lovely and charming
This great and marvellouse one day trip, which I certantly can recommend to anyone, was not only due to the fantastic nature of Atherthon Tablelands, but became even more interesting because of Jane`s (the guide) lovely and charming way telling us all about the history of this unik area of North Queensland. Thank you Jane for the most fantastic day.
