Your naturalist guide will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions all around we drive west approximately 200 kms to embark on a remarkable journey back in time. Our first stop is Skybury Coffee Plantation to enjoy delicious local coffee, tea and morning tea with your fellow travellers looking out over the amazing view. Wander the gift shop and pick up yourself up a treat! From here we head over the Great Diving Range out into the Western Water Shed area to the Historic Mining town of Chillagoe, famous for the Copper Mining back at the turn of the century. Once at Chillagoe a local ranger will take you on a guided tour into another world to explore the Chillagoe Caves. As you make your way through the limestone towers that rise above the flat plains of Chillagoe you will be amazed with the fossillised remains of this lost world and the great limestone formations that form this cave system. Discover the Chillagoe Smelters, Balancing Rock and Aboriginal Rock Art before making your way to a 100-year-old Aussie Pub for lunch. Finally, visit Granite Gorge Nature Park to explore the lush landscape and get up close to the famous rock wallabies that inhabit the area.
