点评:After reading all the glowing reviews for Kimberley Spirit we were expecting a lot of our 13 day Kimberley tour with Scotty and he delivered plus more.
From being on Nyawoorn (houseboat) and kayaking on the Ord to the spectacular Bungle Bungles and the gorges, waterfalls and swimming holes along the Gibb it was one highlight after another.
Scotty’s knowledge of the Kimberley and its history added to our appreciation of it and his ability to arrange our time at various locations so as often we had them to ourselves was amazing.
It’s the little things that make the difference, like carting in and erecting a beach cabana on the sandy beach at Wunnumurra Gorge or stopping on top of a hill on a remote track to set up camp chairs in the bush for us to watch the sun set whilst enjoying drinks, cheese and bickies that he magically rustled up.
Our only regret is that we did not get to see more of Scotty’s lovely wife Taminga’s artwork. Next time.
Scotty is a Kimberley legend and everywhere we went the locals and staff knew Scotty.
Lost count of the number of times the comment at different locations from staff was “you’re with Scotty” as though that was all that needed to be said.
Scotty you are legend and a friend for life.
So put your big boy/girl adventure pants on and get into it.
翻译:读完《金伯利精神号》的众多好评后,我们对与斯科蒂一起的13天金伯利之旅充满期待,而他真的超出了我们的预期。
从在尼亚沃恩(Nyawoorn)船屋上体验,在奥德河上划皮划艇,到雄伟的邦格尔邦格尔山脉,以及吉布河沿岸的峡谷、瀑布和游泳池,我们一路上都充满了精彩。
斯科蒂对金伯利及其历史的了解,更让我们对它更加欣赏。他能够安排我们在各个地方的时间,让我们经常拥有属于自己的时间,这真是太棒了。
正是这些细节让我们的旅程与众不同,比如用卡车把我们运到温努穆拉峡谷的沙滩上,然后搭建一个海滩小屋,或者在一条偏僻小路上的山顶上停下来,在灌木丛中支起露营椅,让我们一边欣赏日落,一边享用他神奇般地弄来的饮料、奶酪和饼干。
我们唯一的遗憾是没能欣赏到斯科蒂可爱的妻子塔明加的更多艺术作品。下次再见。
斯科蒂是金伯利的传奇人物,无论我们走到哪里,当地人和工作人员都认识斯科蒂。
记不清有多少次工作人员在不同的地方说“你和斯科蒂在一起”,仿佛这就是全部。
斯科蒂,你是传奇人物,也是我一生的朋友。
所以,穿上你的冒险裤,加入冒险吧。
