Amazing day out in nature and seeinh platypus - A real gem in Mackay, it is a lot more then seeing platypus, Michelle knows so much about the area and the nature. Seeing the cute platypus is a bonus. The lunch was amazing and the waterfall is a fun stop along the way.

Cancelled this day tour - I had booked this tour, it said: "Ages 0-100", but a week or so before the trip day I got a message that the trip includes "stairs and steep inclines and some small overwater parts" so it actually doesn't sound as if it's for people between 0-100 years of age. I cancelled but did have a feeling that this trip was already booked full for a group of backpackers who were also on the next day tour when we went to cape hillsborough.
