Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsOur senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
