Big
Bend By Night Tours

emerges after sunset. Observe large mobs of
kangaroos and wombats feeding on native grasses and irrigated pastures, see

These tours are exciting as well as informative
as we identify the animals from their reflective eyes shining in our bright
spotlights.

involved - blankets are even provided on the cold nights! This tour can be
enjoyed by adults and children and it certainly has to be seen to be
believed!!
