Adventure

The most efficient way to decide between a party-centric holiday and a relaxing getaway is to choose both, naturally.

January is creeping up on us once again, and the NGV has served up a free after-hours festival set to shake up your summer nights, for 10 days straight. The Triennial EXTRA offers a little piece for everyone to enjoy—from pop-up artist talks and immersive gallery activations to vibe-providing DJ sets. 

Napoli—a soul-stirring city steeped in unexpected opulence, rich art, a thriving culinary scene, and a breathtaking coastline all beckoning you to its cobblestone streets on your next Euro getaway.

As the weather warms up across the country, even us extreme homebodies are itching for adventure. We want sun, fresh air, and breathtaking natural beauty that makes us forget our worries. Ready to hit the trails and become reacquainted with mother nature? 

The wheel deal.

We know, it feels like everyone is enjoying their Euro Summer adventures right now and the itch for a holiday is stronger than ever. If you're thinking of planning a getaway, we've teamed up with AGL Energy to compile a savvy list of tips and tricks to help you optimise your out-of-office hours while minimising your eco-footprint. 

The cure for your mid-year monotony is here, Crystalbrook Collection is providing up to 40% off stays around their luxurious resorts around Brisbane, Cairns, Byron Bay, Newcastle and Sydney. 

With help from BCF curate the perfect campsite this festival season.

The summer sun brings out a diverse network of trails perfect for hiking, biking, and trail running, and—the best part—you’ll be rewarded with spectacular scenery in every direction.

For Victorians, this summer is bringing with it many glorious things—like being able to drink a pint at the pub and the ability to stay out past 9pm—but a more wholesome phenomenon is the welcoming of the state’s cherry season, and specifically The Cherry Trail.

Nothing beats traversing the terrain in an SUV. If you’re tired city-dwelling hatchback isn’t quite up to the task then take a look at getting behind the wheel of HAVAL’S new H6. It's stacked with plenty of stuff to keep up with the stop and start and tight parking of urban life but also has enough grunt to get you through the hills and off-road tracks of coastal and backcountry Victoria. 

Bright Adventure Company is ready to host you and your plus one for a private cliffside picnic at Mt Buffalo. Not for the faint-hearted, when we say cliffside picnic, we literally mean on the side of a cliff. You’ll be suspended on a fit-for-purpose ledge 300m above the valley, treated to unparalleled views and given a gourmet picnic hamper to enjoy. 

With some of the world’s best beaches, stunning landscapes and breathtaking views, it’s no wonder camping in this beautiful country of ours is one of our most favourite past times.
