ITINERARY
Day 1: Adelaide to Port Lincoln
Your nature
roaming adventure begins as we head towards Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula, where
our ferry will set sail across the Spencer Gulf towards the Eyre Peninsula at 9
am. Grab a coffee at the onboard café, relax, and enjoy the two-and-a-half-hour
cruise across the gulf.
On
disembarking in Lucky Bay, jump back on the bus to Port Lincoln. Have some free
time in Cowell to buy lunch and see some unique silo art. Upon arrival into Port
Lincoln / Galinyala, be greeted by proud Barngarla woman Emmalene Richards for
a Welcome to Country ceremony.
After a quick
stop in town, arrive at Mikkira Station Koala Sanctuary to set up camp. This
private property is home to the Eyre Peninsula's only wild koala population and
has many kangaroos and emus to spot.
Relax with
your new friends over dinner before rolling out your swag under the stars of
the Milky Way.
Today, travel
around 370km.

Day 2 – Coffin Bay (or aquatic experiences)
After breakfast, head up the coast to Coffin Bay National Park. Famed
for its white sandy beaches and wildlife, spend some time exploring, swimming
and relaxing.
A visit to Coffin Bay isn't complete without tasting the region's famous
oysters, so you can choose the optional extra of pulling on some waders and
joining the Coffin Bay Oyster Farm Tour. Wade out to a semi-submerged tour deck
in a working commercial oyster farm and learn about these delicious molluscs
from the farmer himself. Get a hands-on shucking lesson and taste oysters plucked
straight from the ocean.
For those not wanting to don the waders, you can set out on the Oyster
Trail walk or relax over a coffee or lunch at Oyster HQ whilst soaking up the
views over Coffin Bay.
Later, back in Port Lincoln, enjoy some free time to explore the town
and enjoy a spot of wine tasting at Boston Bay Wines before we head back to
camp.
Alternative Itinerary
Those coming to Port Lincoln to get up close and
personal with the aquatic wildlife can opt to have a Great White Shark
experience or swim with the ever-playful Australian Sea Lions. These outsourced
activities are not included in the itinerary and must be booked directly with
Calypso Star Charters. Please see Optional Extras for more information.
Drive time today is about 1.5 hours unless you are doing the shark
experience, in which case it is only 1 hour.

Day 3: Port Lincoln
Surfing is a way of life in
Australia, so today, pull on a wetsuit for a two-hour learn-to-surf lesson. The
turquoise and calm water of Fisheries Bay is the perfect place for beginners to
perfect their skills. Those not wanting to surf can relax on the beach or swim.
The National Trust of South
Australia cares for the world's natural and built heritage and relies on the
support of volunteers to protect and preserve special places. So, this
afternoon after lunch, roll up your sleeves for three hours of conservation
volunteering at Brinkworth Reserve. Our activity depends on the time of year
but could involve collecting seeds, weeding or planting trees whilst learning
from their passionate volunteers.
Head back to camp via Lincoln
National Park and Wanna Lookout, then relax over dinner.
Today, travel approximately 60km.

cover, so say farewell to the wild Eyre Peninsula, travelling to Port Augusta
for lunch and to see some impressive silo art along the way. Come late in the afternoon and arrive at Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. The fossils in this
landscape are so unique that geologists had to revise the geologic timeline of
Earth's history to encompass a new era called the Ediacaran period. It is also famed
for having some of the clearest skies in the Southern Hemisphere, perfect for
stargazing.
Stretch your legs on the Arkaroo
Rock Trail, a significant cultural site for the Adnyamathanha people with impressive
views over the Chace Range.

stories of the Adnyamathanha People. Learn about Culture and Traditions, Bush
Mai (food), artefacts, and medicinal plants, followed by a cultural smoking
protocol.

dip in the resort swimming pool in warmer weather. With
a better understanding of Aboriginal culture, spend the rest of the afternoon
