Louise and Eileen share the story of their Day in the Wilderness Tour

Picture

Mum had always wanted to see the Tasmanian Southwest Wilderness, so I asked Paul and Michael to arrange A Day in the Wilderness for us as part of our Huon Valley Escape.
That's me, Louise, in the black and Mum, Eileen, in blue, as we prepare to board our flight.
This was so much more personal than a big airline flight. Our pilot, Thomas, had explained everything and was now waiting at the plane to help us with our bags and climbing up into our seats.
