Heading down from Brisbane or heading up from Sydney? Drop by Glenn Innes. This lovely place is home to the Australian Standing Stones. On May 1 to May 4, 2008 celebrate the great traditions of Celtic culture. The four day festival provides everyone with entertainment, song, dance, history and, of course, food.
The Australian Celtic Festival celebrated in Glen Innes, NSW displays a spectacular range of entertainment and history. Thousands pour into Glen Innes to experience the Celtic experience, Australian Standing Stones and the opportunity to meet with Aussies.
The festival’s main venue is the Australian Standing Stones. Imagine rising at dawn and listening to the eerie sounds of pipes in the autumn mists at the Standing Stones. Quite a Celtic experience that one should not miss. The festival includes street parades, ceremonial roles performed by re-enactment groups, Celtic Strongman events, bands, children’s entertainment, dancing, market stalls, and Celtic foods.
Anyone can partake in Celtic music and dance at one of the four stages at the Standing Stones or in one of the many concert venues in the town of Glen Innes. Mingle with the locals in pubs, clubs or restaurants. In Glenn Innes, there is something for everyone.

It's my first time in Australia and I was expecting koalas and kangaroos to roam the streets freely much like in some asian country where the sacred bulls and cows roam the streets like they own it. But no! I felt the aussie charm right away after I stepped off from our campervan hire australia. It's the greatest feeling because this was the first time I actually went outside the country!

I've done island hopping before but I have never made it to another continent. It was pretty exciting to see all the sights here, and I've tried some of their food. I couldn't finish off a plate! A few of our fellow campervan enthusiasts shared a table with us, and being adventurous we each ordered different types of food. And when I say different, I mean ostrich, deer and many more mammalians and birds. It was delicious! At first I told myself to think it was just a cow's leg. So I kept thinking beef, beef, beef! So I wouldn't feel sorry. I couldn't finish the whole leg.
They even thought of joining that contest where a person has to eat one whole steak of twenty pounds!

Well, so much of our first night, I almost had a stomach ache and a day in the washroom. If you really think about it, I had fun! Tomorrow it's off to the parks and preserves. Now I get to see the real kangaroos and crocs and koalas! I'll make them probably my next post cards. Which reminds me, I left my camera in the motorhome rental.

Imagine, taking your Australia Motorhome Hire beyond the sweeping stretches of the Swan River, the 119 kilometers of pristine coastline and picturesque horizons, lie a vibrant city with fun and friendly locals and sweet weather!

With the numerous waterways and green parks, one can enjoy waters ports on the Swan river. Or taste cellar-fresh wine from Swan Valley. Boasting several museums, monumental buildings, a casino and shopping districts, the city offers 50 miles of white sand beaches, like Cottesloe and Scarborough. Interact and hand-feed the wild dolphins and travel to amazing gorges and crystal clear rock pools and waterfalls. For the naturalist, trails designed for all types of bushwalkers are laid out, with picnic and camping areas galore. Not lastly, the Goldfields, east of Perth, filled with relics from the gold rush.

Navigating is easy. During the day you can shop, sightsee, and enter the outdoors scene with watersports (boating, fishing and all dialogues of surfing!), kids-travel and other beach activities. Within a short distance, you can swim with the wildlife and explore the city’s diverse selections of top destinations! Check out our Australia campervan road guides and campervan travel information.

Traveling is the most regarded lifestyle an individual can invest on since it involves constant and solid planning and cooperative external factors like the weather condition. But one cannot deny the intense feeling he gets from starting off on his first trip to a foreign land, driving into the unknown with a map and road guides, and the “i don't want to go home yet” charm when nearing the end of the trip, let's say, on a New Zealand Motorhome Rental?

A campervan hire or motorhome rental can give you exactly that. Why? You only pack once, not having to worry about over-packing and forgetting to leave your unmentionables at the hotel room. You do not have to worry about hotel accommodations and check out times every single day. You and your family and friends get to save on food and fuel. Most of all, save on time, money and disappointment. With lots of storage space and room space, ideal for entertainment - without worrying about breaking hotel furniture or overcharge stays. Even the kids would love to run around in it. Yes, a motorhome is kid-friendly, with booster and baby seats, and safety features too!

You have all the necessities you need from a motor home. It is simply a mobile home. It has a shower (hot and cold), kitchen and beds and living space you can rely on, much like in your own home. The only difference is, you get to travel with it. You don't have to worry about going potty, you don't have to hold it in, the wash room is just a few feet away. Snack on your trip while driving to and from places, getting energized for that afternoon shopping. Get to enjoy the many outdoor activities like swimming and surfing at cool beaches with accessible food and extra clothes a few feet away. Equipped with a freezer and kitchen equipment. Then at the end of the day, kick back, and sleep a sound sleep with the comforts of great air-conditioning and the company of family and friends.

The vehicle is much enjoyed when you are booked on a longer trip, it isn't much fun when you just drive around for a day. One reason is you wouldn't get to cover the places and major tourist destinations in the area. With time on your hand, you get to go wherever you want, at your own pace. And most of all, spending some quality time with the company that came along with. When you get to the pick up point, your campervan rental is set and ready to go. Everything and anything at a reasonable cost.

So plan that next vacation on a motor home. Just remember to book in advance. Talk with a friendly reservationist to assist in accommodating your bookings and inquiries, along with the insurance matters. I suggest with a New Zealand Motorhome Rental. Travel the stress-free way, I suggest in a campervan rental. Keep in mind, this trip has its bonus: You get to learn about life, and exchange some pretty neat ideas along the way.

When thinking of renting a motorhome or a campervan hire, it is important to consider the vehicle that best suits your needs.

Firstly, you have to compare quoting costs. In order to fully enjoy and benefit from what you pay for, during vehicle selections, you should compare quotes. Ask yourself why is this vehicle much more expensive than the other one when they both have the same number of berths or the same facilities. Probably because there are daily costs involved. To help you decide:

• Check the bonds. Do they require a security bond to be paid upon pick-up of the motorhome rental? Compare how much the difference is for each.
  
  Ask the operator why there is a difference in quotes. Bonds are excess costs that are needed to insure the vehicle in case something happens to it, such as accidents for example. Bonds are included in the excess reduction options. Most operators have an all inclusive package ready, but clients can choose other options, too. Before renting a vehicle it is a good idea to know the coverage and cost. Bonds are refundable, only if there is no vehicle damage.
  Renting more than one vehicle? Ask the operator if they can recommend multiple hire discounts.
• There is also such a thing as one way rentals. Ask the operator about their one way rental terms. Is the fee separate from the daily rates?
• Lastly, are there any taxes and other rental fees to be paid? Remember to ask this, for some operators do not always quote this up front.

So much for comparing quotes. When it comes to the vehicle, it's a different story. In order to get what you pay for and enjoy the vehicle that you need. Ask yourself what would you be comfortable with during the length of your vacation or rental duration. Here are important things to consider:

• Are there children coming along? They might need space and maybe booster seats.

  
  

• The number of people traveling may be the same number as the berth of a vehicle.

  
  

• Do you need a toilet and shower?

  
  

• What is the age of the vehicle? This is important because the age (usually 0 – 3 years) dictates the cost of the vehicle because it's a new model, and it might come with modern and new facilities such as a DVD player, colored TV, etc. This is also something to consider when traveling with kids.

  
  

• Also note the seating configuration and lay-out of the vehicle. Consider the physical setting, such as the access for example.

  
  

• Would you want to drive an automatic or manual ?

  
  

• These are major things to consider when renting a motorhome or a campervan rental.
  
  

But there is one thing you shouldn't forget. The best deal is when you are having fun!
