Activity itinerary

Burra

Starting from either the Clare or Burra Visitor's Centre, we can also collect you from accommodation in Burra. We recommend taking our Burra and Mount Bryan day tour as a second day following Clare to Red Banks. However this can be taken as a standalone tour to explore Burra and the spectacular region nearby. We start the day with breakfast and coffee at the cosy St Just Cafe, with time to explore the town square and high street. We then embark on the Heritage Passport tour, choosing from 11 National Heritage listed sites, including the Monster Mine Site, Morphett’s Engine House, and Redruth Gaol. Each site tells a storey, from Burras bustling mining days to its cultural evolution. We travel at your pace, with time to explore. We then take lunch to go from Burra or pick up from Hallett Country Store on the way out to Mount Bryan (dependant on opening times). While in Hallett, we stop to say hello and check the unique store and grab a snack before heading out towards Mount Bryan.

Mount Bryan

Heading east from the Barrier Highway, we drive past the spectacular Razorback Range and Mount Bryan to Sir Hubert Wilkens cottage. Restored in 2001 by Dick Smith and the Australian Geographic Society, we take time to reflect on the life of this legendary explorer and his Burra origins. We continue along dirt roads to Dares Hill Summit, taking in the spectacular view before exploring William Dare's ruins and heading back towards Caroona Creek. As with everywhere we travel, we take time to stop, take photos and relax, discuss the indigenous and European histories of the region, and admire the wildlife. This is an area with dramatic views, and an abundance of kangaroos, wallabies, emus and a chance to witness the spectacular wedgetail eagle. Heading towards Caroona Creek and back out to the Barrier Highway as the daylight draws to an end, we stop at the famous Midnight Oil house from the 1987 masterpiece 'Diesel and Dust'. As the sun sets, we take in the view on a good day out.

Clare Valley

Returning to the Clare Valley with a broader appreciation of the landscape and history of the region, after plenty of fresh air and open headspace, you can look forward to a meal at one of the many quality establishments in town. We can assist you to find the ideal place to spend your evening based on your tastes and preferences. At the conclusion of the day, we can return you to the most convenient location in the area.
