Mysterious Lake George and Haunted Collector Tour
This tour is on hold, but we hope to restart in 2025.
Join Tim the Yowie Man®, Australia’s only cryptonaturalist, on an evening of discovery as we explore mysteries of enigmatic Lake George and step back into the bygone era of bushrangers at one of Australia’s most historic (and haunted!) villages.
- Investigate the mysteries of Australia’s largest fresh water inland lake at a number of stops – walk onto the lake bed and even check-out a hidden convict canal.
- Indulge in a two course dinner in one of Australia’s oldest pubs, Collector’s 150 year old Bushranger Pub.
- Walk the streets old Collector Village (it’s not just ghost and ghouls, you’ll be surprised with what lurks in the hidden underbelly of this historic place).
- Embark on a ghost tour of the Bushranger Pub (if you dare!).
- Enjoy a fireside supper with mulled wine amongst a stone circle (Stonehenge replica).
