- Indigenous Australians Tour - Discover the amazing and diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, their histories and the issues facing them today.
- Australian Animals Tour - Meet many unique Australian animals, from the iconic koala to the most venomous snakes and spiders in the world. We also have pre-historic animals, such as the diprotodon (just imagine an animal that looks like a wombat but is the size of a rhino!).
