Camping is a great cheap alternative,or, if you hate the idea of tents a lot of caravan parks have cabin type setups which a re really great too, or maybe you could even hire a camper van and do a road trip type thing.

Cruising (pre covid) was great value. Travelling within our own State is our option now.

I agree with Mom64356; traveling interstate and off season 🙂

Great tip, we do try to travel interstate outside of school holiday dates! Less queuing up for things, cheaper accommodation and meals.

Travelling to Queensland in the off season saves alot of money and is always fun!

Sharing accomodation with other families is also a good idea and gives everyone plenty of space.

We go during low peak and off season times to places as this saves money. Camping, rural and beach holidays are good and cheap too.

Living rurally there a quite a few local camping grounds. We regularly take the kids camping, avoiding peak crowd times. It’s nice having the place nearly to ourselves. Fabulously relaxing
