Fear for your life
I was sitting in the front right hand seat and had we hit any of the rocks we came so unbelievably close to then I would probably have died. Great fun, very skilful driving. Make sure you do the goldfields tour and stay for lunch as well.

Excellent day out on the river!
Caught several rainbows yesterday morning. Easy access to the river, so we were able to maximize time on the river. Mike is an experienced guide who was attentive and knowledgeable. Had a great time! Would definitely do it again!

Got one rainbow
Mike was on time and took good care of myself and Leighton from Sydney. unfortunately I was the only one to catch a rainbow on the day which was a cold one especially when shooting around in a jet boat, but who's complaining the scenery was great as normal the company also and I would book Mike again next time we come over and hope for a better catch. Thanks Mike
