Kirsty and Carly embark on the ultimate Aussie roadtrip as they motor around New South Wales with Van-Tastic Adventures for six action-packed, free-wheeling weeks of adventure.
About vantasticnsw
Kirsty
and Carly are sisters from South Australia who have known each other ever since
Carly was born. Their first travel
experience was as four and six year olds when their family moved to Japan. At their Japanese school, Carly was
constantly surrounded by children attempting to squeeze her chubby cheeks. Being taller than the principal, Kirsty
was able to successfully shield Carly from their advances. The girls soon put their unusual looks
to good use as child models.
Back
in Australia, they packed up the family car each year to go camping at a muddy
lake across the Victorian border.
Carly’s evasion skills developed, and as an eleven year old, she managed
to get lost for an afternoon while riding her bike around the lake. After a full-scale search, she
eventually turned up twelve kilometres away.
Following
that experience, Carly chose to stay home and concentrate on her sporting
abilities, while Kirsty jetted off to both Japan and the USA as a high school
exchange student. Kirsty has since
travelled solo to over a dozen countries, while Carly’s basketball trips have
taken her to places as varied as Hong Kong, Spain and the USA.
Now,
for the first time in years, they are reunited as travel partners, prepared to
take on New South Wales. They are
hoping their passion and determination will make up for Kirsty’s (lack of)
reverse-parallel parking skills and Carly’s (uncontrollable) fits of
excitement. Look out for them on
the road!
