      Excellent day with Bluey and 11 other guests. 4wd truck very well equipped, but expect an extremely rough ride in and out of the Valley. Recent floods have destroyed parts of track and brought in huge qty of sand on others. Bluey is very knowledable and enjoyed commentary and his driving skills immensely. The walking track is covered with a lot of sand but still ok. Once in a lifetime experience. As is National Park there are covered shelters and seats for respite from the sun!

      Great day: tours guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. Good driving into The Valley over rough terrain. Each stop was just right in terms of time. Not normally a tour type person but really enjoyed the day!
