Daydreaming and Day tripping


9 # Take A Daytrip


What better way in practicing your travel writing skills than to review something close to home? Many people fail to explore their own backyards - until perhaps overseas or interstate guests come to visit. You may be surprised at the variety of interesting activities on offer within either your city or within an hours drive of where you live.

Your task this week is to plan a daytrip either for yourself – or to include friends or family – and go and enjoy yourself! Pitch your review for Weekend newspaper lifestyle magazine insert. 300 – 600 words which can be accompanied by photos.

When writing your review, remember to include all details regarding ticketing prices and availability, office hours or additional tours which can be added. Suggest age groups who would gain the most enjoyment and any interesting information you may find out about the history or the setup of where you are going. Remember to give basic travel times or public transport information from your city centre.
