Welcome to Cradle Coast Tours based on Tasmania's central coast! Hi, my name is Howard Smith, a very experienced local tour guide, and I always look forward to showing you around my beautiful backyard.

You'll see the very best that Tasmania's north coast has to offer, from the
majestical, world famous grandeur of Cradle Mountain, the rugged beauty of the Leven Canyon, through to the timeless beauty of the historic fishing port of Stanley, with its unusual natural feature, The Nut, keeping guard over the village, and the delicious delights of the Tamar Valley featuring superb food and wine.

Cradle Coast Tours offer specialised Boutique Tasmanian Day Tours and Trips. Jump on board and enjoy expert commentary offering a great and unique insight to this wonderful part of the state. Allow yourself to relax and experience the casual charm of your personal guide...

Southern Highland Fling

Welcome to the Spring/Summer edition of the Southern Highland Fling.
Any season, there is a reason to visit this beautiful region in New South Wales, Australia.

Positioned halfway between Sydney and Canberra and an easy freeway drive from both capitals, it has much to offer. The flourishing wine industry now has 14 diverse cellar doors, some with excellent restaurants and cafes.

We are introducing three new columnists in this issue. Urbane wine connoisseur, Robin Twist, shares his knowledge with us in his witty critiques of selected local wines in "A Twisted View," and we asked Robin Murray, "The Highland Chef" to 'put his heart on paper' about his life-time passion for food. As well, Malcolm Murray gives us his personal insight about golf courses in the Southern Highlands in the first review of a series.

Artistic life flourishes in the Southern Highlands, and there are many and varied excellent galleries, societies and courses to enjoy. Antique lovers are well catered for and our book trail is legendary.

Accommodation varies from quaint B & B's to five star resorts with spas and the Visitor Information Centre at 62-70 Main Street, Mittagong has an accommodation booking service. Whether you are looking for a romantic weekend away for two, a family holiday or an effective business conference, they can organise your bookings free of charge. (Phone 1300 657 559)

There is much happening during Spring/Summer. Tulip Time is the flagship event for the Southern Highlands; a not-to-be-missed event!

Nature lovers are also well catered for. There are peaceful country walks, lookouts over incredible gorges and waterfalls, canoe and kayak meanders down pristine waters, bird watching and cycling. You can be as active or relaxed as you please in this beautiful, addictive region with the rolling green hills.

So, from the team at the Southern Highland Fling, we wish you a wonderful time as you 'Celebrate Country Charm' in the Southern Highlands... Bradman Country.

HARRY NANYA TOURS

Specialising in tours to

World Heritage Listed

Mungo National Park


Hi Folks

My name is Graham Clarke I am a traditional Paakantyi aboriginal.

Harry Nanya Tours is my company and for 15 years people from all over the world have been joining me on a journey back in time through this ancient land.

Lake Mungo is a part of the Willandra Lakes system, back in 1981 it was listed as a World Heritage site and is now documented as one the oldest places for human occupation dating back to Aboriginal life from around 60,000 years ago to the present day.

The lakes dried up an approximate 18,000 years ago now the shores known as“The Walls of China” or “lunette” for its 30km crescent shape of sand dunes now shows clear evidence of camp fires and cooking hearth of the aboriginal people as they sat around the once full lake.

Now with the natural erosion, the shoreline stands with eroding pinnacles of sand and clay in vibrant colours of the earth

and breathtaking scenery's.
