Bookings by Arrangement
Our all-purpose designed 4WD Hummers will transport us to the spectacular Stockton sand dunes for an adventure of a lifetime, touring across the massive 40 metre high dunes on route to the Sygna Shipwreck, a 58 thousand ton Norwegian bulk carrier washed ashore by strong winds in 1974.
Then it's off to the 'Pyramids' and old WWII site. At this stop we can do some Sandboarding down a 35 metre dune at breathtaking speed.
'Tin City' is next, emerging like a mirage out of the sand dunes. It began in the late 1800's when 2 tin huts were built to shelter shipwrecked sailors. As there are some 98 shipwrecks along that part of the coast, the huts increased in numbers in the 1930's.
A number of movies have been made at 'Tin City' including parts of Mad Max and the pub still stands there! As we make our way back to Newcastle we stop off on the beach for a Pipi Catch and Release.
