1770 Holidays – Ride the LARC

For a trip you will never forget, jump aboard the pink army LARC, an amphibious craft that will take you for a thrilling ride across deserted sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and pristine estuaries as you make your way to the isolated Bustard Head Lighthouse located within Eurimbula National Park.

You’ll hear the tales of tragedy and triumph as early white settlers and lighthouse keepers struggled to tame this remote wilderness. You will see some of the prolific wildlife that inhabits the area and you will gasp in awe at the spectacular panoramic view from the historic Bustard Head Lighthouse.

And on the way home, you can experience the thrill of sand boarding down the towering dunes of Middle Island.

The LARC’s (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo Vessels) are named in honour of Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Daniel Carl Solander, the two eminent botanists who accompanied Lieutenant James Cook.

Day Trip includes morning tea, lunch and an Aussie Billy tea.
