My Outback Adventure was awesome. My trip manager, the drivers we had in both sections and my fellow travellers were so nice and easy to get along with. The trip lets you learn more about Australian history, takes you to places you may not go normally and it was loads of fun! It was great that as an Australian I could still do a contiki trip!
