mildura Paddle Steamers in advance to inform them we had tested positive for COVID-19 and could not attend our booking. We did the right thing by notifying them early and avoiding the risk of exposing others. Despite this, they refused to refund us. Their complete lack of empathy and basic decency is disgraceful. Punishing customers for being responsible is not just bad business — it’s unethical. We will absolutely never be booking with them again and will be warning others to steer clear. We could’ve come and exposed everyone as they told us we could but we had the locals/ tourists interest in heart. Disgusted by this I also want to add, while we were communicating trying to have a humane conversation between the info centre and the paddle steamers both would say it was the others polices and procedures. If you’re going to run a business I suggest you know whose polices and procedures are what.
Ella R — Google review
My family and I made a booking online through the Mildura Tourist and information centre for a paddle steamer cruise with Mildura Paddle steamers. The booking was made 15 hours prior to departure. That night my family and I started to become very ill. We took a Covid test to find the 3 of us were Covid positive. As soon as the office opened at 9am I rang only to be told that as we hadn’t given 24 hours notice we will forfeit our $120 booking fee. I understand policy, however I don’t understand the complete lack of empathy and humanity in refunding our fees. What I do understand is that policy is a guide and that those in charge can make fair and reasonable judgement in regards to unique situations outside of an individuals control. We took a responsible action in not attending the cruise so as not to infect local community members and staff on the cruise. I do not see how our booking of 3 people only hours prior to departure have cost this local business in any way. The Mildura information centre promote ‘Expect Better’ very sad they can not live up to that mantra. We put the Mildura communities best interests first, very disappointed that the local tourism and local paddle steamer business can not acknowledge that through a fair and reasonable refund.

Absolutely bad designed entrance for vans. We struggled to go through the corner entrance. Then went to park in 1 of the 3 long bays 2 taken by short vehicles. We had to move our van in town as if we stayed there the vehicle's in bays opposite didn't have room to back out without hitting our van. Whoever approved this parking had no idea of clearance needed for vans lengths . This is a not good enough for visitors to the information centre access to Mildura. Very disappointing. We did not go back to the information centre. Got our supplies and moved on.

Absolutely amazing artwork in a beautiful little town providing a unique experience and a true Australian experience. The silos are astounding, and set against the scrubby backdrop it truly makes you stop (literally and figuratively). Taking in all the silos was a fantastic experience and a brilliant notion to attract tourism to areas that would normally be bypassed.

Really fascinating place for camping, bushwalking and bird watching. Mallee eucalypts, river red gums, black box, dry lakes & creeks. Main camp ground is spacious, good facilities. Very few people there when we visited on the Anzac Day long weekend. We had beautiful blue skies in the day, clear sky at night with brilliant view of stars.

We enjoyed a short hike through the Wyperfeld National Park. Very nice and quiet area and nature, but I think the best time is spring when everything is in blossom.
Stephan K — Google review
A great quiet spot to camp, could of just been quiet when we were there. Drop toilets only and your able to have a fire in the designated fire pits, don't bother bringing or buying any wood as there is so much dead branches lying around you will have a fire for days, maybe just a small axe to make your life easier. The only issue with this place is was actually quiet axe sive for 2 people to camp and the same price if we went to a caravan park with flushing toilets and showers, I understand the funds go towards maintaining the park however I was a little shocked in the cost. Good location to set up camp for a few days to explore the area as there is so much walking and 4wd if this is your interest. All the wildlife aswell, we saw kangaroos, emu, snakes, hawks, and so many of local birds. Great spot and we will be back

Glorious in winter; if you like solitude this is the place to be! The Discovery Walking Track offers an easy sampling of the parks delights. However do take care when opening the information boxes, many also host a resident huntsman!

Beautiful campground, maintained by the community. It's donation based. There are spotless toilets, hot showers and a campground kitchen with potable water. Plenty of bins. When we arrived we circled the lake to get our bearings in regards to the orientation. It was end of the week, school holidays so there was a few campers around. We chose a spot right on the water, facing west, so we had a beautiful sunset from the camper. Next day we took the hike to the larger adjacent lake. Really nice campground, don't forget to donate for your stay!

Had a wonderful private tour of this historic homestead. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and did not hide his passion for the property.

These GrainCorp silos were built in 1939 and are now decommissioned. Artist Guido van Helten’s, finished his artwork in 2016, depicting four female and male farmers of the Wimmera Mallee region. The Brim Grain Silo's were the first to be painted, and its success inspired the establishment of the Silo Art Trail.
Garry P — Google review
A good parking area on the other side of the road with a few shaded tables. The pub is closed. What a shame. Don't park near the silo, you might not get the full view.
Chandi D — Google review
The father of all silo arts in Australia! This mighty silo art started the chain reaction of silo arts across Australia. It was painted by the Brisbane Street artist Guido van Helten in 2015. This is now one of the 6 silo arts in the 200km silo arts trail from Melbourne. I am so proud of our great artists, bringing out the souls of the very village they represent - the many many remote little towns and communities that adds so much depth, history and meaning to what the huge Australia continent is all about! Little little places where big crops grow, providing food to Australia and beyond! I just love getting out there, giving them whatever support aiming for a self sustaining Australia!

Camped at horseshoe bend, great paid campsite on the river. You must book online. Lovely swim in the river, flushing toilets and fireworks. No other amenities. Lots of kookaburras... And they are not afraid to steal your food from your plate. They were flying under our awning to steal food .. Even tried to grab the lamb out of the camp oven, still in the flames! (We did not feed them at all) leave nothing but footprints! 4WD ing some very soft sandy tracks through the park was a bit of fun. (If anyone finds the top 1/3rd of a sand flag... It's ours) lots of kangaroos speed around the waterfront holes, emus and other Birdlife.

Spent 2 days here and never saw another car, i guess with it's big brother not far away this little desert might get overlooked. Well worth the adventure. Didn't need to air down the sand was sticky due to the time of year. Easy enough to avoid the large mud holes in the road so a modest 4wd will get you there.

The Stick Shed in Murtoa is an absolute cracker of a stop! Built in 1941–42 as emergency wheat storage during WWII, this massive shed is held up entirely by huge unmilled mountain‑ash poles — it’s incredible that it’s still standing after all these years 😲. Fair dinkum, the scale of it will leave you gobsmacked 😮! The lady who sold me the ticket was full of history and super excited to share it 👏. Before you go in, there’s a quick three-minute video to give you the backstory, plus two other spots inside where you can learn more about the workers and hear their stories 🌾. It’s a National Heritage‑listed gem and a proper tribute to rural Aussie ingenuity. Definitely worth a detour if you’re travelling through country Victoria — a real piece of living history that’s well worth a sticky beak 😉.

As a Natimuk local, the National Hotel (our beloved pub) is more than just a place to grab a drink, it’s where the town comes together. Whether it’s a casual night out, a community event, or a post-climb debrief with visitors from around the world, there’s always a welcoming vibe and friendly faces. Bill and the whole team are absolute legends. They know your name, your order, and somehow always make time for a chat, even on a busy night. Their warmth and generosity create the kind of atmosphere that makes people want to come back, locals and travellers alike. There’s a great pool table, solid pub meals, and plenty of stories shared over beers. It’s not unusual to see climbers from overseas and old farming families sharing the same table, because that’s just how Natimuk works. This pub is the heart of our little town. If you’re visiting, don’t miss it, and if you’re lucky enough to live here, you already know why it’s so special.
Melissa E — Google review
Always a fan of the National Hotel in Natimuk. Super friendly locals, laid-back atmosphere, and a great spot to grab a couple drinks after climbing or exploring the area. Classic country pub feel—nothing fancy, just good energy and cold beers. Definitely worth stopping a visit when in town!

The Natimuk Pub is everything a good country pub should be, warm, welcoming, and full of character. After a long day climbing at Mount Arapiles, there’s nothing better than rolling into the National Hotel for a cold drink, a hearty meal, and a catch-up with both locals and fellow climbers. The atmosphere is always friendly and relaxed, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Special shoutout to Bill, whose hospitality and good humour really set the tone, whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time in town, he’ll greet you like an old friend. The pool table’s a favourite post-climb hangout, and the pub often becomes the unofficial meeting point for visiting climbers and Natimuk locals alike. There’s a real sense of community here, and it’s a big part of what makes climbing trips to Natimuk so special. Cheers to the team for keeping the spirit of the place alive, can’t wait to come back!

What a brilliant stop on the Silo Art Trail! The new Rupanyup Silo Art by Aussie street artist Smug is absolutely stunning — bold, detailed and full of local heart. The mix of golden paddocks, farming life and those cheeky little blue wrens gives it a real Aussie charm. It perfectly captures the spirit of the Wimmera — proud, hardworking and connected to the land. Pull over for a photo, stretch the legs and soak it in — it’s country creativity at its finest. A top spot for art lovers, bird watchers or anyone who just loves a good a bit of colour in the bush.

Staying next door and had a leisurely walk when the rain stopped. Lovely garden. Look well maintained! Double thumbs up to the care taker👍👍😃 Very clean, neat and tidy👍👍. Free entry to the garden. Some of the plants starting showing changing colour, when they fully changed, it would be more beautiful! Perfect place for family picnic. Toilets provided. I think there are 3 entrances to the park. Plenty of parkings. Unfortunately no dogs allowed tho. Highly recommend this when you come to the area.

Stopped in this week with the rugrat and friend. Beautifully set out and lots of shade and handy for a stroll along the river. Highly recommended.

Lots of work has gone into maintaining these gardens, enjoyable to walk around on a sunny day :)

Relatively small and would have been nice if it were not for a probably well paid gardener employed to cut the grass, who in the process literally demolished much of the grassed areas. Unbelievable. Wish I'd taken some photos Sorry.

First time I've been to a park that bans dogs, what rubbish. At least allow them in on leash like other parks do. Would have been a nice park otherwise

A must see place in Horsham. For that matter you can't go past this beautiful botanical garden without noticing it (if driving towards Anzac centenary bridge, Weir park, etc.) A well manicured, well maintained botanical garden with variety of Flowers, shrubs, plants, trees etc makes for an enjoyable walkabout. There's also a children's playground and barbeque area with toilet facilities etc towards the rear side of this botanical garden. Overall, it's a Good place to spend some time in Horsham.

Giant Koala

Tourist information center
Just a quick stop for fun. Lots of Oz souvenirs, cafe etc. Note no public toilets, only for paying customers. But good photo ops of all the big things we have over Australia.

The souvenirs shop inside the Giant Koala was closed when I passed by it after 4pm during my road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne in Easter holiday. The Giant Koala situated at Dadswell Bridge between Stawell and Horsham, and it is one of Australia’s iconic “Big things”. If they are open when you are driving along the Western Highway, you may take a break and stop for a snack or meal at the restaurant next to the Koala, or buy souvenirs and gifts inside the Koala. The Koala looked a bit weird and I just wanted to ask the designer why the Koala looked quite unhappy and for what reason the designer put some hairs inside the Koala's ears?😳 The Koala sculpture was erected in 1988, 37 years ago, so I am unsure if the designer can still answer my queries.

The Giant Koala shifts with the sky — brooding beneath storm clouds, gentle in the morning sun. Australia’s biggest koala and one of the nation’s beloved “Big Things,” it has weathered years of bushfires, droughts, floods, and the pandemic, standing as a quiet symbol of resilience on the road to the Grampians. Inside, the café and souvenir shop run by Pat and Doug for over a decade carry an old charm that feels like stepping back in time. The old zoo may be gone, but the spirit of the place remains. Pause for a coffee, take home a plush toy or keepsake, and share a photo with this Aussie icon. Support it, so the Giant Koala’s many moods can be seen by generations to come.

A gangsta in full costume was dancing in front of The Giant Koala when we arrived. He look like a serious G so we decided to let him finish dancing and I think they were shooting a music video because everywhere he danced, his camera-woman would follow. After 25 minutes my daughter got restless and just wanted to take her photo in front of The Giant Koala and go home because The Giant Koala was making her feel uncomfortable. G had plenty of energy because we waited a further 15 minutes for him to stop his hippity hop dance. It was captivating and irritating at the same time. Watching it was like staring into a campfire late at night when you feel sleepy and it’s drawing you in. So much so did we both feel it that my daughter suggested he was actually a wizard of sorts that was doing spells instead of dancing. After he finished, we shook off our campfire daze and approached The Giant Koala and asked it permission for a quick photo. Its eyes proceeded to pour out of its head like sand so maybe he was a wizard.

If your interested in the Big Stuff then this Koala is for you. A quick attraction to look at and have a rest.

Found this exciting Koala while driving on the highway. Very unique and has a restaurant next to it.

If you love kitschy big roadside attractions, then the Giant Koala is for you. It is the ugliest koala ever, but that's what's fun about it.

We had a great time with Steve and the bikes. The experience was really enjoyable and Steve was a very good host. He made sure all of us were comfortable and safe througout the session. Recommended for anyone who wants to have an adventure in the wilderness on a Quad Bike.. And many thanks to Steve again... :)

I usually don't leave bad reviews, but this was one of the worst and most upsetting experiences I have ever had whilst on holidays! The quad biking itself was fun but all was ruined for me by the owner/instructor Steve's downright nasty attitude. As a first time quad biker, I felt berated (strong word but warranted) every time I made a mistake. Every time I didn't brake hard enough, one time stopping over the designated stopping line and one time bumping (not smashing) into the person in front of me, and the two times when the bike got stuck in the mud, I felt nothing but intense frustration from him, instead of supportiveness, and was chastised, every time. Steve's behaviour may have been appropriate for reckless behaviour, but it was completely unwarranted for someone genuinely paying attention and doing every manoeuvre to the best of their ability, and even doing very well during the practices. We were just tourists and first time quad bikers wanting to have a fun time. All in all, his impatience, abrasiveness and bad-temper completely ruined what would have been a fun experience. Instead, it was one of the worst and frankly most upsetting experiences I have had in recent years. If you are considering joining them, I would recommend either catching him on a good day, or making no mistakes during your session.
