DAYTRIPS EASTERN AUSTRALIA enables visitors to experience the most exciting parts of this vast continent on 55 fun-filled and diverse daytrips. The tours offer an Australia rarely advertised or promoted. You will become part of the cultural experience and not just witness it from the back end of a camera.

Your choice of self-guided adventures will have you swimming in the opal-colored waters of the Great Barrier Reef, panning for sapphires in the middle of the Outback, hearing the sound of laughing kookaburras in the middle of the rainforest, soaking in the sun and fun on the miles of pristine beaches, climbing the largest (inactive) volcano in the Southern Hemisphere, tasting the local delicacies, and meeting the true Aussies.

A more relaxing and cultural approach may be the taking in the views of the Sydney Opera House, strolls in the lush tropical gardens, learning the Aussie heritage in the numerous museums, golfing with the kangaroos, and gentle cruises through exotic landscapes.

With detailed maps and insider information, you will easily navigate the terrain and meet the locals – including the kangaroos, koalas, and crocodiles. Take the time to absorb the Aussie larrikin attitude, taste foods not found on many tables outside this country and understand why this land is so unique.

DAYTRIPS AUSTRALIA is designed for all budgets, fitness levels, and traveling timeframes. And it is not strictly for the international tourist, as many Australians have not visited numerous sites in the book. For the armchair traveler, vivid descriptions of the tours as well as web sites are provided to enjoy the ride from home.

Jim Postell and his wife have discovered many interesting and varied tours through their extended stay in Australia. A six-month visit has turned into a lifetime love affair with this magnificent country and its people. All of the tours in his book have been hiked, kayaked, swum, cycled, driven, bused, and taste tested by Jim and Ann.
Jim has incorporated his varied travel experiences into this guide, and contributes stories to local Australian magazines and publications. His humorous insights, learning the culture from a perspective of an American expatriate, will ease you into a “no worries” tour of a wondrous country.
