Pitch Perfect - Worldwide Motorhome Holidays Blog

After two years of living full-time in our motorhome it’s time to try something different. After all, as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. Which is why we are heading to Canada to follow one of the Alan Rogers Travel Worldwide Caravan and Motorhome Holidays self-guided tours.

Every year, extreme heat and wildfires threaten people, properties, wildlife and natural landscapes. While this is a global problem, the issue is particularly acute in Australia. Recent above-average temperatures and below-average rainfall make bushfires increasingly likely – elevating fire risks across this vast country. 

As travellers, we seek out destinations with stunning landscapes and diverse climates - usually something completely different from our native country. However, amidst the beauty and diversity lies the potential for natural disasters that can threaten life. These risks are heightened if you're unfamiliar with the area and local weather conditions.

As you drive this huge country, you'll come across remnants of its railway history everywhere, when steam trains were the only way to connect far-flung places.

These carefully chosen faces on America's currency serve as a constant reminder of the nation's heritage and the key figures who brought it to life.

Join us as we delve into the history, culture, and tourist attractions of these hidden gems.

Australia's banknotes are much more than mere currency. They serve as vivid canvases of the nation's rich history and diverse culture. Each denomination tells a story featuring iconic individuals whose lives have left an indelible mark on the Australian landscape. As we embark on this exploration, we delve into the historical and cultural context that breathes life into the portraits adorning the Australian Dollar notes.
