The Savannah Way traverses some spectacular landscapes and natural attractions, including Cobbold Gorge. It’s also Australia’s longest geocached route, so make sure you check out www.geocaching.com.au and plant your own geocache to join this fun family treasure hunt.
Our piece of the Savannah Way paradise offers a plethora of things to see, do, explore and visit.
