An amazing experience I enjoyed every minute.

We've just come back from a week of hard work setting up the glamping campsite and facilities at our Kinrara Expeditions Wetlands Retreat, ready for our first full trip for the season, starting in just a few days.

Anywhere else in the world this sunset would be once in a lifetime view, but we were amazed to be treated to sights like this almost every evening as a reward for our hard work during the days.

Sunsets over the wetlands are stunning, with swans silhoutted against the brilliant colours of the sky.
