Adventure travel has never been so much fun! Adventure is to Australia, what porridge is to Scotland. I personally spent a month on a camping tour. Even a month was only long enough to see less than half of the country.
In my late twenties, I, like many Brits before me, decided to embark on a tour of duty of Australia. Adventure travel has never been so much fun! Adventure is to Australia, what porridge is to Scotland. I personally spent a month on a camping tour. Even a month was only long enough to see less than half of the country, but that included many exciting and breathtaking visits. I found that a camping tour added fun to the whole trip, because I was mixed in with a range of people from different countries and of different ages.
From the Colonial splendour of Melbourne, to the modern pomp of Canberra, where Australia's political machine weaves its webs. To the cosmopolita of Sydney, with its famous beaches and extravagant nightlife. These three cities alone are worthy of visiting alone. Without the history perhaps, of Europe, there is still enough stories to here to keep everyone entertained.
However, for my money, the real fun starts after you leave Sydney and head north to Brisbane, the tropics and beyond. Because of it's size, Australia plays host to a wide range of climates, and a south to north trip allows you to experience all of them. The beaches of the eastern Gold Coast are breathtaking, especially if you can get to see them before they get packed out. What's more amazing is the Great Barrier Reef. To witness this magnificent natural beauty via a glass bottomed boat or by snorkel (or both!) is a treat not to be missed.
Brisbane is a beautiful town (in my opinion), but the trip further north brings you into the tropics, with Australia's own rain forests, together with crocodiles (either in farms or in the wild if you are brave enough) and all that nature can provide.
I cannot let this short interlude go without mentioning the raw beauty which is Katherine Gorge. My favourite spot of the whole tour. Take the full tour of the river and relax in God's own back garden. And there is a good chance that you will see some wild crocs too, although those here are the smaller and less dangerous fresh water variety.
Then to Cairns and up to Darwin. Oh the humidity in Darwin. But look out for the monuments to Hurricane Tracy that devastated Darwin all those years ago. And then south through Alice Springs, the camels, the kangaroos, Ayers Rock, and then Coober Pedy, where the occupants still live in caves and the cars have no brakes! You can mine for opals, or try and find the Devil's Marbles - and I guarantee you have never seen anything quite so strange. This trip for you was a whistle stop five minute tour, but take the time to do it for real, and you will not be disappointed.
