me and a mate are looking at the grand southern trip and are just wondering how often do you get the oppertunity to cut loose n have a party? both the grand northern and the southern have great scenery and history, but we want the oppertunity to party aswel. Last year i did the grand Australian and there was loads of partying to be had on the coast bt it slowed down a little in the northern territory. Any advice would be appriciated. Oh and what is the average age of people in the America trips? cheers x

Hi! i did the southern this year and it was a constant party! i wouldnt worry about that! you pretty much have the chance to party every night, even in the sleepy towns lol! it was by far the best thing i have ever decided to do in my life! loved every bit! if you want any more advice just shout x

Heyyy! I am going to do the Grand Southern on the 1st April! And I am only 18... drinking age being 21 in the USA! However, i spoke to someone from contiki who confirmed that there were already 4 or 5 people under 21 booked on the trip! Sooo even if I am not going out partying.. I will be.. as I am a yorkshire lass!!!

Where abouts are you from!? x
