Beat the Summer heat of the city and escape to the shady trees and cool clear waters of the Turon River National Park.
This will be a multi choice trip to start the year so you can choose your adventure.
You can camp with the kids on the 18th by the Turon by booking with National Parks, you can glamp at the Turon Gates Resort or you can just join us for a Day trip on the 19th..
It will be the school holidays so book your spot early to avoid disappointment.
The day trip will be split between a beginner group, with a route easily completed by standard low range Jeeps and advanced, a more challenging route for experienced and modified Jeeps only returning to Camp / River for lunch together.
