Saturday starts in Otematata, taking in the sights of Otematata Station, The Ida Syndicate block and the Otaitake Conservation Area, and ends after a trip through the historic Rise and Shine Road to Bendigo near Cromwell. Sunday Starts at Cromwell and climbs very high onto the Dunstan range before descending to 'The Shed' for Wine Tastings and a BBQ sausage sizzle.

The Safari is still all go. With the quake I have had quite a few pull out so Tom really needs your support.
