Places We Go Team | September 23, 2017 | 4:59 pm | 7 Comments

Clint is on the trip of a lifetime through Western Canada… The Travelmarvel tour begins in Vancouver, one of the world’s most liveable cities and Clint gets to the heart of it’s history and culture before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer train for the two-day bucket list journey to the Rockies. Arriving in Banff, it’s all about the scenery and cowboy culture, plus those incredible views from the surrounding mountains…

    We jus got home from this trip. I would do it again every year if I could. I love mountains and water and wow was I impressed. It’s even better than all the pictures and videos.

    Done the Travel marvel trip this April / May and it was absolutely fantastic.The tour guide and bus driver on the land excursion part of the tour were awesome and what they did not know about the tour was not worth knowing.The scenery of British Columbia is just beautiful and the Fauna was unique.The Rocky Mountaineer was tremendous and would recommend it to anyone as a must.It was the first time my wife and I have been on a cruise ship and the Holland America lines Nieuw Amsterdam was exceptional, we would now contemplate doing more of the cruise ship trips around Australia our home.

        Hi Rachel, we did this tour in May! We have also done one in September which was equally as amazing! Between May and September are the best months to see everything and of course, you can always go in winter for the skiing and Xmas celebrations!

I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earli I was lucky enough explore regional Victoria earlier in the year (between lockdowns!), and tour the Goldfields with @big4holidayparks – Sure, I got my much-needed fix of the outdoors and was able to feed my insatiable curiosity as I explored the regions utterly fascinating history & culture, but it was sitting up at the old bar of family run Munari wines, just outside of Heathcote that got me.
.
 Chatting to the chief winemaker Adrian Munari, and his daughter India (over a lovely red, of course) I heard all about the historic sheep station that was established in 1871, and life on the property today. (I wonder how the farmers endured the pandemic in 1919?)  
 .
Here’s to a happy summer holiday for us all, of enjoying those ‘moments’, wherever we are. 
.
 I based myself at the @BIG4BendigoAscotHolidayPark

Ready for another celebration of a brilliant person and travel experience for us all?

Meet James Rainger from @fleetadventures 
.
He not only spends his life taking us travellers on scenic chopper tours over his World-Heritage Listed backyard of the #newengland region – he’s one of the many brilliant pilots who you’ll find hovering above the blazing heat helping fight our Australian Bushfires.

When I shared my nerves about flying, he settled me with in seconds. Super grounded, in safe hands kind-a-feeling, with the biggest sparkle in his eye.

“To be part of the firefighting team is being in the #armidale  community - we all live here, our kids go to school here, so we love it. Armidale is a community where we all band together, we’re very passionate about our backyard, and we hope it shows.. and we certainly hope people come and see what it’s like. We’ve got a unique view of part of the world that not many people get to see. And there are not hordes of people here, so it’s very personal, we like to bring people into our world and our life – and share it – thank you for taking the time to come and visit us… “
