If you're on our mailing list, then you were the first to know 😉

Our Mount Gambier Caves, Sinkholes, Volcanoes Adventure is returning to the Big Heart calendar THIS DECEMBER 🥳🥳

It's been a couple of years since we've offered this one, but gosh we LOVE this itinerary! It's a 4-day multi activity geo-nature immersive ADVENTURE. The name kinda gives it away 🤣 but think World Heritage Naracoorte Caves, the Umpherston sinkhole, snorkelling the spectacular underwater world of Ewens Ponds, kayaking the Glenelg River in Lower Glenelg National Park, all topped off with a winery, a bit of trail time and lots of slow time in nature.

4th to 7th December - it's an ideal pre-silly season getaway!

With limited phone coverage in the Flinders Ranges, we haven't been able to share regular updates from our Heysen Adventurers up there, but they walked their last leg yesterday 🥾

Our Flinders Ranges Heysen Trail Adventure covers the final 85km of the iconic Heysen Trail from Black Gap through to Parachilna. So yesterday, our crew walked 18km from Aroona to Parachilna Creek, and last night they celebrated with dinner at the historic Blinman Hotel.

AWESOME effort team!!! Well done 🙌

Over the last week, our walkers have had a bit of rain with the Flinders continuing to transform its landscape into lush green vistas! After so many dry years, it's a sight to behold. The wattles, bush tomatoes, sennas, and hop bushes are all in flower, making the trail so colourful. It’s been a good trip for spotting yellow-footed rock wallabies too. Our team spotted them on three of the five walking days.

For those keen to check out the Flinders with its landscape transformed, our next Heysen Adventure departs in August but is fully booked. No need to despair though… we still have spots left for our Ikara Wilpena Pound Adventure that departs on the 3rd July for 4 days. Links to both are here:

Today, our team took it easy on the drive back to Adelaide, enjoying morning tea in Quorn and lunch in Melrose.

That's enough talk, let's now enjoy these pics courtesy of Ian and Mark… the creeks have water in them and look at the mosses between the rocks and boulders!!! Wow 😍

Last Saturday, the rain held off for our Big Heart Wellbeing photo shoot and video session in Himeji Japanese Gardens. Gosh, those gardens are lovely! We got some beautiful shots of our participants and the tranquil surroundings. Big thanks again to all who helped out 🙏 This pic is a tiny behind-the-scenes snippet from across the lake. The Himeji Gardens are such a special place... and right near the city centre too! You'd never know it when you're there.
