ALL OF OZ SEP 2007
My name is Maartje (the Netherlands).
In september 2007 is already did the All of Oz trip. It's an amazing country. Make sure you have more than enough picture on your camera with you. Because you need it.
(and also a lot of money for all the great activity you can do).

Nr 1 rule. How more you put into it how more you get out / back of it.

Have a great trip in Ozzie.

REEF N ROCK FEB 06

Hi, I'm Anne-Marie (aged 27).

I have recently returned from a year of traveling, and as part of that travel, I joined 3 treks through Trek America; Atlantic Dream (October 05), Yucatan Adventure (November 05) and Reef 'n' Rock (February 06, via their partner: Lets Trek Australia).

I had the most amazing time on all the treks, which were very different; one camping, one in hotels, one in hostels. The countries and landscapes and activities were all very different. I had a time that nobody can take away from me, and so many fun, happy, exciting memories.

My trek groups were very different on each trip, but I loved getting to know everyone and have made some great friends. I was always so sad to say goodbye at the end of each trek!

I recommend these kind of treks to anyone. What a brilliant way to travel the world, try new things and make new friends! Thinking of hitting Alaska this summer if I can!!

REEF N' ROCK

Erin (my wife) and I, arrived in Australia in anticipation, to find a wonderful, sunny country, we were not disappointed.

We both agree that we had the best time we have ever had. We met with a wonderful group of people, of whom most I am still in contact with, and two great trek leaders.

Travelling up the east coast from Sydney to Cairns was simply amazing, the highlight being two days on Fraser island, where our first trek leader Gerard, forgot to tie the lid on the box of food and dishes, which ultimately went flying along the beach with its contents. Very weird experience, running around chasing kitchen roll along a beach in Australia. The Great Barrier reef was just breath taking, and a nice way to say good bye to the sea, as we headed in land toward Darwin. The vast open spaces of Australia and baroness is simply amazing. The time in the Northern Territory, and Kakadu National Park was brilliant, learning all about aboriginal life and culture. But that was nothing compared to the ore-inspiring Uluru. Here we met with Paul, our second trek leader. A brief stop in Coober Peedy and Adelaide and back to Sydney. Both Gerard and Paul made it the holiday it was....brilliant, thanks guys.

GRAND CENTRAL

I am writing to give you some feed back on my Grand Central tour.It was great, I enjoyed it very much! I arrived home 3 days ago, but I miss Australia already!
I liked every part of our trip, including the 2 long drives.I am completely satisfied about the trip and I am thinking already about next year. I think it is really worth visiting Australia, because it is so different from other places, like Europe for example and you can enjoy and see amazing things My tour leader, Paul, was very nice and I liked the way he guided the group and the tour. He knows a lot about Australia and I appreciated it.

REEF N ROCK MAY/JUNE 2007

Hello,

I just wanted to write a review for the Reef 'n Rock tour that I did in May / June '07 to let all of you know that it has been one of my best vacations ever! As of the first day you could really tell that something special was about to happen with umongst the trekkers, the trek-leader and our stuffed animal Fred. Joe Brega, our trek-leader, made a comment when we where only 30 minutes out of Sydney that I still remember quite good" "Guys, take a good look at eachother... these are your new best friends for life" - and I must say he's right!

This trek has something magical, it throws you around from adrenaline rush to adrenaline rush up the east-coast and let's you get back in touch with yourself in the outback - the nature is so beautifull that (at least for me) there are several moments where you get tears in your eyes fe. enjoying the sunrise on top of Kings Canyon during the 7.2 Km hike overthere.

I take a deep bow for Joe, he's a trek-leader in all his heart. Passionate about his country and willing to answer every question that you might have. He seems to be able to read people and give them room when they need it and get into a personal talk to help anyone that he can. Even with all the strungle that we had to go through, he has able to remain enthousiastic and motivating. If every trek-leader is only half as good as he is, all people who take a trek with "OzXposure" / "Let's Trek Australia" will have the best time ever!

SURF N' SUN 27 FEB 07
Just a quick note to say how fantastic the trek from Cairns to Sydney was. The group was brilliant and we got on really well. The activities were great fun..especially the white water rafting down the Tully River. Keppel Island was a dream and Surfers Paradise was a good laugh.

Thanks to Adam for making the Trek really enjoyable..Good work mate! If anyone is thinking of doing this Trek in the future...do it, it's well worth it!!!

REEF N' ROCK deps Sydney

When you fly half way around the world like I did, you arrive at Sydney airport and your brain is telling you it is day-time, when it is not, and you learn that your luggage has been left in London you think: man ! this is not a good start...I probably shouldn't have come here!

The good thing is, 24 hours latter I had already changed my mind and was already sure that I'd enjoy my trip (the bags eventually caught up with me). Australia is a gorgeous...awesome country! It has a good set of those natural wonders we're used to see on TV shows and wonder if we'll ever get to see "live": Fraser Island, the Great Barrier-Reef, Kakadu national Park, Kings Canyon, Uluru, the Olgas or the Blue mountains and...last but not least, the surprisingly "cool" city of Sydney (just to mention a few).

You'll have time to enjoy the sights as well as to endure a few adrenaline rushes, should you decide to indulge yourself with some of the more "radical" activities at our disposal. But fear not...there'll be loads of time to relax. Some of the driving days are quite long and you'll get a chance to experience the "emptiness" of the Aussie outback, the calmness of the desert landscapes or simply read all the books in you bag. The best of all comes latter in the day when night falls and we gaze at the stars and suddenly realize there are a lot more of those bright spots in the sky than you ever thought possible.

My tour guide (Paul) guided our group faultlessly and we all enjoyed A LOT the time we spent together. Just like Cinzia said (yeah, we were on the same trek) Australia is very different from probably the majority of the places we've ever been to. Go and check it out next summer. You won't regret it...I'm sure !

BIG TREK deps Sydney
My name is Tori Oram and I was on the Big Trek that departed Sydney on April 18th this year. It was absolutely amazing and I had the time of my life! We were led by the wonderful Gerard (Gerry) and there were seven in my group. Straight away, everyone felt like a friend! I would truly recommend this trip to anyone!

I saw so much of Australia and loved every minute. I skydived at Airlie Beach, stroked a koala, stayed with the Aborigines, saw Kangeroos, rode a quadbike across the outback, ate "bush tucker", feasted on the most bizarre foods (kangeroo, camel, crocodile, emu....), lay awake one night listening to the chilling call of wild dingos (incredible sound!) and hiked the base of Uluru! Oh and saw wild dolphins. And the Opera House. And then there was the amazing Barrier Reef.....As you can tell, I loved it and if anyone would like any advice just send me an e-mail, I´d love to hear from you. tori_ventura@yahoo.co.uk
