    We had a great day travelling through the Mary Valley with Joel’s Journeys. Morning coffee was unique and the coffee very good. The scenery was spectacular as we made our way to the `Rattler’ and the town of Kenilworth where we had a great lunch and time to explore the town with its famous cheese factory. A walk through the forest with the amazing Fig Tree ended the tour. We highly recommend the tour which was conducted in a most efficient and pleasant way.

    This is a well planned and very well organised tour. Joel is very knowledgeable and has gone out of his way to ensure that he researches the local area before conducting each tour. He deserves the well earned title of Queensland’s best tour operator. The complete experience, including watching the Rattler arrive and rotate was brilliant.
