About Australia Travel Plan Australia Travel Plan is a small specialist internet based Australia tour operator, offering you a unique way of travelling around Australia. Our Australia travel specialists will help you build your own trip, handing you complete control of your holiday. We pride ourselves on providing excellent service levels which continue throughout the life of your booking.Australia Travel Plan is part of Rickshaw Travel, an online adventure tour operator made by travellers for travellers. It is born out of the idea that there are hardly any independent travel options available for more adventurous travellers. Our trips are very individual, so we're able to use small-scale, authentic accommodation with local character and warm welcomes. With Rickshaw Travel, you won't find large group tours but instead you'll travel by trains, buses, private car, planes, and sometimes minibus. Flexibility and independence are fundamental, which is why we organise as much or as little as our clients wish. We also like to give something back to local communities, which is why we sponsor various charity projects. See our responsible travel page for more information. We're able to keep our prices low because we don't produce flashy brochures or run luxury shops. However you're more than welcome to visit our Australia specialists during your travel planning! We are based in Brighton, on the South Coast and we're the sister company of round the world specialists, Travel Nation. |
Jeremy BullAustralia Travel SpecialistThat place called ‘down under’ has always fascinated me; a country on the opposite side of the world, 32 times larger than the UK, where they drive in utes, say g’day instead of hello and cook snags on a barbie – what?!I first travelled to Australia in 2004 as part of an around the world trip. I spent over 7 months zigzagging my way across the country in my beaten up camper van and loved every minute of it! I had a working holiday visa and worked my way around the country picking apples, washing pumpkins, pruning peach trees and anything else that was thrown my way. Australia has so much to offer, unique wildlife, a rich and diverse heritage, cosmopolitan cities, 16,000 miles of coastline, some of the most stunning landscapes on earth and of course beaches, beaches, beaches. Some of the most memorable moments from my time in Australia are; swimming with whale sharks on Ningaloo reef in Western Australia, watching the sun rise over Uluru (Ayers rock) on a crisp winter morning, camping with the dingoes on Fraser Island and partying all night in Sydney. Most of all, the things that make Australia so amazing are the laid back friendly people, the incredible quality of life, the endless natural wonders, the awesome climate and barbies on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Australia will always hold a special place in my heart and I know that one day I will end up living there for good, for all the above reasons and also because my partner is a true blue Aussie. |

Haydn WrathManaging DirectorAustralia Travel Plan is run by Haydn Wrath.I left the University of East Anglia in 1984 and escaped what seemed a very grim England by spending the rest of the 1980s travelling and working round the world. During this time I put in some usual stints as an English teacher in Tokyo, a landscape gardener in Sydney and a tarmac layer's assistant in Alaska. In 1990, I joined Bridge the World Travel Centre in London as manager of the World-wide department, where I was able to put my degree in Politics and Philosophy to good use. I fulfilled my ambition to set up a specialist travel company in 2001 when I founded Travel Nation, and later in 2006 set up Australia Travel Plan. |
