Your naturalist guide will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions, we drive west approximately 200 kms to embark on a remarkable journey back in time.
Our first stop is Skybury Coffee Plantation, where you can enjoy delicious local coffee, tea, and morning tea with your fellow travellers while looking out over the amazing view. Wander the gift shop and pick up yourself a treat!
From here we head over the Great Diving Range to the Historic Mining town of Chillagoe, famous for the Copper Mining back at the turn of the century. Once at Chillagoe, a local ranger will take you on a guided tour into another world to explore the Chillagoe Mungana Caves National Park. This is an amazing caving experience with a local guide. As you make your way through the limestone towers that rise above the flat plains of Chillagoe you will be amazed at the fossilised remains of this lost world and the great limestone formations that form this cave system.
We then go to the historic Chillagoe Smelters, Balancing Rock and see some Aboriginal Rock Art before enjoying lunch at a classic Aussie pub in the heart of Chillagoe town. Finally, visit Granite Gorge Nature Park to explore the lush landscape and get up close to the famous rock wallabies that inhabit the area.
