I'd never even thought of an amphibious craft excursion, but from the first our journey in this pink beauty was fascinating. Marine drive, 2WD, 4WD, a powerful transport bringing us past dolphins, stingray, sea eagles, up a steep climb to an historic lighthouse and its graveyard. Plenty of passion-and knowledge about the area, fine picnic lunch with classic billy tea.... more

We were traveling with two under 3 year olds so went with the short afternoon teaser trip. This was billed as a research trip but the UQ researcher never showed up. They took us out for a short sunset time jaunt onto the sand flats. We also got the requisite 'storm the water' experience (nobody got too wet). It was... more

Just spent 3 days in 1770 and went on a day trip aboard the LARC vehicle which stands for Light Amphibious resupply Cargo, to Bustard Heads Lighthouse. At first we weren't quite sure what to expect from this pink monstrousity but boy were we surprised. This vehicle is amazing, built by the yanks in 1966 to act as a resupply... more

This was simply a wonderful day. The LARC is a great mode of transport. The scenery on the way to the Bustard Head Lighstation & from the Lightstation were spectacular. Luke was a great driver. Paul our tour guide is obviously passionate about the area & history, with lots of interesting commentary. Loved the stops for exploring for shells. Nice... more
