Sometimes the destination is the adventure.
There are plenty of delicious campsites to roll into and pitch a tent this weekend. But maybe, just maybe, you’re looking for something nice. Different. Unusual. A pyramid in the Snowy Mountains perhaps? Or a houseboat on the Murray River? We’ve searched far and wide to uncover a bunch of quirky places to spend the weekend (or a week) that are as adventurous to stay in as they are to get to.
