The guide book that was included was very helpful. Even more helpful was the advice given by the bus driver at each stop. The driver also gave some brief interesting info regarding the area. My only recommendation for improvement would be if the bus service ran more frequently, as the 1 hour intervals sometimes required a bit of waiting time at some of the stops. But overall, this was a great option for seeing the different parts of the park, after taking the train from Sydney.

Bus driver Mark suggested we walk on the cliff edge path from stop 6 to 7. Then go to Scenic World, experience the rides and have lunch at the cafeteria. Both activities were excellent.
