This was very interesting... - This was very interesting and we bought interior kelpie tour tickets ahead of time at a suggested time by our guide to match our private tour. We also purchased the boat trip on the wheel which was very worthwhile. Only a private tour available otherwise I would have preferred a group tour for the money.
