My wife and I have just finished a 22 day expedition on the Canning Stock Route with Steven and Alison’s tag along tour of this iconic track for 2026. It is an understatement to say that we both had a fabulous time! From Steven’s fascinating stories on the history of the stock route around the camp fire at 7 each night and Alison’s extraordinary knowledge of the plants and animals along the way, we can’t thank them enough for one of the best holidays of our lives. We will always keep these memories dear. I can highly recommend Steven and Alison’s tag along of the Canning to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in its history at a considerate pace with great company to boot. There are other companies that ‘do’ the Canning but I feel that Steven and Alison may be flying under the radar a bit as quiet achievers. Well done to you both, and if you come up with other expeditions like this, let us know, we’ll be there - though perhaps with upgraded shock absorbers 🤣

Professional service, able to really enjoy the walk and avoid a car shuffle. Alison was super friendly, big spacious vehicle and on time. We added a tip to help with the unexpected rise in fuel cost. If you need a track transfer...call Forest Explorers....They're great!

Alison was our tour guide for the Collie Mural Walk, which I joined last week. It was very informative and interesting to know the history and stories behind the Murals. I even discovered some Wambengers on the Voltage Lodge Building that my husband and I are repurposing to a mountain bike Lodge!! I'm enjoying walking around town and knowing a bit more behind the mural stories. I'd recommend The Mural Walk for visitors and for locals too!! Thank you, Alison it was fabulous!!

Riding the Munda Biddi, we wanted to skip a day and ride straight from Collie to Dwellingup. Alison was a brilliant discovery - picked up three of us, with bikes, from Crystal Valley and dropped us a more manageable distance from our target. Helpful, great value for money and a font of interesting local information as we travelled. And was a lifesaver when a mechanical issue spoiled the day later on.

We really enjoyed the Mural Walk in Collie with Alison and would highly recommend it.
It was extremely interesting to see the murals and to hear Alison’s description and background of each mural. Alison took the time to point out the finer details of each mural and shared her knowledge of the artists concerned.
We also appreciated hearing about the history of Collie and again Alison kindly shared her knowledge of this interesting town and its surrounds. Many thanks Alison….it was a great tour!

Alison transferred us from the Bibbulmun track near Collie back to Mandurah/Lakelands station after a great week walking from Dwellingup. She was very informative and helpful, and picked us up early to save us from the rain!

My wife and I joined Alison on her Collie town mural tour. It was really interesting to hear about the murals, artists and town history. Alison, a long time local, was a great guide and provided an excellent commentary. Highly recommend this walking tour to all first time Collie visitors.

Alison dropped of our group on the Bibbulmun at Harrison Dam, then picked us up 3 days later. Alison was on-time and her knowledge of the Bibbulmun was amazing, we will be using her for more drop offs as we slowly try and complete the Bibbulmun. Thanks Alison, for looking after us. Highly recommended.

We were transferred from Collie to Nannup, 3 people plus 3 bikes. Alison was so efficient and friendly to deal with. She kept us informed before and on the day, and was right on time to pick us up from our motel in Collie. Price was very reasonable and Alison was a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her to others. Thanks again Alison.

Highly recommended...we flew direct from Sydney to Busselton, transwa bus transfer to Bunbury, then the efficient wonderful Alison from Forest Explorers transferred us and our bikes to Collie for my Collie to Denmark Munda Biddi 70th birthday cycle. Alison also has a great knowledge of native wildflowers. Great for a transfer or a tour on the Munda Biddi or Bibbulmum or for a stay in Collie with lots of nearby tracks and trails.

We loved exploring the murals in Collie township with Alison. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and told us so much about the artists, the history of the town, the coal mines and the local flora and fauna. It's so easy to just glance at each mural and move on, but you'd miss the details without a guide to point them out. Definitely recommend this tour.
