Australia is a vast country and to get to many parts of it you need to travel by way of the spokes. Australia is a unique country in so many ways. First off it is diverse. There are rugged coastlines, subtropical rainforest areas, tropical rainforests, desert areas and it is not the same as areas we are used to. There are also many different kinds of high country passes you can use to travel quickly throughout the continent.
Another thing that Australia has to offer is the ability for backpackers to use minibus to travel around the country quickly and easily. Here is how this travel works.
Minibus in Australia =
When you arrive at your destination you pay the fare. This is generally via the bus service at the airport. Now instead of having to plan and organize everything via your side there is just a layer of clean up that has to be done at the stop. The vehicles themselves are very clean and fit nicely in the vans. The staff are friendly and can answer any questions that anyone may have regarding the travel.
What this means is that you can go from one city to the next with the minimum of effort and stress free. It is great for those who need to travel alone or in a small group. The vehicles are spacious and you can feel comfortable with the size and the selection you choose. The vehicles come with all the comforts like power, water, and waste and you can go to the parking lot just as quick as you arrive at your destination. Fare rates are very low across the board and will change with time.
The vans are economical and sustainable to the environment and Sydney and Melbourne are the best places to visit for minibus travel in Australia. These places are near to the ocean and to each other. Minibus vehicles do not have the same speed as an automobile and a motorcycle. When you are simply trying to make it to work on time for example, you don’t want to waste your time standing in traffic. You just want to get going, do your work and get home. These different vehicles do not have the same meters, but there are some very similar ones.
One very innovative minibus rental is the Chinook Northland. The vehicle is highly equipped with satellite navigation, a large water tank with fresh water, a bathroom with a wet area and the chassis of a van. It is designed with the user in mind. The vehicle is spacious with a start and stop button, electric start, exclusive windshield, heating and precisely enough ventilation to ensure you comfortable stay inside. It is spacious enough to carry one or two people and yet the interior is fitted with leather padded seats, foot rest and a armrest.
How has the art of van rentaling in Australia been different over the years?
Personally I think Australia has a very mixed culture. On one hand you have caravan parks that are very friendly and agreed with RVAs. On the other hand you have virtually the city centres and suburbs that are very basic. Caravan parks are in fact a very mixed bag. Depending on where you park you will have to deal with whether children are allowed or not.
There is a lot of different things to be considered when choosing the best place for van rental. Price is always a consideration, how far from the city centre you are staying, how close to nature you want to be, traffic patterns, avail for local transport etc. The best place for van rental is actually within the envelope of the city centre or the suburb areas. Personally I think finding the best place for van rental is somewhat of a challenge.
How has Sydney managed to keep the city centre alive and well?
The city centre of Sydney hasus the same old buildings,glass houses, theatres, gardens, shops and morellike a lot of places to eat than in years past. YHA Australia is a great organization that helps you to enjoy the great outdoors in a safe safe environment. My feeling is that they have done a really good job of keeping the environment lobbyost safe, although obviously not everything in the city centre is up to scratch.
The owls nest in the NSW National Parks every November and December and you can see them in flight. If you wait around until the end of December and see if you can spot the owls then you will be ahead of a lot of people who want to see these amazing birds.
At the moment the most popular place for viewing is in the centre of Sydney, the best time being at 9.30 am and lasting only a few hours. Other well known sites include Canary Beach, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Gardens by proposed and sorts. It is not widely known that Sydney has one of the larger high population densities in the world’s cities, the fact that its entirely suburban region has grown to be one of the busiest cities in the world is due to its historic importance of the Inner City.
