July School Holidays 2009

Tri State Safaris will be sending one of our accredited guides to Mutawintji National Park during the July school holidays to conduct tours of the Historic Site for members of the public wishing to join in.

Our guide will be commencing tours at 11am Eastern Standard Time from the information bay at the campground most Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays during the holidays, as well as any other days that we have booked passenger tours - commencing Saturday 27th June until Monday 25th July. The group will then follow our guide to the Historic Site in their own vehicles to commence the tour.

The cost of the tours will be $30 per adult and $10 per child. Children under 5 years are free of charge. This will be payable to our guide at commencement of the tour. Unfortunately there will be no credit card facilities available, so payment in cash will be necessary - please have correct money if possible.

We would appreciate your patience if our guide is running a bit late, as on some of these days they will also have passengers with them who are doing a full day tour from Broken Hill - this can at times slow them down, but they will be there.

If you are intending to join a tour we would appreciate if you could notify our office on 08 8088 2389 prior to travelling to Mutawintji, so that we have some indication of how many people to expect for the tour. If you are not able to do this, you are still welcome to join the tour.

Thank you and enjoy your tour.

- June: 23, 27 & 29
- July: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, 22, 25

I would like, if I may...to take you on a strange journey

...
It seemed a fairly ordinary night when Brad Majors, and his fiancée Janet Weiss (two young, ordinary, healthy kids) left Denton that late November evening to visit a Dr. Evrett Scott, ex tutor and now friend to both of them...
It's true there were dark storm clouds, heavy, black and pendulous toward which they were driving. They were not going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening.
It was a night out they were to remember for a very long, long time...
