ITINERARY
Day 1: Familiarisation
Meet your guides, relax into your luxury houseboat and cruise through the cliffs and forests familiarising with your new environment. Step ashore for a gentle hike to explore the landscape and create an aspirational memory. A wholesome lunch awaits, then rest and prepare for a cliff hike gazing over vast floodplain country and imagine the cultures of this ancient landscape.
Sit and enjoy your own time and let your mind flow down this watercourse as it nurtures the life around it, yourself included. A therapeutic hot spa over looks the river as you continue your mindfulness practices. Post dinner and the dark sky paves the way for watching the stars on the water from the top deck or your bedroom window.
Day 2: Immersion
Sunrise reflections and the early sound bath of birdsong start your day. A wholesome breakfast leads into a top deck yoga class before embarking on a peaceful guided paddle through the backwaters dwarfed by shady redgums that line the creeks. Post lunch we bathe in the forest by exploring, touching, listening, and feeling its regenerative powers, sharing afternoon tea and stories that heighten our awareness of our inner selves.
Drift back on our open cruiser as the river current ferries us to our comfortable house on water. Post dinner we take a nocturnal walk into the floodplain to listen to the sounds of the night, frogs and owls and the silence of remoteness under a blanket of stars.
Day 3: Reflections
Our time together starts with early morning yoga and senses tuned into nature, journalling our observations and mindfull of the sounds of the bush, reflecting on our shared experience, and recording our individual journey. As we cruise and lunch together, there is time to reflect on our experience with each other before departing with a new sense of calm that only the Murray River provides.
