A well organised, very enjoyable evening, highly recommended. - We had a beautiful cruise on the Thompson River, the captain and the lady assisting him were both characters. We had the most amazing sunset and then a full moon rising, a spectacular evening. When we arrived back at the dock we followed up the walkway to a spectacular setting under the tress with fairy lights, a bar, lovely decorated tables and the smell of our meal being prepare. A chap named Drew Blundell was playing his guitar and singing some great songs, he was very entertaining. Our meals of alternate lamb casserole or barramundi was served accompanied by lovely vegetables. The main meal was followed up with pavlova, a chocolate slice or cheesecake. All delicious. Tea and coffee was also available. A very well organised , professional and very enjoyable evening
