kids loved it
both my kids fell asleep coming back in the bus 9ys & 7yrs, did not get back to port doug. till 7pm too late .. we would do this again but only if a morning one was on offer otherwise No. kids loved it but would have loved to do the one 12yrs are able to do, mine would have been able to do it from this end I know, they are mental....disappointing there was no great photo shoot available either. the staff at travstar were very friendly to deal with on the phone and helpful. regards sally cluff
