$1000.

Although a $100 deposit now will reserve your place.

We require the remaining $800 to be paid by mid-November. 

With the right gear a bit of rain might be what is required to make it memorable.

If we deem the forecast is for unsafe weather conditions (eg. bushfires or cyclones) then the trip will be postponed.

We suggest booking flexible flights or purchasing travel insurance for this unlikely scenario.
