Have you ever wondered what trips you'd take if suddently you won the jackpot and didn't have to work any more?? What sort of experiences would you love to see?? We ask ourselves that question on a daily basis and there are too few travel days and too many great destinations and tours out there. What we have done is create a short-list (call it a Bucket List if you will) of trips that we've taken - or that have been recommended to us - as qualifying as the most memorable.
They range from epic journeys across Australia's red center, to shorter affairs of the heart. Some of the trips can be ventured alone while others require an experienced helping hand. In the case of the latter we've included information on the operator that can provide you with the benefit of a local insight.
In the words of Mark Jenkins: "Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world."
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and enjoy...
