We were so incredibly lucky to come across Tom. We were in quite a spot, finding ourselves stranded at the Pro Hart Gallery without transport. At the suggestion of Greta, at the Pro Hart Gallery, we rang Tom directly and he very kindly agreed to help us out. What followed was a fabulous day, doing all the things on our list plus more, beautifully coordinated by Tom. He is so knowledgeable which meant we got a lot more out of the sites we visited than had we gone on our own. He is highly intelligent, helpful, polite and obliging. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Tom!
We knew nothing about Broken Hill before this, but we left with a real appreciation for the place. Great introduction to the region!
Tom made us feel right at home. He knew everyone, shared great stories, and showed us places we’d never have found on our own.
