Need a holiday? On first instinct you might be tempted to look overseas, but please don’t forget about the treasures we have on display in our on backyard. Australia is a vast land, and Sydneysiders especially tend to stay in their own East Coast bubble – but our recent adventures with Contiki showed us just how phenomenal a little Down Under exploration can be.
We traveled with Contiki across the country and put ourselves straught into vacay mode, exploring familiar icons like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, an afternoon beverage at Bucket List before doing some things we never dreamed of – putting in some elbow grease at a cattle station across the border in Queensland, and a breathtaking walk through Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. See how it all went down below, and head on your own little national escapade now:
