the new Wildflower 2012 guide is now out & it is time to consider making your bookings early to secure your tour & accommodation.

Due to the fact there is limited accommodation available in small towns such as Kalbarri & Cervantes, it is normally  very difficult to secure accommodation in the September peak season when the flowers are at their best.

So let us know if you would like more information on booking a tour to see our magnificent wildflowers in 2012!

well it has been a while since I posted an update on the blog.

We have been busy with tours & also with a new busines we have for executive chauffeur vehicles. So what's happening around Perth at present?

Well being summer it has been hot weather with some very hot days strung together in a row. We have also unfortunately seen some bushfires in our south-west again, although they have not been near houses & have burnt through bushland that is away from the main towns.

It has been great weather to be near the water or on the water. Tours around the beaches have been popular as have tours for people coming off cruise ships. It is nice to be able to show visitors what a lovely place Perth is on their brief stop-overs.

We are still doing a lot of tours down to our lovely south-west region & seeing the caves, lighthouse, tall timber, pristine beaches, chocolate factories, cheese factories & much more has not been affected by the fires at all.

If you are interested in booking a tour over the coming months please contact us. The weather will be a little milder from March onwards & it is normally a nice time of the year for tours.

Bye for now & will blog again soon

just returned from a few days up north in Cervantes, Geraldton & Kalbarri seeing the wildflowers & other lovely attractions. The wildflowers at Kalbarri are excellent this year & will keep improving over the next month or so.

The Pink Lake at Port Gregory was also very pink in clour & just an amazing & almost eerie sight to see. Kalbarri waterfront with river & rivermouth & ocean are just as beautiful as ever & a truly wonderful place to stay. The sunsets were fantastic & the georges a stunning contrast to the coastal cliffs & ocean views of the townsite.

Wildflowers will also improve at Cervantes & Mount Leseur over the next month or so & this can be done as an easy day tour from Perth.

Contact us now to book a tour before the season comes to an end for another year!

well winter is providing us with much-needed rain for our dams & also our native bush & forests. This is shaping up well for a good wildflower season in late August through to December, with September being the best month as the first month of our Spring season.

Bookings need to be made early if accommodation is involved, either up north in Cervantes or Kalbarri, or down south in Margaret River or Albany. Our wildflowers attract visitors from all around the world & accommodation can be booked out during this time at certain locations.

If you would like more information on wildflower tours, please contact us.

on a recent tour around Perth & Fremantle we were asked many questions that we could not answer & have never been asked before. Our tours are normally about taking you to the places of interest for you to experience them yourself. If you are a real history buff or like lots of statistics eg. population numbers & demographics, real estate prices etc, then at the time of booking your tour please ask us to provide this information for you.

We will then research this specific information for you & have it ready to provide for you on your tour. As our business grows & we meet people from all around the world, we are continually learning about the many different expectations people can have from a day tour.

As we constantly strive to improve our tours & level of service we provide, we will continue to appreciate any feedback & any requests for specific requirements from our customers. The beauty of our private tours is that we can plan the content & locations specifically to your needs.

Thank you again to everyone who has already provided a testimonial or feedback on our business & please continue to help us make our business even better.

Bye for now!

we have had some worried friends & family who have seen the media coverage of the recent Perth fires & wondered if we were safe.

Although it is devastating that nearly 100 homes have been damaged or destroyed in these fires, the reality is they have been confined to a relatively small area of Perth suburbs in the north-east. The fires were in an area that we normally do not visit on our tours, so we have not had to make any adjustments to our normal day tour itineraries.

Australia has certainly had some very severe weather recently with the east-coast having flooding & the cyclone, & now Perth with these destructive fires. We will continue to donate money to those affected as a percentage of our business income as well as our own personal donations.

We aim to be involved in our community as a business & to try & help those that need it wherever we can. We know that many other businesses are also helping out which is just great to see. We know that it will take time but homes will be rebuilt & people will get their lives back together. Those of us not affected can only feel very grateful for everything we have.

Bye for now,

Busselton Jetty will be reopening for the first time in years on February 5-6th. Plan now to take a tour from Perth for the day, or better still, stay over for a night or for the weekend & see so much more the region has to offer.

Enquire now for more details & to plan your own visit to this iconic landmark.

Bye for now,

I know many of our friends overseas are very worried about all of us in Australia due to the devastating flooding in many parts of the country. I am sure that the scenes being shown by the media are very concerning & disturbing, as they are to all Australians also. So here are some facts about how Perth is being affected.

The good news is we have no flooding at all in Perth or any of our surrounding towns & regional areas that we regularly visit on our tours. The flooding that has occurred in WA is in the far north of the state & very far away from Perth. Whilst the flooding is far away, we have had bush fires closer to Perth south of Mandurah, about an hour & a half from Perth. Families have unfortunately lost homes & all their possessions in this disaster also.

As Aussies we help each other in times of need & we have already donated to the aid efforts to help the families of these disasters. We will continue to help as much as we can by donating money from all of our tours this month & will review what else we can do beyond this time. We encourage anyone that can make a donation to please do so to help these families who have in many cases lost everything.

For anyone planning to come to Perth, there is no disruption or restriction, so you can be confident these terrible disasters will not affect your visit. Our weather is still very sunny & hot at present with temperatures in the high 30s & clear blue skies. The irony is that we still need rain desperately in Perth to fill our dams. If you would like any further information, please contact us.

we have had some enquiries regarding the Queensland & Carnarvon flooding that is being shown in the media coverage around the world. We would like to clarify that this unfortunate situation is affecting the eastern states of Australia & the northern most parts of WA only.

Here in Perth & surrounding areas we have no flooding at all & in fact are still in very dry drought conditions. There are no restrictions at all to any of our normal tour locations & with hot weather forecast again for the end of this week - 35 degrees celcius, our fine, sunny weather continues.

Bye for now,

Danny

we hope you all had a lovely Christmas spent with family & loved ones. We also want to wish you all a safe & prosperous 2011!

We are into some of our best weather for tours over coming months, so book now for a wine tour or a longer stay in our beautiful south-west region. With the school holidays ending this month, accommodation will be more available & it will be less crowded to tour around & visit the local attractions.

Don't forget we now have the Mercedes which can carry up to 7 passengers in total comfort, so you can get together with some friends & share the cost to make your tour even better value.

Lyn is just completing a 5 day trip to Margaret River & everyone has had a fantastic time with lots of beautiful scenery, world class wines to taste, & some amazing meals at the many great eateries the region has to offer.

So think about planning your tour & book now to secure your dates.

Bye for now,

Danny
