The Undara Retreat

Posted by on September 27, 2009 at 6:48 am.

Though I may whinge about tour guides and rough roads, I really did have a great time at Undara and I’m really glad I had the opportunity to go. I think the best part of visiting Undara is just staying there. It’s far away from everything but so close to nature.

This is the Life

You know what the only real con to campervanning is? You end up spending more than you should each night at Cairns! The place is non-campervan-friendly. There’s absolutely no free parking and the police will issue on-the-spot tickets between $150 and $500. Boo Cairns. Boo I say!

Manual vs. Automatic

I had thought that most car rental companies rent automatic-drive vehicles, but I was very much mistaken. Some campervan rental companies (ex. Hippie) only rent manual-drive vehicles. Other campervan rental companies (ex. Wicked Campers) have both, but the majority of their vehicles are manual-drive. You can request an automative-drive vehicle, but they might not have enough to go around so give them lots of notice if you require automatic-drive.
