# 3: Wilderness Adventure, Tasmania

There's scope in Tasmania for every kind of wilderness adventure - from hard multi-day bushwalks to relaxing day trips from a comfortable base camp. We can arrange them all, in an area of the state that best suits your needs.
On our small island there are many opportunities for adventurous travel of all kinds. Whether you want to climb high peaks, explore rainforest or walk deserted beaches. We can find a place to do it.
Some people like to carry their own gear - others are happy with a day pack. We can put together a team of porters to do the grunting for you. Let them worry about their backs and knees, while you enjoy the scenery!
Believe it or not, we've taken a cordon bleu chef into the wilderness, and backpacked crayfish and Tassie champagne. But we're just as comfortable with fuel stoves and freeze-drieds. Which way do you want to go?
We know how to plan a Tasmanian wilderness adventure to suit your ambitions, fitness and budget. Our mountains and wild coastlines are waiting for you. Phone Richard Bennett today - or jot a note on your business card and mail it to us, and we'll send you a fact sheet detailing some of the exciting possibilities for your Tasmanian adventure.

# 6: Dunk Island Qld

Dunk is Australia's most beautiful tropical rainforest island.
This island of peace and plenty offers an amazing variety
of activities, facilities and experiences.
It was known to the first inhabitants as 'Coonanglebah' - the Island of Peace and Plenty. Today, Dunk continues to be Australia's most beautiful rainforest island. With an enormous variety of activities to choose from, it's hard deciding what to do next. You could start the day with a rainforest walk and take in the spectacular views from the summit of Mt Kootaloo. After breakfast, glide round the island on a guided jet ski tour, stopping off for a snorkel over the bommies at Naturalist Beach. During lunch you can plan the afternoon ahead. Perhaps some water skiing followed by a game of tennis. Or should that be parasailing followed by squash? And that's just one day on Dunk. You've still got to fit in a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a visit to the Artists' Colony, horse riding on the beach, and some fishing! But in between this frenzy of fun you'll still find time to relax and unwind. It's as if there's a powerful tonic in the balmy breeze washing away the stress. Dunk has a variety of restaurants and eateries designed to match your mood. The Beachcomber Restaurant more than caters for all those a la carte cravings. Then there's EJ's on the Deck, an island favourite with a savvy sidewalk cafe style. And BB's on the Beach is great for a relaxing bite to eat. With a postcard view across the palm-fringed beach to distant islands, the Plantation Bar is perfect for a quiet drink together. For the family, Dunk is as good as it gets. The Kids Club has its own meal times and activities so that mum and dad can enjoy being a couple again. Imagine the freedom and romance of a sunset sail, knowing that the kids are in safe hands and having a ball.
Dunk is a rainforest island paradise, Australia's tropical playground.

#2: Barnaby's Riverside

Barnaby's Riverside imaginative a-la-carte contemporary Australian cuisine or daily special blackboard provides excellent variety and value. The menu changes seasonally to take advantage of the freshest and highest quality ingredients.
A special Sydney experience is to get the Rivercat from Circular Quay upriver, explore Colonial Parramatta, our earlier centre of Government, and then lunch on the deck at Barnaby's overlooking the park and river. Barnaby's is perfect for celebrating a Wedding, Birthday, Christmas Party or Retirement function. Live music and dancing every evening.
The rustic old colonial building in which Barnaby's Riverside is now housed, first came to fame during the early part of the nineteenth century as the hiding place of the infamous Barnaby Templeton - the first prisoner to have escaped from Parramatta Prison. Restored and rebuilt by Michael Fischer in 1976, Barnaby's Riverside, Parramatta, now enjoys a reputation based more on its modern Australian cuisine than its somewhat colourful past. Step into Barnaby's Riverside and you step into a great chapter of Australian History.
