outback tour with Aussie Heritage Tours and Graeme Heritage gave us a tour of a
lifetime.
It was the highlight of our trip.
His competence as a driver and his knowledge of the Australian outback
is impressive.
He attended to detail and assured that we saw the highlights of the
outback but never compromised our safety or comfort.
We will recommend this trip to anyone who intends to go to

4 day “Flinders Ranges, Arkaroola
Odyssey”. August, 2004
Dear Graeme.
We want you to know how much we enjoyed your Flinders Odyssey last week.
Thank you for putting in such an unstinting effort to show us around.
Your knowledge is encyclopedic and very much enhanced what we were seeing, in terms of scientific facts,
history and anecdotal yarn it is obvious to us that you know the area extraordinarily thoroughly.
Indeed, your vehicle seemed like a horse given its head - strong, steady and knowing every bend in the track.
(Does that sound like a compliment to your driving skills? Well, it was meant to be!)
Anyway, we couldn't have had a
better 4 days. Even the weather was perfect - though one of us would have
reveled in the excitement of a flooded river or creek. Thanks again! We've no
hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family.
Cheers.

3 day “Tailored Tour” Wilpena &
Arkaroola. August
2003
Special tour included a
flight between Wilpena & Arkaroola.
Dear
Graeme...
You are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of
Australian history, life, customs, geology, culture, etc.
We learned a great deal from you so from that standpoint,
the trip was informative and educational as well as fun and exciting.
Day two was the highlight of the three day adventure...
The flight gave us a very different perspective of the
Flinders that you just can't appreciate from the ground.
It was just the right time also... about 1 hour... time
to see everything but not get tired of sitting in the plane.
The early morning weather provided smooth flying and
seeing the sunrise from the air was special.
We did get to see Wilpena Pound... not great light but we
saw it and that's all that mattered.
The ridge tour is a must do... particularly after seeing
it from the air... then seeing it from the ground. Massive, impressive,
exhilarating, and the guide, like you, was extremely knowledgeable, informative
and fun to be with.
The afternoon hike with you up the gorge was also a
highlight... it was a nice pace, quiet, beautiful and a very personal way to
"experience" the natural beauty. We commented that we enjoyed
that day as much as any single day on the trip.
The Arkaroola compound was also fun... a bit more rustic
than Wilpena but the accommodations were clean and fresh and the overall
environment gave you a good feel for the outback.
The Observatory tour at night is also informative and
fun.
We had a great 3 days... we learned much from you
and appreciated your hospitality and thoroughness.
We'd be happy to offer references for you... just let us
know.... some good photos to follow in a few days...

Dear
Graeme,
Sorry it's taken so long to write and thank you for all you did to make our
tour such a fascinating adventure.
You are
one of the most knowledgeable guides I have ever worked with.
It’s
obvious that you have spent a lot of time in your territory and that you love
it very much.
We loved the variety that your tour provided and the pacing was also very
appropriate for us.
You also
make your clients feel very safe and secure in your hands.
I would recommend to others that they travel with you.
You
provide a very unique kind of experience in a wonderful part of the world and
do it very, very well.
I will be sending photos but not until sometime in June.
Thanks again for everything.
Best wishes,
Gail.

Graeme,
We very much enjoyed our trip to the
It is
very obvious that you are extremely knowledgeable about the area with so many
facts and history at your fingertips.
Because
we always have lots of questions, it is nice to travel with a guide with an
abundance of knowledge.
I felt like you hit the balance pretty well. The flight at Wilpena was a
great idea to give us the real feel for what Wilpena Pound was all about.
Without,
that viewpoint it was really impossible to see the topography of the
area. Your travels through the gorges and over the ridge tops
let us see much of the beauty of the area. The ridge top tour at
Arkaroola carried that theme though nicely.
Your
follow on Arkaroola tour let us see things in more leisurely detail.
One of our favorite things always is to see the native animals in their normal
habitat. Your tour allowed us that pleasure with many sightings.
We
enjoyed seeing the small towns in the area because they tend to show the
history of that part of the country.
Something that we would not normally see.
As too the negatives. I think that we were
mentally unprepared for all of the flies in the outback.
I would
suggest that you prepare your guests for that as you are heading into the area.
(Ed. The drought of 2003 wiped out large numbers of
Dung Beetles throughout the center, fly numbers increased as a result).
Furnishing
the nets for those of us who couldn't get past the flies issue easily made the
situation much more tolerable and
allowed us to look at the scenery and walk around without much
discomfort.
We enjoyed the trip with you very much and would definitely recommend it to
anyone with an interest in that part of the country.
Good luck and best regards,
Bill & Shirley.

a wonderful time I had last week on the Arkaroola tour.
Your superior driving skills
and your all encompassing knowledge of the land stand by themselves and make

is a great idea – no decisions to make along the way, just the fabulous
landscape to enjoy and marvel at.
