Australia self-drive and campervan holidays When most of us think about Australia, we automatically think of space and the freedom to move around. So what could be better than being free to explore on your own four wheels, enjoying the vast Outback desert, setting up camps with ocean views or taking picnics at deserted beaches? Our Australia self-drive holidays will give you the freedom explore Australia independently, but without the hassle of planning it all on your own. You can visit the Outback, the stunning East Coast, Sydney and magical Ayers Rock, travelling either by rental car or campervan. During your road trip, you'll enjoy unbelievably clear night skies filled with stars as you sit back and share travel stories around a campfire. You can hike through Kings Canyon and cruise across billabongs in search of monster crocs. Your adventure will be filled with camels, red dust, frill-necked lizards.. and much much more. Prices are valid until 31st March 2011. |
Australia self-drive itineraries
Australia self-drive holiday #1 Rainforest and reef drive
This is our most popular Australia self-drive holiday, giving you the chance to explore the beaches of the east coast from Brisbane to Cairns. During your trip, there will be several long days of travelling but these will be balanced out with plenty of time to enjoy a coffee on a terrace in the sun, take walks in the rainforest, take snorkelling and boating trips to coral reefs and visit picturesque islands along the coast. When it comes to your accommodation, we'll make sure that each night is spent somewhere memorable. For example, you'll spend one night at an Outback farm near the Steve Irwin's crocodile zoo and another at a retreat in the heart of the tropical rainforest. |
