I did the hike together with my daughter who is ten years and I think from this travel she could more benefit for her life than from any other materialised

Memorable parts?
There are so many very special moments, but we feel that this holiday enabled us to become involved with local people and their culture that we couldn't have achieved independently. We also enjoyed the combination of nature, wildlife and city attractions.
Tips?
This tour offered so much more in reality than can be described in a brochure.
Local benefits?
Certainly we interacted and used local people as much as possible.
Overall rating?

Our hosts, Lucy and Angel, were brilliant. Angel picked us up from the airport and the holiday started right there. He is a mine of local information and our journey was punctuated by him picking out the spectacular flora and fauna of the region - buzzards, vultures and other local wildlife. Lucy put together for us a 50-mile walking itinerary for the next six days which started with Angel leading us on a personal 2-hour hike to see the local landmarks. The schedule then...

Memorable parts?
The first two days of the Great Ocean Walk; also the Atherton tablelands stay.
Tips?

Yes, except for Red Centre tour, which relied a lot on Aboriginal culture and settings, but seemed to involve no indigenous people.
