Corroboree Billabong: Alain Klebert from Paris France 28/10/2011 – I spent “Just” a Beautiful day, a perfect day!!! I loved the Wildlife I was in Heaven, our guide Rosco was really nice to explain to me alot of things, and took his time to stop the boat when I wanted to. It was a good sensation to catch Barra’s and to feel their strength. It’s not a joke “I will not forget that day till my death”. Thanks again Alain.

2012 Barra Run Off Safari dates also now available.
