Top Winter School Holidays Trips – Australia

July 25th, 2010

The school holidays are fast approaching, and the panic showing on many parents faces reflects the same question: Where can we take with the kids for 2 weeks in winter?? It’s so much easier to travel in the summer in a country surrounded by miles of unspoilt beaches, and outdoor pursuits are on every active family’s agenda, but what about when the temperature drops and swimming is just not an option? 

Here are some of the top winter destinations that are far enough away to feel like a decent holiday, yet still close enough to enjoy the drive, where you’ll be able to get outside and get active. Hopefully, this will help give you some ideas on what to do with the brood these winter school holidays: 

From Sydney: 

· Kosciusko National Park: Think winter holidays, think snow. Roughly six hours drive from Sydney takes you to the Snowy Mountains. You can ski, snowboard, ski cross-country or go tobogganing. Take a class or even just ride a chair lift to the top, build a snowman and enjoy the view! For tips on driving in the snow, download the DriveAway Snow Guide. 

· The NSW South Coast: The drive alone from between Sydney to Eden is an adventure in itself, with so many places to stop along the way. Drive along the Grand Pacific Drive which runs for 169kms from start to finish. Take the kids for a walk amongst the tree tops at the Illawarra Tree Top Walk. Fish off the wharf at Tathra or go bushwalking in unspoilt Morton National Park.

· The Blue Mountains: The World Heritage listed Blue Mountains is only a short 60 minute drive west of Sydney to the base of the mountains. You can bushwalk , see the magnificent Three Sisters at Katoomba, visit the Zig Zag Railway at Mt Victoria, take a tour through Jenolan Caves, horse ride through the Megalong Valley, or enjoy great food and shopping in Leura. 

· Regional NSW: Visit some of Australia’s most historic villages or get close to nature. Visit Dubbo, about 5½ hours northwest of Sydney, home to the fantastic Western Plains Zoo. Show the kids some colonial history at the Old Dubbo Gaol. See the Observatory at Parkes, or camping or canoeing along the Lachlan River. 

From Melbourne: 

· Goldfields of Victoria: Only 90 minutes drive northwest of Melbourne you can tour the towns of Ballarat, Maldon and Bendigo. Visit Sovereign Hill, the Eureka Centre and the Central Deborah Gold Mine to learn about Australia’s gold rush history.

· Victorian High Country: Drive the Great Alpine Road between Bairnsdale and Wangaratta, and make the most of the snow season in the Victorian snow fields of Mt Buller, Falls Creek and Mt Hotham.  

· Phillip Island: about 90 minutes drive from Melbourne centre, you can see the wondrous Fairy Penguins waddling ashore at sunset at the Phillip Island Nature Park, or do a lap of the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. 

And then of course if you still want to escape the winter blues altogether and soak up some warmth, head out from Brisbane: 

· The Sunshine Coast: Just over 2 hours drive north of Brisbane, enjoy some of QLD’s best beaches with year-round warm weather, take the kids to Australia Zoo or take a driving tour to the Glasshouse Mountains.

· The Gold Coast: Less than an hour south of Brisbane, enjoy fantastic beaches, glorious weather and uncontained excitement. And don’t forget the theme parks: Dreamworld, SeaWorld & Movie World.

How the Government is Hitting Holiday Trips

August 7th, 2009

Is the much criticised UK government’s Air Passenger Duty (APD) hitting holiday travel too hard. With global recession, the weak pound and green issues already hitting airlines, is the planned tax hike the straw that could break the travel industry’s back.

The largest low-cost airline operating in Britain, Ryanair, has announced that it’s to cut back the number of UK flights dramatically with Stansted flights being reduced by 40%. The current 40 aircraft based at the airport will come day to 24 from October 2009.

With the hard-nosed Ryanair it’s always difficult to know how much they mean or if it’s just a negotiating ploy. But when their arch-rival easyJet agrees with them about the tax, perhaps the government should listen. Other big players like BA and Virgin are also suffering as their First and Business class numbers are hit hard and the industry is getting ever more vocal in its criticism of the latest tax hike.

Currently, passengers flying out of the UK pay £10 for each short-haul flights and up to £40 for longer trips. Later in 2009, these taxes rise to £22 for a return short trip and an eye-watering sum of up to £90 for long-haul return flights. The charges will go up again in 2010.

A family of four flying to the Caribbean, Kenya, South Africa or Thailand next winter, will pay £300 in APD. Further afield, families planning trips to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia or Australasia will pay £340 – more than double the current rate of £40 per passenger. And that’s before they even think about the ticket price!

As might be expected, the Government is claiming that green issues lie behind the tax hike. It’s an argument that’s simply not believed by aircraft operators. Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson brands it “one of the most unjust taxes out there. There’s not a shred of evidence that the £2billion currently being raised is going towards environmental or sustainable projects.”

The Government’s claim that the move will cut carbon emissions doesn’t impress environmentalists either. They have criticised the tax for encouraging air passengers to believe that they are doing their bit for the environment, making them less likely to contribute to carbon offsetting schemes.

Ryanair’s decision will reignite fears about the future of several regional airports which are in doubt, due to a dramatic fall in passengers numbers and the number of routes being cut over the last 12 months.

Abta, the Travel Association, has raised concerns about the impact that APD will have on regional passengers who are forced to fly via London, forcing them to pay the tax twice if they are travelling with two different airlines. Premium economy passengers are also to suffer as they will pay the same level of tax as passengers flying in business or first-class. Those flying in premium economy cabins to Australia will pay £170 from November 2010 – more than double the current fee of £80.

The changes will also harm tourism to Britain, with foreign visitors forced to pay APD on the return leg of their journey.

Michael O’Leary of Ryanair also says the tax is riddled with inconsistencies as it’s not paid on cargo flights or by transfer passengers. This mean you could get two passengers sitting next to each other on a long-haul flight, one having paid a massive tax bill, the other not a penny.

He also points out that the Belgian, Dutch, Greek and Spanish government’s have dropped tourist taxes or reduced airport charges to zero to stimulate tourism and adds: “Sadly, UK traffic and tourism continue to collapse while Ryanair continues to grow traffic rapidly in those countries which welcome tourists instead of taxing them.”

While it hurts to agree with a man famed for finding every possible way to force passengers to pay more for baggage, checking-in, on-line booking fees ad nauseam, he does have a point. If other governments are trying to help tourism, why does the UK, with a prime minister constantly saying he’s doing everything possible to beat the recession, follow a course that’s causing massive damage to tourists and the airline industry?

Loans for Stress Free Holiday Trips

July 10th, 2009

Summer time always sees a maximum number of UK citizens going for vacations. This is the peak season for hoteliers, airline companies and even travel agents, as far as tourist traffic is concerned. Inspite of various offers and deductions available in the market, accommodations and travel fare certainly doesn’t come cheap. To overcome this hindrance, people look around for a financial help from different sources.

As seen from the financial market trend, people are more comfortable in arranging their expenses through credit cards. People usually see the comfort level of credit cards and forget on extra charges they are tendering on hidden costs, interest rates and annual fees. Holidaymakers should rather consider a low cost medium as personal loans to manage their expenses.

Recent survey by Post Office (a financial service provider) has revealed that shopping with credit cards while on holidays might give you hard time with your pockets. On top of that, if you use your credit card outside UK, the bank or financial provider charge you around 2.75 per cent. But, it seems that more than 34 per cent UK consumers are unaware of the extra fees they pay to these companies. It’s surprising that around ten million Britons plan a holiday and worry about bills when they return from their trips, this situation might lead to heavy financial worries among Britons. If you see the figures, £321 billion was spent on fees of credit cards while on holidays abroad in 2006.

The better and low cost option for your holiday trips are personal loans. You just need to plan your expenses and find a suitable lender to get a fast loan. These loans are specifically designed for people needing a quick financial solution. As these loans are unsecured in nature, you don’t even need to put a security to the lender.

The lender is willing to offer you an amount up to £25,000 with tenure of loan stretching up to 10 years. A good budgeting will help you more on timely monthly payments. Personal loans are quite cost effective way to carrying your expenses while traveling abroad, with interest rates charged around 7 per cent. Even with your busy schedules you can apply for these loans online. This makes the process more fast and cost effective.
