Wild River Explorer

Herberton, Queensland

Day One. Meet and finalise the packing of the donkeys. Then a short day though river flats and stands of Forest Red Gums to camp at "Bullocks Crossing" on the Wild River. They will have some time to explore the local history, settle into their camping routine, and perhaps be fortunate to view platypus in the waterhole next to the camp. Day Two, after repacking the donkeys, cross an interesting basalt plateau through open Eucalyptus Woodland to Pannikin Waterhole campsite. Hidden in a bend on the Wild River, this pristine campsite with a sandy beach and deep pool, is seldom visited by others. Enjoy a late lunch then have time to explore the cataracts further downstream or swim in the many clear pools nearby before dinner in front of the campfire. If the skies are suitable, walk through the night sky to identify the Milky Way and stars above us. Day Three. Tuck into a cooked breakfast of bacon and muffins, strike camp and re-cross the basalt tableland for a picnic lunch and a swim en-route. Complete the return to Kalinvale Farm to unpack and farewell the donkeys.
