I enjoyed the tour, but just felt that we could have spent a little more time at the smelting plant, even a 15-min stop would have been good to explore the area. The rest of the stops - the caves, the balancing rock and the rock wallabies at the end was fun. Daniel, our guide was good with his driving and commentary as well. If only the pick-up was earlier - 6.30am instead of 6.50am - we may have had more time. But overall, a fun tour.
