Peter of 69 Tours was the guide for our private tour. Excellent tour. Being the only two on the tour, Peter flexed the tour when he saw what we were interested in. For example, although the focus of the trip was the Moonlit sanctuary, when he saw our interest in some of the houses in Brighton , he made stops for photos and drove us into that area to see more. He stopped and took us to Brighton beach to photograph the painted beach houses / sheds.
The best part of the day was the Moonlit sanctuary. We got to feed and pet several kangaroos, including a large male and his mate . Also fed wallabies. Peter chose this sanctuary because it was a smaller one with fewer tourists,
resulting in a more intimate experience than the one in Healesville. We were there on a hot weekday when school was in session. Often times , we three were alone while touring the sanctuary.
After the sanctuary, Peter put us on the Eagle cable car up to Arthurs Seat. He drove off to get a traditional fish and chips picnic lunch while we rode up. He met us at the top at a picnic table. Instead of just water, Peter had a variety of drinks available for us. One tip, take more pictures from the cable car ride up. We had a car to ourselves, but thought we might get better views from the top. However the summit was overgrown with plants. Peter did stop on the drive back down for us to take additional pictures.
Due to being tired on a hot day, we passed on the bush walk.
Highly recommend this private nature tour!
