Hello! Welcome to a “Melbourne travel secret” that has been running for a few years! Over 60 road trips done in 4 years! This event is for people new to Australia who have not been to this location (International Students, Working Holiday Makers and tourists)! No evidence is required. I will trust you!

--- (1) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ---

Your questions for me: Why is the total fee so low at $20, covering a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver, on something that seems really high quality and well planned, like a private tour company? Sounds too good to be true or that there is a catch. Is this genuine?

My answers to you: Because this project is my community service to give back. I explain this further below. The low fee is just a formality to confirm your place, so that I know you are serious on attending.

This is genuine. Over 60 road trips done in 4 years! I have created precious memories for many people new to Australia. Photos on Instagram link further above.

--- (2) ROAD TRIP SUMMARY AND ITINERARY ---

--- (3) PAYMENT ---

Total fee: $20 in total (no other costs). This covers a new, large rental (SUV), fuel and driver.

Cancellations: If I cancel the road trip for any unforeseen issues, a full refund will be given. If you cancel, there is no refund.

Why is the fee so low?

The low fee is just a formality. It might sound too good to be true or that there is a catch. There is no catch. I am simply someone who has been giving back for many years. I playfully call this project a “Melbourne travel secret”!

There are people in this world who want to genuinely give back without any expectations because they are truly fulfilled and grateful for what they have. I am one of those people. This is my community service. I am not doing this for money and I never have. Money cannot buy passion.

The nature of majestic Australia helped me find peace and passion and I want to give back by sharing that inspiring nature with people new to this country. If they are also inspired by that nature, then that is my reward. There is no hidden agenda in doing this project.

The reason I am being quite upfront is because in this day and age, there is always a catch when people do something like this. There is none with me and I am not selling or promoting anything. I do not need anything because I have peace, passion and fulfilment. I have everything. I am truly humbled and grateful.

--- (4) RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, SAFETY ---

As your driver, I am responsible and liable for your safety while we are in the vehicle. Passengers are insured as per the Australian law.

For times we are outside the vehicle, we then become responsible for our own liability and safety, just like every other capable adult in society.

--- (5) BREAKS/MEALS ---

There will be many breaks for sightseeing/walks. I will stop at places where food/snacks will be sold but you are welcome to bring your own as well. There will be a lunch break at either a cafe or takeaway shop.

--- (6) WEATHER AND WHAT TO WEAR ---

I plan events when weather looks good but please also see itinerary for location details and check the forecast to dress accordingly. My advice is to always be prepared! Recommend to have something to cover you if rain suddenly appears or if winds suddenly get cool. Also recommend to carry sunscreen and a hat.

Please also wear good, comfortable shoes that can provide protection from water (in case there are muddy areas). You can bring many things, as the vehicle will have a lot of storage space.

My road trips do not have a lot of long walks. The focus is on sightseeing, relaxing and appreciating the beauty of nature.

--- (7) PHONE CHARGING ---

Please charge your phone before joining. In the past, people have taken lots of videos and photos and used up their batteries! You can bring your charging cable if you want. The vehicle will have various charging ports.

--- (8) CONTACT ---

If you need to contact me, please reach out through Eventbrite or Instagram. If you wanted my mobile number, please let me know.
