“Who would have thought Cunnamulla had so much to offer? The best part of it all was the friendliness of the locals. Everyone was so welcoming and introduced us to some unique adventures in our own back yard.  Special thanks to Lisa... what an amazing leader. Great local knowledge, and huge amounts of fun.  More special thanks to Stef, Loretta, Ed, and Chris. We both can’t speak highly enough of the trip and the new friends that we met.”
