DO Experiences team, met with Paul, Chris, and Ross yesterday at Helloworld Gisborne to receive the action-packed itinerary for our upcoming Northern Territory adventure!
A big thank you to Paul for all your assistance in putting together this amazing experience – we’re all super excited to return, and it will be Andrew’s first time visiting the NT! 😯

We got to enjoy sitting at the beautiful DO Goodwood table during our meeting – such a great touch that made the experience even more special. ❤️

Can’t wait for the journey ahead! Stay tuned… 📷 🐊 🌅 🌵 🏜️
