HONEYMOON Wild Side 2145 views

Heli-swagging is the latest honeymoon indulgence for adventure lovers.

Anyone planning the honeymoon trip of a lifetime will love Wild Bush Luxury, operating out of Sydney, Australia. A far cry from the jolly swagman’s basic canvas bed-roll in Waltzing Matilda, you'll sleep in the Blue Mountains camp on timber decks with inlaid cushions on which the canvas swags are rolled out. Guests slide between 500 thread count cotton sheets beneath soft duvets and fall asleep under a canopy of stars. There is an open-air ensuite bathroom, including a hot water bucket shower. And come evening, a wholesome meal that might include a traditional camp-oven roast or a BBQ seafood banquet is enjoyed on the banks of the river. Next day you could be on a bushwalk trail, kayaking on the Wollondilly River or out on 4WD excursion to scenic lookouts.

Best of all, you can opt to be collected from Sydney by helicopter and flown for 45 minutes over the escarpments and valleys of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, over miles of spectacular wilderness to the remote private property on the southern edge of the National Park, untouched by tourism.
