Drop Bears are out there

EACH year the youth travel industry in Australia holds an event called the Golden Backpack Awards.
This year, about 240 people attended the awards which were held at the Skypoint Observation Deck on the Gold Coast.
For the fourth year, local tour company Drop Bear has brought home the award for the Best Tour Activity in Queensland.
It is an fantastic achievement for this small tour operator which competes with the likes of AJ Hacket and Australia Skydive for a top position.
The team is extremely proud and hopes that this inspires other small tour operators to be more involved with industry events and to reach for the stars.
Drop Bear is locally owned by Noosa locals Mark and Hana. They are passionate about what they do and have a small team of dedicated Drop Bears who absolutely love Fraser Island.
They offer a truly memorable eco island adventure and with more than 30 years’ experience of living and visiting Fraser Island between them.
They have plenty of knowledge and skills to make a camping or glamping trip truly amazing.
Four years of being the best in Queensland has made this one very proud and impressive little Noosa success story.
