Sandboarding was so much fun we went in the late morning thus no other tour buses were around yet. Lobster shack was wonderful, we didn’t have to wait long for the food. Martin shared insightful knowledge abt the Pinnacles and took us to good spots for phototaking. A stroll in the National Park in the evening to see the koalas and kangaroos was a great closing ceremony. Thanks Martin! We had a blast! read less
