Reisdetails van Rondreis Australie
Omschrijving:
Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn. Onderweg maken we een wandeling in het 'Tower Hill State Game Reserve'. Dit beschermde gebied bestaat uit een oude, dichtbegroeide krater waar we vrijwel zeker koala's zien. Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.
Periode:
van 6 november 2013 tot en met 4 december 2013

Reisdetails van Rondreis Australie
Omschrijving:
Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn. Onderweg maken we een wandeling in het 'Tower Hill State Game Reserve'. Dit beschermde gebied bestaat uit een oude, dichtbegroeide krater waar we vrijwel zeker koala's zien. Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.
Periode:
van 6 november 2013 tot en met 4 december 2013

Reisdetails van Rondreis Australie
Omschrijving:
Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn. Onderweg maken we een wandeling in het 'Tower Hill State Game Reserve'. Dit beschermde gebied bestaat uit een oude, dichtbegroeide krater waar we vrijwel zeker koala's zien. Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.
Periode:
van 6 november 2013 tot en met 4 december 2013

Reisdetails van Rondreis Australie
Omschrijving:
Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn.

Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.

Reisdetails van Rondreis Australie
Omschrijving:
Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn. Onderweg maken we een wandeling in het 'Tower Hill State Game Reserve'. Dit beschermde gebied bestaat uit een oude, dichtbegroeide krater waar we vrijwel zeker koala's zien. Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.

[title] => Rondreis Australie
[description] => Op 6 november a.s. vertrekken we, voor een 29 dagen durende rondreis, naar Australie. Na de vlucht via Hong Kong verblijven we drie nachten in Sydney, met bijna vijf miljoen inwoners de grootste stad van het land. We hopen daar het symbool van de stad en van Australië, het Opera House aan het felblauwe water van de haven te kunnen bezichtigen. Hiervandaan hebben we een schitterend uitzicht op de befaamde Harbour Bridge (die we niet gaan beklimmen).
Vanuit Sydney rijden we door een uitgestrekt heuvellandschap naar het nationaal park 'Blue Mountains'. Dit gebied behoort tot de 'Great Dividing Range' en is gevormd uit reusachtige zandstenen plateaus waar ruim 600 verschillende soorten eucalyptusbomen voorkomen. Hier kunnen we mooie wandelingen maken.We hopen dat de grote bosbranden dan inmiddels zijn geblust en dat we dit gebied in kunnen.
Vanuit de Blue Mountains rijden we via de Abercrombie Caves naar de hoofdstad Canberra. Hier verblijven we 1 nacht. We rijden in ongeveer vijf uur naar het oude goudzoekersstadje Beechworth, in de mooie Ovens Valley. In dit stadje zijn veel gebouwen uit de 'Goldrush' bewaard gebleven. In de heuvelachtige omgeving kunnen we wandelen.
Daarna rijden we door naar Melbourne. Melbourne is met ruim vier miljoen inwoners de tweede stad in Australië, maar staat gevoelsmatig bij veel Aussies op nummer één. In Melbourne zijn, op loopafstand van ons hotel, talloze musea, restaurants en parken.
Na Melbourne volgen we de Great Ocean Road langs de grillige kust die dag in dag uit bestookt wordt door de machtige golven van de oceaan. Door dit voortdurende geweld van het water zijn er indrukwekkende rotsformaties ontstaan waarvan de 'Twelve Apostles' de bekendste zijn. Onderweg maken we een wandeling in het 'Tower Hill State Game Reserve'. Dit beschermde gebied bestaat uit een oude, dichtbegroeide krater waar we vrijwel zeker koala's zien. Ook emoes en kangoeroes komen hier veel voor. We overnachten langs de Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool en Robe.
Vanuit Robe is het ongeveer vier uur rijden naar Adelaide. Adelaide telt ruim een miljoen inwoners en is de hoofdstad van South Australia.
We verlaten Adelaide en rijden via wijngaarden en kleine dorpjes, noordwaarts de droge outback in. Dit kan natuurlijk uitlopen als we vertraging oplopen in de wijnstreek Barossa en Clare Valley.Na een vroege start maken we een stop in het plaatsje William Creek, de ‘kleinste nederzetting van Australië”. Het enige, dus belangrijkste bouwwerk in William Creek, is de pub.
Onderweg naar Coober Pedy passeren we de 'dingo fence'; een hek met een lengte van 9600 kilometer dwars door het land, tegen de verspreiding van de dingo, de Australische wilde hond. Ten noorden van het hek is de dingo een beschermd dier en ten zuiden ervan schieten boeren ze soms neer, om hun schapen te beschermen. De leegte en verlatenheid van dit uitgestrekte gebied is fascinerend. Coober Pedy, in Aboriginaltaal 'blanke man in een gat', dankt zijn bestaan aan de vele avonturiers die hier op zoek gingen naar het waardevolle opaal. Vanwege het extreme klimaat (in de zomer kan de temperatuur hier oplopen tot 45°C) speelt een groot deel van het dagelijks leven zich onder de grond af. Huizen, winkels, hotels, musea en twee kerken zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen. Uiteraard volgen wij het voorbeeld van de lokale bevolking en slapen we in een eenvoudig rotshotel.
Vanuit Cooper Pedy rijden we in negen uur door prachtige landschappen naar Kings Canyon, waar we overnachten. De volgende ochtend starten we vroeg met een wandeling door de spectaculaire kloof van deze Kings Canyon.
Daarna rijden we door naar Yulara Village, de kampeerplaats bij Ayers Rock, ongeveer 20 kilometer van 'the rock'. Dit is een modern complex met onder andere een prima camping met goede voorzieningen, waaronder zelfs een zwembad, winkels en uitgaansgelegenheden. Ayers Rock, voor de aboriginals Uluru, is de grootste monoliet ter wereld en hét symbool van Australië. De kolos trekt veel bezoekers en dat is niet voor niets.
Op een half uur rijden liggen de Olga's, imposante rotsen die de Aboriginals Kata Tjuta noemen. De grootste Olga reikt tot 546 meter en is daarmee zelfs hoger dan Ayers Rock.
De volgende dag rijden we in ongeveer vijf uur naar Alice Springs waarvandaan we met de beroemdste Australische trein, ‘The Ghan’, in comfortabele stoelen in ongeveer zestien uur naar Katherine reizen.
Van Katherine rijden we naar Kakadu, een van de mooiste en grootste nationale parken van het continent. Het gevarieerde landschap omvat stukjes regenwoud, moerasgebieden met mangrovebossen en zandsteenplateaus, waarvan watervallen zich naar beneden storten.
Na het Kakadu park te hebben bezocht rijden we naar Darwin.
Vanuit Darwin vliegen we in twee en een half uur naar Cairns.
Cairns, een moderne stad met ruim 150.000 inwoners, is de belangrijkste uitvalbasis voor de noordelijke eilanden van het Great Barrier Reef. Behalve snorkelen en duiken, kunnen we ook leuke excursies maken, zoals een rit over de Kurandaspoorweg of een ‘raft’-tour.
En dan zit het er weer op en vliegen we vanuit Cairns, via Hong Kong, terug naar Amsterdam waar we op 4 december aankomen. Ruim op tijd dus om de verjaardag van Sinterklaas te kunnen vieren.
