What to do in NSW & ACT
Make this a weekend that will stand out with exhilarating skydiving over the beach in Wollongong, or over Newcastle Beach. Or if you’re more into low-key adventures, grab a surfboard and head to the Central Coast for a private surfing lesson, or take your board to the sand dunes with sandboarding and a 4WD tour in Port Stephens. Otherwise, stop by the gorgeous Blue Mountains for a half-day canyoning adventure.
What to do in VIC
Go from land to sea this Australia Day weekend, and get behind the wheel with an epic Ferrari Drive along the winding roads of the Mornington Peninsula. A must do for all car lovers! Then gear up for some stand up paddle boarding and witness the gorgeous Phillip Bay. If flying adventures are more your style, give this hot air balloon experience over the Yarra Valley a go. The perfect summer weekend.
What to do in QLD
If you’re looking for something extra fun, why not take to the skies this weekend with an epic skydive over Cairns City or parasailing for 2 on the Gold Coast. Otherwise, if staying on land is more your thing, check out this treetop adventure.
What to do in WA
There’s no better weekend to get out and about, exploring the beautiful WA landscape.
