2 OR 3 DAY NSW BUSH & OUTBACK ADVENTURE

Duration 2-3 Days
Experience
Price PP $345 pp

Theme- Travel through Australia’s history

Starting from where the First Fleet arrived, the journey will travel through time to discover how Australia’s first colony expanded, from the farmlands of the Sydney basin. We’ll travel over the Blue Mountains, to the gold rush in the central tablelands, then further west to where the bush gives way to the Outback. The goal is to discover the real Australia, to follow in the footsteps of the early pioneers, and meet the personalities who are humbly working with the land as has been done for years, allowing Australia to become the modern nation that we know today.

Guides

The most crucial ingredient to a great tour is your guide. UDU offers unique itineraries and pays attention to all details, but it is your guide that will bring it all together in way that is personal to you. Our guides want to meet you, they are genuinely interested in people from all walks of life, and want to share with you their love of Australia.

Our guides do not strive to be professional (although they’re never unprofessional), but instead strive to ensure you smile, giggle, learn new things, feel young again, make new friends, taste and smell new flavours, hear new bird songs and look at what others may miss. UDU ensures guides are qualified and as knowledgeable as possible, but the secret is ensuring that guiding is their passion.

For this tour the guides will usually be Andy Richards, and/or Dr Garry Richards… a father and son team that works well and provides a great mixture of youth and experience.

Photo and video package

At least one of your UDU guides is also a professional photographer, and will take photos and videos of the action, as well as some great team shots.  Quality SLRS, and waterproof cameras ensure every great moment is captured. These will be edited and provided to you in High Resolution, a great memento for the University.
