MEET THE TEAM: Hi! Salut! Hola! My name is Catalina, 35 years old, French-born Chilean and Australian grown, speaking 3 fluent languages.
Having travelled around the world from a very young age, I developed a passion for adventuring and getting to know new people and places. I found my passion for camping when going on countless outback trips with my family as well as our beach home in gorgeous Jervis Bay. I also started surfing at the age of 20, finding a love for the ocean.

I studied Ecotourism Management in Chile, specialising in environmental interpretation and low impact horse riding activities.
Back in Australia at the age of 27, it has always been my dream to work in sustainable tourism and destiny had it that I join the MDA team! I can’t wait to help you organise your own authentic and unforgettable experience at our incredible and unique destinations! So go ahead, contact me and let’s get started on THE adventure of your life!

🇫🇷 RENCONTREZ L’ÉQUIPE : Hi ! Salut ! Hola! Je m’appelle Catalina, j’ai 35 ans, je suis d’origine chilienne, née en France et j’ai grandi en Australie, ce qui me permet de parler trois langues couramment.
Ayant voyagé autour du monde dès mon plus jeune âge, j’ai développé une passion pour l’aventure, la rencontre de nouvelles personnes et la découverte de nouveaux endroits. J’ai découvert ma passion pour le camping en faisant d’innombrables excursions dans l’Outback avec ma famille, ainsi que dans notre maison au bord de la plage à Jervis Bay. J’ai également commencé à surfer à l’âge de 20 ans.

J’ai étudié la gestion de l’écotourisme au Chili, en me spécialisant dans l’interprétation de l’environnement et les activités équestres à faible impact.
De retour en Australie à l’âge de 27 ans, j’ai toujours rêvé de travailler dans le tourisme durable et le destin a voulu que je rejoigne l’équipe de My Dream Adventures !

Do you see waves too? 🌊
This 'ocean of trees' can be seen from Point Lookout in New England National Park located off the Mid North Coast of .

There lie the World Heritage listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, where you can find ancient plants and animals that remain relatively unchanged from when the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana broke up about 180 million years ago 🦖

The park is set across the traditional boundaries of the Dunghutti, Anaiwan and Gumbaynggirr People, and covers an area of great spiritual and cultural significance to local Aboriginals. 
Point Lookout is a sacred location, known to Aboriginal people as 'Berarngutta', which roughly translates as 'prohibited area'. It is considered a men-only place, and today many Aboriginal women choose to continue this tradition and avoid visiting the area.

New England National Park is definitely a must see to immerse yourself in fairy tales forests and gorgeous waterfalls 🌿

Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island located in , will now be officially named by its original Indigenous name: K’gari 🤍

Pronounced « Gurri », which means « paradise », this is how the traditional owners of the island, the Butchulla people, have always called this iconic World Heritage Area.

It is an important step as « Fraser » is seen as offensive to the traditional owners. It was given after Eliza Fraser who was shipwrecked on the island in 1836. Upon returning home, she spread extremely negative stories about the Butchulla people who had helped her surviving during her time on the island.

This name change is a significant moment for the community as they have been campaigning for years for it.
We couldn’t be happier for them and we definitely invite you to discover this true paradise! 🏝️

Can you hike Kings Canyon with kids?

The Rim walk is an absolute must do of located in Watarrka National Park in the . It is a 3-4 hours 6km loop walk that starts with a steep climb to reach the top of the canyon. Once you’re up, a spectacular landscape awaits to create unforgettable memories for the whole family! 🤩

💡 Our tips to enjoy this experience with kids:

- Under 2 yo, we recommend a child carrier. Between 2 and 4, it is doable if your child is a keen walker but be ready to take your time and carry them for some parts. Most importantly: there’s no guardrails so be extremely careful with the cliffs ⚠️ (it is not called « Rim walk » for nothing!). Above 6 yo, they will be more autonomous and able to really enjoy the walk and the landscapes. 

- Start at sunrise as the temperature can rise very fast. Carry lots of water and snacks to keep everyone fuelled up until the end, and be ready to take regular breaks. The lookouts are so incredible that you will want to take the time to marvel at the scenery anyway 😅

- To keep them entertained and motivated to walk until the end, play some games like « I spy with my little eye ». It will encourage them to explore and enjoy the environment they’re walking in!

- Even if the walk should be completed in half a day, don’t plan anything after to really take your time (and everyone should be pretty tired after 😁).

Happy family hiking!

Lake Bumbunga is one of the most accessible Australian pink lakes, only a 1h40 drive from Adelaide 💕

The pink colour is caused by the high salinity level combined with the presence of a salt-loving algae and a bacteria (Halobacteria). Together, they secrete carotenoid pigments that give these lakes otherworldly colours that can range from light to dark pink, orange and even lilac sometimes.

Located in Lochiel in , is famous for changing colours throughout the year and the time of the day. We recommend going when the sun is high on a bright day before heading to the nearby Clare Valley to taste award-winning wines 🍷

The view over the mountains when you arrive in Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park is simply breathtaking!

The Flinders Ranges is the largest mountain range in , with a spectacular natural amphitheatre, Wilpena Pound in its centre.
Located 400km north of Adelaide, it is one of Australia's best kept secrets and an absolute must see if you ask us! 🤠

It is a highly cultural significant natural site for Adnyamathanha people, the Traditional Owners of the area, who have lived there for tens of thousands of years. ‘Ikara’ (the traditional name of Wilpena Pound) translates as 'meeting place'. According to the Dreamtime stories, the mountains have been shaped by two 'Akurra' (giant serpents) whose bodies form the walls of the pound 🐍

The best way to learn more about this very special place is to go on a cultural tour with Adnyamathanha people and then to jump on a scenic flight to fully appreciate its magnitude and beauty ✨

Did you know that coral cays were created by parrot fish poo? 💩

Compared to a volcanic island, a cay is a low-elevation small sand island formed on top of coral reefs. The ocean currents transport sediments on a reef where it will build up and create a sand island.

And our beautiful parrot fish friends play an essential role in creating these sediments! They feed on corals and excrete sand that will later form coral cays!

You can actually hear them grind on corals with their parrot-like beaks when snorkelling or diving on the reef! 😮

Have you ever seen one?
