Backpackers aren’t the only tourists with a reason to come to the Whitsundays and Ben Southall’s parents are here to tell the world why.
Margaret and Duncan Southall are having their very own ‘best expedition’ – in an Apollo motorhome. The senior Southalls have been travelling in ‘grey nomad’ style enjoying a week in the Whitsundays incorporating the croc safari, Localvore tour, visits to Cedar Creek Falls, Conway and Wilsons Beaches and the Proserpine museum.
“Not everyone comes here and wants to do things on the water so activities like the Localvore tour are good ones for people who don’t want to go sailing or swimming or snorkelling,” they said.
Margaret said being a “foodie” she absolutely loved the localvore concept.
“It was a great tour and then to go back and sit and chat to everybody was great. The food at Capers was fantastic,” she said.
The Southalls visited the Proserpine museum on their ‘day off’.
“We thought we’d be there for an hour or two but there was so much variety we stayed for most of the morning,” they said.
Like Ben, the Southalls are beaming their experiences to prospective travellers all over the globe, using technology Margaret maintains the older generations have now embraced.
“I would always research things on the internet. Blogs and forums tell you quite a lot, especially about accommodation,” she said.
The Southalls will soon be leaving the Whitsundays for adventures in Bowen and beyond.
