East Coast Experience
17 days from £2,199
Ref: EE
From the dense rainforests of the north to swinging Sydney, the
East Coast offers so much to the adventure traveller. We explore
the reefs and islands by sailing boat, hike in Carnarvon National
Park, stay Aussie-style on a cattle station and wander the empty
beaches of Fraser Island.
Cairns, Crocs & Koalas
We begin in Cairns before heading south along the coast via Curtain
Fig Tree and the stunning waterfalls of the Cairns highlands. From
here we continue to Airlie Beach.
Whitsundays & Carnarvon Gorge
A voyage to the idyllic Whitsundays off the East Coast is a must,
and as we drop anchor in Blue Pearl Bay, we can enjoy some dazzling
diving and snorkelling. But for the less active, the option to chill
out and relax is hard to resist! Next we head to Rubyvale and onto
Carnarvon National Park to hike in it's stunning gorge.
Fraser Island & Sydney
After our stay on a working cattle station, we head south and explore
the vast sands and forests of Fraser Island, swimming in crystal
clear freshwater lakes and exploring by 4-wheel drive. Finally we
end in Sydney with the opportunity to climb it's famous Harbour
Bridge or perhaps hike in the nearby Blue Mountains. See green route
on map.

Group trips usually have between 10 - 18 people, with a good
mix of male and female, singles and couples, with most aged
between 25 - 55. They are run by a number of specialist companies
that we have worked with closely for many years. If you are
travelling by yourself, or enjoy the sociablility of other
like minded travellers, these are the trips for you.
All prices include air fares from London.
Footloose can book these trips for
you, at no extra cost, and give you the benefit of our personal
advice and service. We can also organise different flights
