Lawrence was an amazing guide!! I really enjoyed the tea and scones with a view, and the Mira Mira falls were so beautiful. The Paronella park is something I could’ve lived without. It wasn’t that big a deal, but the other two were awesome. The waterfall was the best part.

It was a long drive. However, the trip was worth it. The scones served at the Teahouse at Lake Barrine were delicious. We enjoyed a big and sumptuous lunch before heading to our next destination. It was fascinating to see the Millaa Millaa waterfalls and Paronella Park was interesting. Besides being a good driver, Danny was friendly & very knowledgeable as well. It was an excellent tour. We highly recommend it!
