This tour was without doubt the best experience ever. Jeff, the chopper pilot, was such a great guy. Great sense of humour and loads of interesting information. The dogs, including Nigel the very vicious terrier and Silver, the six month pup in training, were amazing. It was very clear from the moment we landed that the relationship between the mushers and their dogs was something I could have watched all day. The dogs love them and equally they loved their dogs. We were permitted to interact with the dogs as much as we liked and it was obvious that they were more interested in getting picked to be hitched to the sled to go for a run, than talking to us. These dogs are so fit and clearly love what they do. I could write about this fantastic adventure for hours but rather than reading my review, do yourself a favour and just go see and experience it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
Our thanks to the very experienced team of mushers for answering all our questions and sharing your dogs with us. We enjoyed telling you all how life is like in the Australian outback too.
