the following article written by Martin Reed from Flight Centre gives some pretty useful hints for backpackers who want more for their money, so read on to get some tips and enjoy your vacation without any worries.
“There are plenty of places to cut down on spending, and if you’re like most people, you’re looking for ways to get more for your money. Consumers are realizing the value of cutting back, but, watching your budget doesn’t mean you have to deny yourself the pleasure of a little time away. Despite what you may think, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the vacation you want without sacrificing comfort or your bank account, and some careful pre-planning can go a long way towards helping you keep your bank account healthy. The time of year you travel, your destination airport and your choice of accommodations can go a long way towards an affordable getaway.
Travellers AutoBarn Sydney recently had the feeling, that it would be time to work proactively against seasonal affective disorders….so we invited some hostels and partner to a Sunday-BBQ-Session. Under the bright blue sky we would enjoy good food and some nice drinks with friends. So it happened…
Hi there! My name is Sam, and I’m one of the three gap year students who are currently taking the Getaway Car on a 10 day tour up the east coast. Traveller’s Auto Barn were nice enough to lend it to us provided we write a few words about our experiences. We’re also shooting some random footage to hopefully have a video for the site at the end of it.
Michael, Constantin & Sabrina won the GetAway Car in September 2009 – check out their trip adventure:
After sorting out our credit cards, we were able to depart a day late from Sydney at last to escape from the lousy weather, and were heading into the tropical climate of Cairns.
Full of adventure and a sack full of expectations in the luggage, we were as much mileage as possible behind us and made our first stop in Hat Head right on a picturesque, secluded beach on which we celebrated until late into the night, our long-awaited road trip start.
Unfortunately, we were awakened the next day shortly after sunrise by heavy rains and this drove us further up north into sunny Queensland.
Alcohol, music and a free car, what else can you wish for?!? During a fantastic night out at The Gaff in Sydney, one lucky winner took the first prize home and is now driving the GetAway Car up to Cairns! For free!
