I'm in the Northern Territory working with Travel Freedom on two tours; Mulgas Adventures and Emu Run Experiences. Both have been fun and affordable products that showcase the best of this destination quickly and affordably. Our guide Chris has been one of many guides I've had in this part of the world but he's shown me heaps of new spots, taught me things I didn't know AND he dug up witchetty grubs for those brave enough to try them! 😱😱😱
