Journeys
Romance, indulgence, adventure, its your choice ...
Our interest and passion is Australia and its wonderfully diverse natural environment. Many visitors to Australia beat a well trodden path to the better known tourist sights – we try to ensure that you don’t run into the minibuses and the tourist throngs!
In selecting the properties that we work with, we do not have a checklist of 5 star accommodation standards that they must conform to. At times the accommodation is innovative, romantic though not lacking in creature comforts. The guides we use are often conservations in their own right, always local, and they share their knowledge and passion for Australia’s natural and cultural heritage. So much of the experience that you gain in Australia comes form the people and the stories they have to tell – the characters you meet on our trips will be down to earth, often irreverent in a uniquely Australian way, always friendly and genuinely hospitable.
Having said this, we also know that comfort and the best of local food is fundamental to enjoying a country’s natural experiences. We appreciate that it is the little touches that really make the differences.
Our range of services covers all aspects of your travel including regional flights, hire cars, luxury limousine transfers, scenic flights, charter boats ... we will even recommend and book restaurants.
Each journey is tailor made – after discussing the options with you, we combine contrasting experiences and accommodation styles. Using our first hand experience and working with professional and passionate people we design your journey.
