How
the Two of You Can Be Outback Jack and Jill
For television
viewers who follow Outback Jack, the reality show which takes pampered
women and puts them in pursuit of a man in the middle of Australia's rugged
Outback, the Outback looks like a rough and rugged destination. It is
-- but, for many couples, it's also an adventure trip waiting to happen.
If you'd like
to plan a romantic getaway to the Outback (and you're not worried about
breaking a nail), here are a few leads to get you started:
by
Eleanor S. Morris Even before Crocodile Dundee, just about everyone
had heard of the Australian outback. And what a wild, adventurous place
it is, what with kangaroos and wallabies, brilliant birds and platypuses,
aborigine caves and deepset gorges.Although much of the outback consists
of dry plains dotted with sparse vegetation, in the center of Queensland
you'll find a dense green oasis, thick with lush plants and alive with
an exotic assortment of birds and animals: Carnarvon Gorge, one of Australia's
most magnificent parks.
