Ever thought of joining a Women's Adventure Club?

Well here's your chance - Australia's first Women's Adventure Club has been successfully launched in Perth, Western Australia and is now rapidly expanding into other parts of Australia, New Zealand and overseas!

The adventure club is a central hub, bringing women together to explore the world and expand their horizons.

People who are visiting the region are leaving with lifelong memories of the breathtaking scenery, unique Aboriginal rock art and culture, classic barramundi fishing and distinctive East Kimberley characters. The ability to create a sense of awe, and be readily identifiable as Western Australian, has lead this region to be listed within the top ranks of WA's most iconic tourist attractions.

Explore the real AUSTRALIA movie locations!

Discover the real Australia: Western Australia, the real home of Australia the movie.

In September 2007, Western Australia welcomed filmmaking legend Baz Luhrmann and Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman to the magnificent Kimberley region to shoot scenes for Australia the movie.

The red and rugged landscape of the east Kimberley will feature strongly in this epic romantic adventure movie set around the bombing of Darwin in the Second World War.

Kununurra, which means 'big water' in the local Aboriginal language, is the gateway to the east Kimberley - one of the world's last true wilderness areas and the place to go for a real Australian outback adventure experience.

Journey into red-earth country on a four-wheel drive adventure, take a scenic flight over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways that permeate the region.

Create your own epic journey with the 2008 Australia's North West Holiday Planner or explore the real Australia the movie locations that inspired the film via the links on the right............for more information click here

Australia will be released 26 November 2008.

The YHA Experience

Staying in Youth Hostels is not necessarily just for the young set! I have stayed in many hostels, both within Australia and overseas and whilst the age group is generally between 18 -30, it is not uncommon to see older independent travellers and families checking in.

My husband and I backpacked through Europe and the UK with our two children, then aged 6 and 8, staying at hostels all the way. We found them to be cheap, conveniently located and as there was four of us, often we could book out a four bedded dorm.

The benefits of staying at a YHA are many including:

  • Clean, safe, fun and affordable
  • Well located and generally close to public transport
  • Fully equipped kitchens where you can store food and cook
  • Blankets & pillows are provided, you just need to bring your own sleeping sheet
  • Information sharing amongst fellow travellers.

If you are considering staying in hostels make sure you get yourself a YHA membership. There are different types of membership packages starting from as low as $32.00 and whether you are an independent global traveller or a family wanting a cheap holiday around Australia, there are some great savings and discounts to be had.

YHA members get great discounts on everything from food, clothing and tours to language courses, guidebooks and travel gear. Make the most of it by getting your card well before you leave, that way you can save on all the things you need for your trip.
