15.01.2022 National Geographic Australia say #Velociraptors have been misunderstood ever since they were featured in #JurassicPark as giant scaly dinosaurs that hunted in packs and disemboweled prey with sickle-shaped claws. Velociraptors were actually feathered animals and they grew up to 45 kilograms, about the size of a wolf. They most likely hunted solo, using their claws to clutch rather than slash prey, when they roamed central and eastern Asia between about 74 million and 70 million years .

08.01.2022 We’ve got a new review! Sharon D just left a new 5-star review of Cocky Guides: I have been on quite a few trips with Cocky Guides and I can highly, highly recommend them. ... My latest trip to Tasmania was incredible. Buck and the team really cares about their clients and do whatever they can to accomodate your request/s (where possible). If you are one who has been thinking I'd like to do that with Cocky Guides, don't hesitate to give Buck a call and take it from there. You won't regret it!

08.01.2022 It was very exciting to lead a small group of blind and low vision travellers to Blue Mountains Lavender Farm. The image in this post has been more than two years in the making! See the image description below to learn why. Image is Louise, owner and founder of #BlueMountainsLavenderFarm and Cocky Guides Leader Buck, standing in front of the cottage garden next to the farmhouse. Two years earlier we were employed by the same employer, and since that time, we have both launched and been building our own businesses. It’s fabulous that we have been able to link our journeys for a brief moment. #Lavender #BlueMountains #BlueMountainsNSW #BlueMountainsLavender #LavenderLou #ThatsCocky #CockyGuides #LoveNSW #SensoryTourism
