Over Sixty Winter 2022 Digital

32 WINTER 2022 | OVERSIXTY.COM.AU LEE ATKINSON DESTINATIONS Best for wildlife: Sal Salis, Ningaloo, WA In terms of wildlife encounters swimming with whales is hard to top. Ningaloo on WA’s Coral Coast is one of the best places to swim with whale sharks and humpbacks. And as far as glamping goes it’s just as hard to top Sal Salis, a five-star beach camp in Cape Range National Park. Each of the ‘tents’ feature a ceiling fan to keep you cool, solar powered lights, an ensuite bathroom and views across the dunes to the sea beyond. www.salsalis.com.au Best for relaxing: Truffle Lodge, Tas This glamping spot beside the Derwent River west of Hobart is in the middle of one of the first Black Périgord truffle farms planted in Australia, a one-hectare truffiére under hazelnuts. There are five African-style safari tents strung out along the riverbank, connected via boardwalk to the main lodge. Ensuites have been cleverly installed in rainwater tanks, with a handmade wooden bath, separate rain shower and steam-punkish pipe fittings, but it’s the large deck that’s the best bit – choosing between the rocking chair and hammock is often the hardest thing you’ll do all day. www.trufflelodge.com Best for walking: Carnarvon Gorge, Qld Not only is the 5-star Carnarvon Gorge Wilderness Lodge a supremely comfortable glamp camp, with safari style cabins that are air-conditioned, have an ensuite and a verandah ideal for relaxing with a book, FULL STORY page 37 PLAN DESTINATIONS INSPIRATION CRUISING Travel Above: Wild Bush Luxury’s Arkaba Conservancy has redefined the idea of swagging out with its luxe bush camps Photo: Arkaba Station DESTINATIONS DESTINATIONS 33 Glamping it up across Australia 38 America’s music cities PLAN 35 What to expect in travel in 2022 INSPIRATION 38 5 reasons why Tasmania is unlike anywere else 39 Travelling solo on The Ghan CRUISING 36 Cruising is back 37 Win a cruise! 40 Which ship is right for me?
