Australia: Finding Adventure

Posted under Travel-General

While the economy is making people cautious with there money, adventure holidays offer an outlet for fun. One way to exercise caution whilst still having adventure is by choosing holiday rentals in domestic getaways for your vacation this year. Holiday accommodation prices are falling as owners and hoteliers put sales on to ensure a strong flow of traffic. Thus, as there are so many places in Australia to visit, you’ll be sure to find something offbeat and entertaining to challenge you at a price that will please you. Here are five of the top adventure destinations in the country to help you get started with your planning.

The Kimberly Region:

You’ll not be finding any posh holiday rentals out in the Kimberly, as this area caters to the truly adventurous. Bush skills will come in handy as you explore the cliffs and gorges. Hiring a guide might be advisable!One option is to book a scenic plane or helicopter flight and then land to some serious wilderness hiking and camoping.Staying the night around here could be camping or a friendly bed and breakfast.

Great Dividing Range:

The mountains here are perfect for skiing, climbing and white-water rafting.No matter which country your from it's possible to appreciate the challenge involved in climbing Mount Arapiles. Holiday accommodation here is usually a small hotel or ski lodge, with some camping available as well. In the summer month some of the skiing is not available, so you’ll have to choose between coastal adventures and skiing tours.

Murray River:

Winding along for 404 miles, the Murray River provides a wealth of adventure.You can either base yourself in a holiday rental for the trip and enjoy day trips rafting or you can go longer distances on an organised tour with multiple stops. Start at the border of NSW and head for the sea—it’s a feat many attempt but not all accomplish. Why not have a few bragging rights off your vacation this year by trying it?

Northern Territory (NT):

Trekking the Northern Territory can be a daunting adventure. The stunning visuals of the topography and the limited access make it a worthy challenge. Aboriginal laws restrict some travel to marked trails for spiritual and safety reasons. The less restricted areas still require you to check in with rangers, but the adventure of it all is thrilling. You can camp, trek, climb, go four-wheeling or any number of other tough adventures. Make a Darwin accommodation booking to start your trip and then head out to explore the state and it's national parks.

The Great Barrier Reef:

After all the inland adventures, head for the Great Barrier Reef. Quintessentially Australian, holiday accommodation here is more than a simple bush camp.Get a buzz while snorkelling and scuba diving viewing amazing marine life or learn to surf, bodyboard or even kite surf. The Reef is magnificent—there are so many adventures to be had in the water than you can almost forget the beautiful beaches. Almost. Holiday rentals in the high season are very hard to come by, but getting a group together and renting a house on the beach can make for a truly memorable holiday stay. Small cottages, fancy furnished condos, and simple bed and breakfast boutiques are available. The most popular areas are Port Douglas, Cairns and the Whitsundays. Make sure you book Airlie Beach accommodation or for any other popular area well in advance.
