About Us

Australia
Whenever you mention overseas that you are from Australia, people think “the opera house, skippy and the beaches” but Australia is not only that, Australia is the bush, the outback, the country people, and its wild life and lots more. Ten years ago we joined one of the best four wheel drive club in the country. Being members of the Subaru Club, we have met exceptional people, whom we consider our second family; we learnt how to go camping, four wheel driving and more, now is time to put our skills to the test. We will be travelling to the rainforest, the outback, the world famous great barrier reef, we will go through some remote areas with rugged terrain, we’ll see lots of wild life including the legendary salt water crocodile, furthermore the famous road trains, they are 53 metres long, of course meet the country people, we will be visiting cattle stations; one of them is one and a half million acres and obviously we will be going to a lot of country pubs so we can enjoy a coldie while we meet some of the locals and some adventurous travellers, we are very excited and cannot wait longer to “Go and See Australia”......well...part of it.

FINDING NEMO

After our brilliant experience from the air we could not resist to go and find Nemo, we went on a trip to Reef World on The Great Barrier Reef. We went in a nice and big high speed catamaran they offered us morning tea and lunch, we stopped at Hamilton Island to drop off and pick up some passengers, it takes about 3.5 hours from Shute Harbour to the Pontoon at the Barrier Reef.
During the 4 hours that you spend on the pontoon you have the option of snorkelling, riding a semi-sub or simply wonder around being part of living nature. We did a guided snorkelling tour because we had no idea what was all about, also Rosario was very scared and needed to gain some confidence; at the end it was worth it because the instructor who is a marine biologist gave us a very good explanation of corals and marine life.
It is amazing to see the different types of fish, the corals, gigantic clams, a marine turtle and we even touched some of the big fish and they were not even scared, we bought a waterproof bag for the camera and Gabriel enjoyed taking lots of underwater photos which you can see if you click on following photos.
PS. We couldn't find Nemo, the turtle told us he went to Cancun, Mexico.
