Eccentric Australia

Australia’s a fun-loving place and also quite wacky at times, which makes a trip to this diverse country all the more interesting. Bradt Guides is celebrating this approach to life in a new coffee-table photography book, Eccentric Australia. Quirky images are the focus accompanied by personal comments from Steve Parish; Australia’s foremost photographer and publisher of Australiana and natural history.


Animal Oddities

Stay 7 nights in Cairns and enjoy a 4WD day tour up to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation Wilderness area where you will have the opportunity to spot crocodiles on the Daintree River and hopefully catch a glimpse of the elusive Southern Cassowaries. Then take a day cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef with Quick Silver to see schools of fish with their great diversity in colour and shape which have a strikingly original eccentricity!

Outback pubs

Enjoy a 6 day tour from Adelaide to Alice Springs stopping along the way in Parachilna Gorge home to the legendary Outback Prairie Hotel. This pub is more than just a local bar - it offers affordable upmarket accommodation, a wide selection of native cuisine known as "Flinders feral food", and even decent espresso coffee! Then from Alice Springs travel to Darwin on a 3 day tour were amongst other great highlights you will visit the famed Daly Waters pub and Adelaide River Inn - two typical outback roadhouse and watering holes.

When art becomes quirk

Enjoy 7 nights stay in Sydney at the Quality Hotel Cambridge with 8 days Avis car hire. Sydney is a great place to experience the mobile art at Broken Hill where the locals theory is 'if it moves, drive it, if it doesn't, paint it', or take a drive to Coogee beach and visit the Kombi vans decorated with colourful quirky murals!
