WHAT IS A YHA HOSTEL?

> OVER 120 SUPERB YHA HOSTELS IN AUSTRALIA‌

>

GREAT VALUE ACCOMMODATION

YHA MEMBERSHIP

There are YHAs located in all the major tourist destinations, as well as some in the rural outback. All have 24-hour access. YHAs provide good quality budget accommodation. Sleeping accommodation is provided in multi-share rooms, with many hostels also having single, double/twin and family bedrooms. (Upgrade) Bed linen is provided, although you need to bring towels. To maintain the cleanliness of hostels, sleeping bags are not permitted.

A valid YHA MEMBERSHIP is required by guests staying at YHAs. This can often be purchased from your local YHA or HI Association or travel agent in your own country before you leave. Alternatively, you can buy a membership card from AUD $37 at your first YHA hostel in Australia. Membership enables you to use any of the 120 YHAs in Australia and 4300 worldwide, as well as providing discounts throughout your travels.

FACILITIES YHAs are designed with fun and leisure in mind. Social areas include games rooms, barbecue decks, a swimming pool or spa. Services range from travel desks booking local tours, cycle hire, currency exchange, internet access and much more.

ADVANCE BOOKINGS Both YHA and Greyhound offer advance bookings for accommodation and bus travel respectively. During peak travel times, it is strongly advised that you pre-book both products.

THESE PACKAGES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR INDEPENDENT TRAVELLERS

The accommodation vouchers described in the following pages entitle you to accommodation in MULTI-SHARE rooms. Single and double rooms are available, subject to availability. If you upgrade to a twin or single room and want to use a voucher, you will be required to pay the balance between the discounted value of the voucher and the cost of the room to which you have upgraded. Accommodation vouchers can be used for a MAXIMUM OF THREE consecutive nights at each YHA hostel. For additional nights, normal hostel rates apply.

KIWI EXPERIENCE WILL GIVE YOU THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. SO CHECK OUT THE DETAILED ITINERARY BELOW - STOP DREAMING AND GET GOING! NORTH ISLAND Auckland to Paihia (Bay of Islands) We arrive in the spectacular Bay of Islands at midday so you can explore the many options and activities Kiwi Experience has on offer. Take advantage of all the great discounts and allocations on popular activities through your Driver Guide. Check out the Treaty of Waitangi grounds, swim with dolphins, take a leisurely cruise in the Bay or jump in a faster boat for an adrenaline rush. Paihia to Cape Reinga return An action packed day up to the very top of New Zealand. This area is very sacred to the Maori people and is where you can actually see the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet. Sand boarding down the giant dunes, walk through the ancient kauri forests and drive at 90km per hour on 90 mile beach! Paihia (Bay of Islands) to Auckland Take part in any of the activities you haven’t done yet, and head back mid afternoon to Auckland. Auckland to Mercury Bay Depart for the Coromandel Peninsula and spend the afternoon at Cathedral Cove, accessible only on foot or by kayak - a beautiful coastal spot, great for swimming, sea kayaking and spotting dolphins if you’re lucky. Stay in Whitianga for the night - a great place to jump off and explore the rest of the Coromandel Peninsula. Mercury Bay to Rotorua Visit to the Karangahake Scenic Reserve to explore a native bush-clad gorge and swing bridges, before continuing on to Rotorua - the geothermal and cultural centre of New Zealand. We stop in at Tamaki Tours to experience a taste of Maori culture with ‘Realm of Tane’ - free with Kiwi Experience. Go luging, zorbing or take a dip in a natural hot spring before experiencing one of New Zealand’s premier Maori Hangi and concert in the evening - a night not to be missed! Rotorua to Waitomo Caves Today we start with a visit to Te Puia, a large geothermal reserve and Maori Arts and Crafts Centre, before driving through to the Waitomo caves. The caves are made out of limestone, about 40 million years old. We spend the afternoon checking out Ruakuri reserve and walkways. As always your Driver Guide

will organise great discounts on a range of fantastic activities in Waitomo to do the following morning. Waitomo Caves to Taupo After a morning packed full of activities we head in the direction of the central plateau and major backpacker destination - Lake Taupo. Free Day Taupo Experience one of the many activities on offer in Taupo which includes skydiving, bungy jumping, fishing as well as New Zealand’s most popular one day walk - The Tongariro Crossing. If you have time, head off on ‘East As‘ - our four day, three night unique trip around the East Cape which takes you to places few travellers get to see. Stay in small communities and experience Maori culture as a living reality. Taupo to River Valley We head south to the Tongariro National Park for a trek through native bush, waterfalls and braving the cool mountain streams of this alpine volcanic region. We travel through to one of New Zealand’s only true adventure lodges - River Valley. This location offers some great activities including horse treks and whitewater rafting on the Rangitikei River. River Valley to Wellington We spend the afternoon heading south to the nation’s capital, Wellington. Among other things, Wellington is home to the largest cultural attraction in New Zealand, Te Papa Museum which is well worth a look (and it’s free).

SOUTH ISLAND Wellington to Nelson via the Cook Strait We take the InterIslander ferry across to the South Island via the stunning Marlborough Sounds. In summer a swim at the Pelorus Bridge may be available before arriving into Nelson, the gateway city to the Abel Tasman National Park. As always, your Driver Guide can offer great trips and great discounts to get you up into the park. Nelson to Westport Head for the Nelson Lakes National Park for a walk in the forest and a visit to one of the more spectacular lakes in the area

surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains. En-route to Westport we meet the crew who have travelled from Christchurch and will join us as we hit the West Coast. Stop in at Buller Adventure Tours to meet the team for jet boating, quad biking and rafting trips on or next to the mighty Buller River. Westport to Lake Mahinapua Highlights today include Cape Foulwind seal colony, rugged beach walks and the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes. Our destination for tonight is the famous Mahinapua Hotel where your Driver Guide will arrange a group meal for everyone before taking part in the legendary ‘Poo Pub’ party. Lake Mahinapua to Franz Josef Visit the Bushman’s Centre to get an insight into how people did - and still do - make a living in the harsh environment of the West coast. Then it’s through to the Franz Josef Glacier village, nestled in the Westland National Park. Your Driver Guide will take you up to the Glacier lookout for a taste of what you might be doing the next day.

Welcome to the Feejee Experience

BULA! PICTURE FIJI AND YOU THINK OF SUN, SAND AND COCKTAILS. IT IS. BUT THERE’S SO MUCH MORE. FIJI’S ALSO A PLACE OF REAL CULTURE AND ADVENTURE.

We get you off the tourist trails and in touch with the real Fiji – perfect for travellers who want an on the edge experience. Fiji is made up of 2 main islands - Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, plus smaller island groups. The islands remain steeped in ancient tradition. In many parts of Fiji life hasn’t changed for centuries. Feejee Experience takes you to those unique spots where you are often the only tourists in sight. Throughout your trip you will interact with the local Fijians including visits to remote villages and a school, experiencing overwhelming hospitality. In the outer islands of Fiji you’ll discover tropical rainforests, spectacular coral reefs and white sandy beaches. All islands offer opportunities to get stuck into water sports, diving or just lying in the sun.

The Fiji experience. Experience the heart of Fiji with our Hula Loop pass. The Hula Loop explores the main island of Viti Levu and is the heart of all of our passes. The Lei Low pass includes the Hula Loop and a stay on the famous Beachcomber Island.

Hop on and hop off. Your Feejee Experience ticket is valid for 12 months travel so take advantage of any opportunities that may spring up along the way. Hop on and off the bus wherever you like.

The best value. A whole host of activities are included in your pass: sandboarding, trekking, river tubing, trips to secluded waterfalls, bilibili rafting, bathing in hot pools, sampling sugar cane and more...all of this is included in your journey and will enhance your understanding of local life.

Freedom of choice. We will hold beds for you in our preferred hostels for each overnight stop. This will ensure you don’t go without a bed. However, if you would like to stay somewhere else we will book this for you and drop you at the door of your selected hostel.

Local drivers and guides. Our drivers and guides are our biggest assets. They give you a real insight into life in Fiji outside of a tourist resort.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

14

Do it your way

What is included when I buy my pass? Coach transport and services of your Driver Guide - including commentary and booking accommodation/activities. Your trip includes visiting heaps of places that would cost you extra if you travelled on an express service. You’ll have access to some of the best experiences and memories of your life. You pay separately for accommodation as you travel but this can be booked en route by your Driver Guide. Ferry crossings between the North and South Island of NZ, meals and optional activities are not included in your pass price. Feejee Experience includes most activities listed in pass price.

Will there be a seat for me? If you confirm 48 hours prior to departing you have the best chance of being guaranteed a seat. You can book anytime but the more notice then the better chance you have of getting your seat guaranteed. In peak seasons it pays to plan a little bit ahead. Remember Kiwi Experience departs more than any other backpacker network so your flexibility is that much better. Feejee Experience departs up to 4 days a week so check with our reservations team before you depart.

Can I change my departure dates or cancel my ticket? To change your departure date just phone the Kiwi Experience office on (09) 366 9830. You will need to confirm/change your dates 48 hours before travelling. Kiwi + Feejee Experience tickets are non-transferable and non refundable once you have commenced travel. If you have not yet started your pass you will need to contact the agent from where you purchased the pass for a refund.

How long can I travel for? Your pass is valid for 12 months from when you first start travelling with Kiwi and Feejee. You have up to 12 months to start your pass from the date you purchased it. Each section of a pass can only be travelled once.

What should I bring? Sunscreen (SPF30), insect repellent, water, credit card, walking shoes, swimwear, towel, clothes, camera and other electronic gear such as an iPod if you don’t want to listen to your Driver Guide’s music! If you have large items such as a surfboard or mountain bike, please let us know when you are booking so that the Driver Guide can make room on the bus.

How much money do I need? People travel on different budgets so this depends - you can estimate $20 to $26 per day for hostel accommodation, a minimum of $10 to $25 a day for food and beer, and the activity options are almost endless. We suggest you do a little independent research with a Lonely Planet type of guide book for further estimates.

Do I need to book activities before I start my trip? You don’t need to but can if you wish. Your Driver Guide will book and arrange activities as you travel. When you book through Kiwi + Feejee Experience, you will often get a discount on many activities saving you a lot of well earned money.

What sort of accommodation is used? We usually stay in backpacker hostels in the main overnight stops, but we also stay in an old west coast pub, on an outback farm and at an adventure lodge in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand. Most rooms are quad share and most places have the option of a twin or double room for a bit of extra privacy. Many of the hostels don’t require a sleeping bag and can supply full bedding for a small extra charge of $1 or $2. The one thing in common with all the places we stay at is that they are located where the action is. Your Driver Guide can book your accommodation for you once you are on the trip.

What age limits are there? It’s about your attitude not your age as quite a few 40+ backpackers have experienced our trips and had a ball! The majority of our travellers are between 20 and 30 years but there is definitely no upper age limit. If you are under 17 you must travel with your legal parent or guardian.

What if I’m travelling on my own? The majority of our travellers are travelling solo and you already have something in common to start a conversation… you’re both travellers, not just tourists! You’ll meet all sorts of people from all over the world and quite a few locals too. We’ve had people start off as strangers and become lifelong friends forever.

NADI

You and your travel companions will be descending on Fiji at different times today so there’s no set activities arranged. This gives you the opportunity to explore Nadi town at your own pace, prior to our group meeting at 6pm. Overnight Beachside Resort

We make our way to the Coral Coast. We visit a local market before moving on to the village of Namatakula. We meet our hosts and are welcomed by the head of the village tonight with a traditional sevu sevu ceremony which includes dancing, singing and kava drinking. Day 3 is a free day to explore. There are many optional activities available to keep us busy and the highlight tonight is the lovo - a traditional meal cooked underground. (B, L, Dx2) Overnight Village Stay

The day is spent travelling back to Nadi along the King’s Road, a long and sometimes rough road that circles around the northern side of the island and is dotted with villages, farms, small towns and roadside stalls: a great way to see Fijians going about their daily lives. We have time to organise our gear for tomorrow’s trip out to the Yasawa Island chain. Overnight Beachside Resort

Tour group at LitchďŹ eld National Park

WHY TRAVEL WITH ADVENTURE TOURS? :: WHY TRAVEL WITH ADVENTURE TOURS? Australia is BIG – and fascinating beyond imagination. So many travellers only scratch the surface by driving the highways or riding regular public transport. Our aim is to give you a much more genuine Australian experience than you might achieve by other means. And chances are, it won’t break your budget!

:: WE GIVE YOU CHOICE! The Adventure Tours Australia Group has the greatest variety of tours catering for the adventure traveller. As well as many exclusive features, we offer tours at different levels of ďŹ tness, accommodations from swags under the stars to snug beds – and trip lengths from day tours to several weeks.

:: OUR GUIDES ARE PASSIONATE AND THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! Although others will make the same claim, they’re at least one step behind us and more likely three! We’ve led the ďŹ eld with our own industry recognised in-house training program for more than 9 years and our trophy shelf needs strengthening, featuring state, national and export awards including three prestigious Australian Tourism Awards. We have an excellent safety record and a proven history with countless happy customers.

:: WE LISTEN! Every customer has the opportunity to give us their thoughts in our on-tour survey form – or by writing to us. By listening, we reďŹ ne our tours to keep them tuned with what you want.

:: THE WORLD RIDES WITH US! As well as 40+ nationalities joining our tours on a typical day, we know exploring Australia isn’t right unless you have opportunities to meet real Aussie locals too. You’ll know when you do meet them.

:: WE USE SUPERIOR VEHICLES, CAMPSITES AND ACCOMMODATIONS! We buy new models – with the 4WDs purpose-built. Large windows and forward facing seats give comfort and the best views. All are air-conditioned. On most camping tours we stay in our own campsites with permanently erected tents, fridges and shower/toilet facilities. Some of our more remote 4WD tours and enjoy the tranquillity of simpler campsites. Our accommodations include hostels, motels, sheep/cattle stations and wilderness lodges. Some are exclusive to us.

:: OUR SIZE IS OUR STRENGTH! We cover most of Australia! This means we can offer the best mix of price, quality and value, while each tour is individually special. You will be part of a small group with the peace of mind that we have the appropriate insurances and accreditations in place to look after you, your friends and family. Our size also enables us to provide strong operational support whilst travelling in remote locations.

:: OUR TOURS EDUCATE! As well as being fun and informative, our tours will introduce you to the wonders of the indigenous culture, ora, fauna, geology, botany and history of our totally awesome continent. This education is offered by a company and staff who are culturally sensitive to Australia’s indigenous peoples and our travellers from across the globe.

:: WE HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIENCE BUT ALSO ACT CONSCIOUSLY! Protecting natural environments for the future is critical for all of us. Because nature is also the greatest resource for our enterprise, we happily put time and money into sustaining this shared future including working with the following organisations: t $POTFSWBUJPO 7PMVOUFFST "VTUSBMJB XXX DPOTFSWBUJPOWPMVOUFFST DPN BV t (SFFOJOH "VTUSBMJB /PSUIFSO 5FSSJUPSZ ("/5 XXX HSFFOJOHBVTUSBMJB DPN BV

Sunrise over UIuru is magical! It’s an early start to catch it. While the morning’s fresh (and your legs are too!) take a walk around Uluru’s base, or climb to the top if you choose – however, the Anangu traditional owners prefer if you don’t. Gain a further insight into the land, its stories and the people who inhabit it at the Cultural Centre, where you’ll also have the opportunity to invest in original arts and crafts by Indigenous artists. We’ll have some lunch before heading over to Kings Canyon. Tonight’s dinner is cooked in a camp oven and the result is delicious! We spend the night at our permanent campsite at Kings Canyon Resort.

Whats the Secret? The journey is as important as the destination. We only travel by day because we want you to see ALL of Australia on your journey with us. You can’t do that at night!

PASS HIGHLIGHTS

(Minimum 1 night stay required)

surf beaches on the coast. So stay longer if you want more wave action. The rest of us board the bus for the short trip to Byron Bay, Australia’s most easterly point. We recommend you spend a few days in Byron. Warning: Surfing is addictive and may be very good for your health! Take a cheap day tour to Nimbin, town of happy hippies (optional). Byron Bay to Gold Coast Shortly after leaving Byron we cross the border into sunny Queensland. First stop – The Gold Coast: golden sands, theme parks, and great bars and clubs. Try it out for a couple of days yourself and see… Gold Coast to Brisbane (zz) On the way to Brisbane we go Zorbing (optional); it’s simple: you and your friends climb inside an oversized football full of warm water and roll down a hill. Late in the afternoon we roll into Queensland’s capital city and our end destination for the day – Brisbane! A very laid back Australian city. Brisbane to Noosa Fraser Island – here we come! After an early start we head towards the Glasshouse Mountains, remnants of active volcanoes from times past. Sailing past in 1770 Captain Cook saw them and thought they looked like Glasshouses in his home of Yorkshire: Active volcanoes or an active imagination? Soon after, we turn for the Sunshine Coast and stop in the yuppie holiday spot Noosa. Noosa to Rainbow Beach We rejoin the highway heading towards Rainbow Beach, which has awesome coloured sands (hence the name). Guided walks are possible, and you can do Fraser Island trips from here, it’s only 10 minutes away by ferry (or keep going for next stop Hervey Bay). At Rainbow Beach there’s a huge range of adventure activities on offer, from hang-gliding, shark diving and sea-kayaking with dolphins. If you do decide to jump off here, you’ll get to be part of some Aboriginal cultural appreciation. Rainbow Beach to Hervey Bay (zz) Hervey Bay is the next stop and our end destination for the day. Hervey Bay is the other access point to the world’s largest sand island - Fraser Island.

Hervey Bay to Kroombit Cattle Station (zz) Westward we go; you may wish to get off the bus to visit ‘1770’ for a few days. We travel outback to our overnight stop at Kroombit. There’s a local payment to cover dinner, bunk accommodation and breakfast. We arrive early afternoon for lunch (own expense) and then enjoy the original and world famous (in Kroombit) Goat Rodeo. Don’t go to bed before cracking a whip and having a ride on the mechanical bull! Kroombit is a great taste of life in the Australian outback. A goat muster on horseback is optional at own expense. Kroombit to Sarina We head towards the sailing paradise of the Whitsunday Islands. Make sure you’ve booked your boat. Along the way we stop for a game of barefoot lawn bowls at the Sarina Bowling Club. Your guide will show you how its done! Sarina to Airlie Beach (zz) There are a few more miles to cover before our evening arrival into Airlie Beach. For the next 2-3 days most of you will say goodbye Oz Bus and hello sunshine and sailing boats …a highlight of the east coast trip. One we hope you remember after the traditional end-of-sailing party. Airlie Beach to Townsville (zz) Today we travel via Bowen, which is a great place to stop and earn some money picking fruit or vegetables. You can stay in Townsville or travel over to Magnetic Island with the guide (optional). And why not: it is the sunniest spot on the Queensland coast with more than 320 sunny days a year! And our chosen hostel is right on the beach. You’ll think you’ve landed in paradise. Get out for some hikes or try and spot koalas in their natural habitat. Look out for the full-moon parties at base backpackers. Townsville to Mission Beach We’re heading towards the lush rainforests of Far North Queensland. As we leave Townsville the mountains grow higher and the forests greener. We detour to Mission Beach, which is one great place to stay over for a few days. The beaches are superb. Relax or go skydiving or white water rafting (optional). If you’re lucky you’ll see a Cassowary, these are seriously big birds with attitude to match. Mission Beach to Cairns An easy afternoon section completes your Oz Ex trip. But not before we stop in Innisfail to visit some seriously big bad crocodiles (optional). Get right up close to these remarkable reptiles. But not too close because we want you to get to Cairns fit and ready for some amazing experiences. This place is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef one of the seven natural wonders of the world; and Cape Tribulation, the world’s oldest living rainforest. Don’t forget to visit the legendary Woolshed Bar.

Cairns to Sydney (check our website for full itinerary)

Cairns to Mission Beach East Coast, here we come. First stop is Innisfail to visit some seriously big bad crocodiles (optional) then Mission Beach, which is one great place to stay over for a few days to relax, go skydiving or white water rafting. Mission Beach to Townsville (zz) You can stay in Townsville or travel over to Magnetic Island (320 sunny days per year) with the guide (optional). Get out for some hikes or try and spot koalas in their natural habitat. Townsville to Airlie Beach (zz) We travel via Bowen, a great place to stop and earn some money picking fruit or veggies. Airlie Beach is the gateway to the amazing Whitsunday Islands and sailing is one of the highlights of the east coast trip. If sailing, don’t forget to book your bus out of Airlie before you go! Airlie Beach to Sarina We say farewell to Airlie Beach and head to the Sarina Bowling Club to play bare-foot lawn bowls. Your guide will show you how! Sarina to Kroombit Cattle Station (zz) Leaving the coast we travel into the outback and our overnight stop at Kroombit. There’s a local payment to cover bush dinner, bunk accommodation and breakfast. Don’t go to bed before cracking a whip and having a go at the mechanical bull ride! Kroombit to Hervey Bay We don’t leave the cattle station until we get on the horses and round up the goats (optional activity). Then be part of a real-life mini-rodeo which is loads of laughs and included in your pass. Stay behind for more of the cattle station or get back on the bus to Hervey Bay and Rainbow Beach. Along the way you may wish to get off the bus to visit the Town of 1770 for a few days. Hervey Bay to Rainbow Beach (zz) Rainbow Beach has awesome coloured sands and guided walks are possible. Fraser Island is only 10-minutes from here by ferry. There’s a huge range of adventure activities on offer including hang-gliding, shark diving and sea-kayaking with dolphins. If you do decide to jump off here, you’ll get to be part of some Aboriginal cultural appreciation. Rainbow Beach to Noosa After a few back roads we’re onto the highway and it’s not long before we turn for the Sunshine Coast and a stop in the yuppie holiday spot of Noosa. Noosa to Brisbane The Glasshouse Mountains, remnants of active volcanoes from times past. Sailing past in 1770 Captain Cook saw them and thought they looked like Glasshouses in his home of Yorkshire: Active Volcanoes or an overactive imagination?

Experiences:

Brisbane to Gold Coast It’s a short hop to The Gold Coast: golden sands, theme parks, great bars and clubs, beautiful people, and great sushi bars. On the way we can go Zorbing (optional, time permitting); it’s simple: you and your friends climb inside an oversized football full of warm water and roll down a hill. Gold Coast to Byron Bay (zz) South and across the border into New South Wales and Byron Bay; a great beachside town with a cool vibe and interesting locals. We’re sure you’ll love it and want to stay longer. Enjoy! Take a cheap day tour to Nimbin, town of happy hippies. Byron Bay to Surf Camp (zz) Today is a short journey to Spot-X for our afternoon surf lesson. Mojo’s Surf Camp is right on one of the best and least crowded surf beaches on the East Coast. We reckon surfing is addictive and good for your health so you might want to consider staying a few days. Surf Camp to Sydney We get up early today for the journey to Australia’s largest city. It’s a cruisy day with lots of bush, cool tunes and sometimes a bus-stop before we reach Sydney late in the afternoon.

Kakadu 4WD Safari (2 days) Darwin to Kakadu (zz) Spot crocs (and other wild creatures!) on a cruise along the fresh waters of the Mary River Wetlands. Discover more about the land and its stories at the Bowali Visitor Centre. The whole of Kakadu is spread out before you at Ubirr Rock, where we spend the afternoon. Camp in Kakadu National Park. Kakadu to Darwin Jim Jim Falls is our first stop today, and it’s a stunner! You’ll feel a bit dwarfed by the towering cliffs as we hike to the base of the falls. This afternoon the spectacular gorge of Twin Falls is experienced onboard a National Park operated boat and along the boardwalk (seasonal and fees apply). Unwind for a bit on the sandy banks before we trek back to Darwin.

Darwin < > Alice Springs Darwin to Katherine Gorge (zz) We stop for a break at Adelaide River on the way to Katherine. We spend the whole afternoon at the majestic Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk). Experience the striking beauty while canoeing or cruising (own expense) through the gorge itself. Tonight we stay at our permanent camp near Katherine Gorge.

OZ Experience


OZ Katherine Gorge to Tennant Creek (zz) Not far to the south is Mataranka, where you can revive in a sparkling thermal pool surrounded by lush tropical forest. Next stop is the iconic Daly Waters outback hotel, the Territory’s oldest pub. We continue south to Tennant Creek where we camp nearby on outback station. Tennant Creek to Alice Springs This morning we check out the sacred site of the Devils Marbles, which balance precariously on their rocky perch. A visit to Ti Tree gives you the chance to buy original works of art by Indigenous artists, before crossing over the Tropic of Capricorn to arrive in Alice Springs late in the afternoon.

Red Centre Safari (2 days) Alice Springs – Kings Canyon – Uluru (zz) Kick off your Red Centre adventure with a drive through remote outback country to Kings Canyon. There’s a bit of exploring to do here: the monumental North and South Walls, the Amphitheatre, the Lost City and the lush, inviting Garden of Eden. From here we head for an even more ancient landform, Uluru (Ayers Rock) where we camp overnight. Uluru to Alice Springs Sunrise at UIuru is worth the early start! Take a stroll partway around the base and discover mystifying rock formations and Aboriginal art sites, or climb Uluru if you choose. Be fascinated by the red domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). Return to Alice Springs in the afternoon. (This safari is included in the Whipper Snapper pass.)

We’ll pass Mt Connor and Curtin Springs cattle station on the way to Uluru where we camp overnight. Uluru and Kata Tjuta (zz) Sunrise over UIuru is magical and it’s an early start to catch it! Take a walk around Uluru’s base, or climb to the top if you choose. (Anangu traditional owners prefer it if you don’t.) Gain a further insight into the land at the Cultural Centre. Explore fascinating Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) then sip a glass of ‘Aussie’ sparkling wine while watching the desert sun set over Uluru.

Uluru to Coober Pedy (zz) We get away early this morning as we cross the NT/SA border on the way to Coober Pedy. Time to go underground! Learn about this unique place with a mine tour, including an opal cutting demonstration. If we’ve got time, try your luck at ‘noodling’ for opals yourself! Tonight we sleep in an underground bunkhouse. Coober Pedy to Rawnsley Park (zz) We keep heading south along the Stuart Highway, past the turn-off to ‘rocket-launching’ town Woomera we reach Rawnsley Park sheep station in the late afternoon. We spend the night here in bunkhouse accommodation. Wilpena Pound to Parachilna (zz) Challenge yourself this morning to tackle Mt Ohlssen-Bagge, where sweeping views spread out before you. We drive through the stunning Parachilna Gorge (weather permitting) on our way to Parachilna. Get ready for tonight’s BBQ – it doesn’t get more Aussie than this! We stay in dorm accommodation in Parachilna. Parachilna to Adelaide Check out some interesting Aboriginal rock art this morning with a short walk to Yourambulla Caves before lunch in the quaint historic railway town of Quorn.

What’s included? Your guide, bus transport, inclusions as listed, national park entry fees. Does the price include food or accommodation? To give you the flexibility you want, we don’t include this. However, in some areas there is a local payment because there is simply no other option to buy or cook your own food or there isn’t any other accommodation. But don’t worry, we’ve got you a really good deal! What is a local payment? A local payment is a payment made directly to Oz Experience or suppliers for costs such as meals and accommodation. We are not charging you extra to travel with us, in fact, we’ve managed to swing you a great deal. See website for details. I am travelling by myself. Do you get many single travellers? Most of our travellers are travelling on their own. They choose Oz Experience to meet other people - it’s a very social way to travel.

OZ

What is the age of the people travelling? Most people are aged between 18 and 35. There are no age limits but Oz Experience is designed for young, active travellers who are looking for a social atmosphere in which to travel. Can I get off anywhere other than the towns marked? Yes, you can get OFF anywhere on our route (subject to there being a safe place to stop on the road. Often it is illegal to drop people on to motorways/freeways/autobahns). However, you can only get back ON at the designated pick up times and places on our timetable (refer to our website).

How often does the bus leave? We understand you want regular departures to give the flexibility and freedom you want in your pass. In other areas of the network operated by the specialist services of Adventure Tours Australia and Desert Venturer (own cost), the departures vary according to days on the timetable and seasonal demand. Of course some passes also include the option to fly (at own expense) as an alternative to Desert Venturer. Check the timetable published on our website for the most current information. What is a fuel levy? A small fee charged to offset vast upward fluctuations in fuel prices experienced over the last year. Do I need to book where & when I’m getting on and off the bus? It is a good idea to be as organised as possible so you can allow enough time to get off the bus and spend time doing the things you want. We can show you the rest with the inclusions in your pass. Book well in advance to avoid disappointment, particularly in peak season when advance bookings are strongly recommended. How do I book on the bus and get off the bus? You can book online at www.ozexperience.com or call 1300 300 028 (cost of a local call in Australia). See the website for more info on managing your itinerary online. You can book individual sectors and see real time availability for each bus. How much time do I need to travel? It depends on which pass you are going to choose. We list the minimum recommended trip time which is the minimum time we think you should allow to best utilise our services and enjoy getting off the bus as much as you will being on it. Often you can travel faster than this minimum recommended time which is fine also but you may not have time to get off the bus at major points of interest i.e. Fraser Island (Hervey Bay/Rainbow Beach) and the Whitsunday Islands (Airlie Beach). Will I always travel with the same group? No. You’ll end up with a couple of different guides and groups throughout your trip, but hey, you get to meet loads of great people this way! If you do make a group of mates along the way and would like to keep travelling together, you’ll all need to book well in advance. (But there’s no guarantees we can fit you on the same tour.) How much luggage can I bring? Due to health and safety reasons, a maximum of 15kg of luggage is allowed per traveller. However, we’ll carry your surf board if there’s space. The best thing to do is advise Reservations by phone that you will be bringing a surfboard before you start travelling and again when you book on the bus for each sector of your travels. We’ll do our best to help out but can’t guarantee space. How can I find out more? For the most current information and timetables, visit www.ozexperience.com.

THE FIJI ISLANDS ‘Paradise’ – we know the word gets used pretty loosely but if it is appropriate for anywhere, it’s Fiji. There are over 300 Islands set in crystal clear waters with palm fringed white sandy beaches, lagoons, coral reefs and idyllic places to stay. Relaxation is big in Fiji but if you’re in the mood there are an incredible number of activities – white water rafting, trekking in rainforests, amazing snorkelling and diving, local villages to visit, surfing and even swimming with manta rays (seasonal). “Bula” – you’ll hear it all the time – it epitomises the warm, friendly outgoing nature of the Fijian people. Fiji offers a diverse cultural experience with the Fijian and Indo-Fijian people – their food, their outlook and differing lifestyles. From remote island villages to the capital Suva (still with its colonial feel) Fiji will provide an endless string of wondrous experiences. Awesome Adventures Fiji invite you to share the magic of Fiji. Their expertise and experience ensures you’ll leave with a grin as big as a Fijian’s! One of the most stunning regions is the remote Yasawa Islands group consisting of a chain of 20 ancient volcanic islands. Four of these islands have dramatic elevations with summits just short of 600 metres above sea level. The pristine white sandy beaches and dramatic monoliths surrounded by crystal clear lagoons provide a beautiful environment in which to relax or enjoy the many activities on offer.

STUFF YOU NEED TO READ & KNOW WHO ARE WE? ‘Awesome Adventures Fiji’ is an experienced operator and winner of the ‘Fiji Excellence in Tourism Award’ 2004 & 2006. All vessels are fully licensed and the staff trained to adhere to stringent safety requirements. The name says it all, let us show you the ‘real’ Fiji and an awesome time in the beautiful Yasawa Islands.

WHAT TO EXPECT Awesome Adventures does not offer guided tours. What we offer are a series of packages and passes with all the components organised and prebooked to make it easy for you. You will however bump into many other fellow travellers on similar itineraries. These are not luxury resorts. If you need a hair dryer, this is not for you. The accommodation is often in stunning settings and ranges from fairly basic to more modern properties with more modcons, but this is where you’ll experience the real Fiji. You’ll get to mix and mingle with the locals who operate the resorts and whose home this is. The resorts are not owned by Awesome Adventures and standards vary from property to property and week to week but we do monitor them and we have our own staff moving around all the time to try to ensure everything is as it should be. ACCOMMODATION Most resorts offer the choice of dormitory or share twin/double accommodation. All beds are fitted with mosquito nets but we recommend bringing along insect repellent. Share twin and double rooms are called bures. This is the name for traditional Fiji housing featuring a thatched roof. Some bures do feature ensuite bathroom facilities but the majority are with shared facilities. Note not all properties have hot water but with a tepid local water supply it’s really not required. Properties have generators so you’ll have electricity from around sunset to midnight. FREE NADI COACH TRANSFERS TO THE MARINA We are very happy to pick you up the day of departure for the transfer to Port Denarau Marina. If you don’t book your Nadi accommodation through us you have to advise us where you are staying. If you don’t advise us, getting to the Marina on time is your responsibility and at your cost EATING One of life’s necessities and great pleasures. We’ve included meals in the packages (except where stated) because eating at the resort you’re staying in is the only choice – there are no restaurants around the corner. Meals are served at specific times of day e.g. breakfast 8am – 9am. This provides an opportunity to check out the talent – sorry, we mean meet fellow travellers. Meals are simple and filling. We recommend vegetarians inform the resort on arrival. And of course there are always bananas and pawpaw.

MONEY Credit cards and travellers cheques can be used on some islands but not all. If you’re on an Awesome Adventures Fiji package between FJ$25-$35 cash per day should be enough. For those passengers using the ‘Bula Pass’ accommodation prices are between FJ$60-$90 per night for a dorm (including 3 meals) or FJ$75-$200 per person per night for a share twin/double bure (including 3 meals). THERE ARE NO BANKS ON THE ISLANDS, ONLY IN NADI. The bank at the airport is open 24 hours. Cash machines are available in Nadi and there is one at Port Denarau Marina near the check-in desk. The currency is the Fijian dollar. Be warned - it’s a long way back from the Yasawas if you run out of cash OPEN DATED BOOKINGS We know sometimes you are leaving home a long way ahead of getting to paradise and plans can change, so all packages and the passes can be booked on an open dated basis. All you need to do is confirm your arrival date and starting date with Awesome Adventures at least 14 days prior to your arrival in Fiji. Leave it any later and we’ll still get you in but a few changes may be needed.

WHAT IS A ‘FULL MONTY’ (FM) PACKAGE? It’s the same Boat / Bed / Meals itinerary PLUS all the awesome activities shown in the “Full Monty” inclusions section.

DAILY DEPARTURES FOR ALL PACKAGES & PASSES The Awesome Adventures vessel ‘Yasawa Flyer’ a high speed, modern catamaran departs Port Denarau at 8:30am daily for all Yasawa destinations. It returns daily at 5:45pm. South Sea Island, Bounty and Beachcomber are also serviced on this run. Additional departures to Mamanuca properties are also available at 9:00am, 12:15pm and 3:15pm on board South Sea Cruises vessels. See Map inside front cover for island and resort locations.

BEACHCOMBER

REFER MAP NO. 3

The original party island where every day is Friday, the bar is open late, the band is playing and everyone is on the dance floor - of course it’s the beach so barefoot is the way to go. Beachcomber’s fantastic reputation is also because of the great atmosphere, the fantastic meals, the white sandy beach, crystal clear waters and loads of activities. Evening meals are a feature with themed buffets each night. By day you can laze on the beach or get active - the choice is yours. Try snorkelling, diving, sailing, parasailing or how about a beachside massage!

There are some 30 island resorts operated by villagers dotted throughout the islands.

The perfect partner to the ‘Bula Pass’ the ‘Accommodation Pass’ provides the easy, hassle free way to pay for your accommodation. Bear in mind a number of properties don’t accept credit cards or ÌÀ>Ûi iÀÃÊV iµÕiÃÊ Ê ÕÃÌÊV>Ã °

They vary in standard, setting, style and the attractions the local area offers but they all have one thing in common - hospitality in Ì >ÌÊ Ü>À ]Ê }i Õ iÊ Ü>ÞÊ Õ µÕiÊ Ì Ê °Ê / iÊ Õ >Ê *>ÃÃÊ vviÀÃÊ Ì iÊ vÀii` ÊÌ ÊiÝ« ÀiÊÌ iÊ9>Ã>Ü>ÃÊ>ÃÊÞ ÕÊV Ãi° The Bula Pass can also be used to explore the Mamanuca Islands on South Sea Cruises’ Vessels.

HOW IT WORKS! HOW IT WORKS!

Your Pass is valid for iÊÀiÌÕÀ Ê ÕÀ iÞ to the Yasawas and then hops between resorts and islands as often as you like for the consecutive number of days designated. The pass is valid for 7 or 14 or 21 days from the first day it is used. We suggest you book your first leg and at least the first night’s accommodation with your Pass and then travel at your leisure. Whilst all travel is paid for, reservations must still be made for all sectors at least 24 hours prior. Contact Awesome Adventures phone (Fiji) 675 0499. We’ll provide you with a Bula Pass guide with all the essential information to make the most of your holiday. For budgeting allow FJ$60 - $90 per night for a dorm including 3 meals, or FJ$75 - $200 per person per night for a twin/double bure including 3 meals. In some cases resorts off the main route charge extra for transfers to/from our vessel. Check when making bookings. Travel between Denarau and the Mamanuca Islands of South Sea Island, Bounty, Beachcomber, Mana and Malolo are included in the pass in addition to all the Yasawa destinations. Note: When you return to Denarau on the pass it becomes invalid for use. All changes between Awesome Adventures vessels and South Sea Cruises must be done in the Islands.

Start with the minimum 5 nights and then just choose how many extra nights you feel you might stay. Dorm, twin share or double vouchers are provided for each of your nights. The properties listed below accept the Awesome ‘Accommodation Pass’. They are all properties that we feel provide the better standards of hygiene, comfort and service in the Yasawas.

Our purpose built surf camp creates a vibe that will wipe the hustle and bustle of Sydney from your memory, and exposes you to some of the most spectacular coast line that Australia has to offer.
