As the sun sets, we’ll crank up the campfire and your Adventurous Women Host will get the evening meal underway. After dinner relax by the fire, enjoy some social time, marvel at the stars & serenity, or retire to your own space - read a book, listen to music, meditate, do a little yoga - it’s your time!

Accommodation: Unpowered Private Camp D'Entrecasteaux National Park
After a relaxed start to the morning, we’ll be met by our 4WD Guide at camp and set off on our full-day tag-along 4WD adventure tour. This experience is so diverse, as we explore a range of different terrain in our vehicles, from forest to beach and dunes. A great introduction to 4WDriving, testing what your vehicle is capable of and yourself, in a safe and supportive environment, exploring a beautiful part of our state and of course …..the thrill of the adventure!
As we drive in convoy, our 4WD Guide will intermittently provide interpretive radio commentary and share more info with us when we make our stops along the way - Roger That!! There are plenty of places we stop to take in those picture postcard views, marvel at some hidden gems, experience the diversity of wildlife & birdlife pristine to the area, explore the Karri forest, go wildflower spotting, play in the dunes, learn more about the history of the area from our guide and witness the start of the largest landlocked sand dune system in the Southern Hemisphere, Yeagarup in the D’Entrecasteaux National Park!
We finish out the day on a high, head back to camp to celebrate, reminisce and share our stories of the day around the campfire. Tonight we’ve arranged a good ol’ fashioned camp stew for dinner YUM!
