DESCRIPTION

On arrival at Club Boutique Hotel, say g’day, grab a drink and then head out to the campfire and pick your seat. Meet other travelers as well as some local characters. Meet Les Capewell retired boss drover or another local entertainer. Watch the whip cracking demonstration by the pro, old Les, and have a go if you want. Our local characters want to share their yarns, life experience, stories and culture of the Australian Outback with you as you experience old fashioned hearty busk tucker, with good times and great company. This lunch will be a highlight of your adventure. During lunch enjoy the stories and yarns, then swing the billy for a cuppa.

Be amazed as you travel around the town with a local miner and hear the stories of the past and present miners all searching for the perfect stone. Take a mine tour then get cracking some nuts of your own with the guidance of a long term miner who will help you cut and polish your find.

With your own opal in hand, we will depart in the late afternoon for the heritage town of Eulo, where you can experience the mud springs and a tour of the town before departing to Cunnamulla for another magnificent dinner.

Travel back 100 million years in time in the Artesian Time Tunnel and learn all about the Artesian Basin and how it opened up this area to settlers. Browse through the museum and don’t forget the regional gallery, which hosts stunning works of art.

You can have a sleep in today as you have been given a late check out! Enjoy your last breakfast and pack your bags as you head off on your last journey around Cunnamulla. Visit the local shops at your leisure and you may find that special souvenir or gift you are looking for. Enjoy a hearty lunch before bidding your new mates a fond farewell.
