Yahoo!7 Answers Australia

With companies encouraging us to reduce our annual leave and all these cheap travel deals around, it seems everyone is taking advantage and going off on a holiday.

I’m particularly interested in getting away from it all – leaving the city and seeing the natural wildlife in all its glory. One of the most beautiful, natural areas of Australia is the Northern Territory and currently the Tourism Northern Territory is doing a big push on getting people to visit this area. I’d love to capture one of those wonderful moments you see pictures of – a sunset over Uluru, the raw naked landscape, a crocodile jumping out of the water to be fed. Doing a driving trip like from Cairns to Darwin or Perth to Darwin would be intriguing – what a way to see our country!

One of my favourite holiday moments

Bargain flights to exotic locations aren’t just limited to domestic carriers. It’s getting very cheap fly to the USA and having watched Stephen Fry’s current ABC documentary where he travels through each of the 52 states, I’ve been very inspired to take a trip across the Pacific. I’m not interested in seeing the smog of LA or the sky scrapers of NYC though, I’d love to see some of the scenery in the centre of the continent. I’ve visited The Rockies in Canada before and jumping into a glacier lake was one of my all-time favourite holiday moments (I even captured it on camera). Apparently the Rockies on the US side is just as spectacular – particularly near the continental divide in Wyoming. Although if you really want to get back to nature, Alaska is your state. Whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking and cruises around the glaciers, it sounds like a perfect holiday.

Have you had a holiday like these above? Perhaps you’d like to tell us about it? Sony Alpha wants to know: What’s the most memorable holiday moment you’ve captured on camera?

I think it’s about time that I head to Yahoo!7 Travel to start researching my next adventure!
