So, What is Wicked Friends dot com?

In a nutshell, WickedFriends dot com is a blog about Tourism & Travel in Australia with a specific theme of connecting Backpackers and other Self Drive Holiday Makers with Tourism Companies in Australia. This blog is maintained by Wicked Campers so you can be sure the focus is on fun, seeing and doing more, spending less and having a Wicked time travelling in Australia!

Break it down for me, Joe

Wicked Campers = Cheap Campervan Hire for Backpackers in Australia
Friends = All the great Australian tourism companies who want to show you a good time whilst on your Australian travels.
Wicked Campers + Friends = Wicked Friends = A Blog about Helping Backpackers find Discount Travel and interesting information related to Tourism in Australia

Wicked Friends Profile Pages

Every Wicked Friend has their very own feature page which includes details about the business including their address, contact details and a link to their website (if they’ve got one). Not only that, every Wicked Friend is offering a discount or special offer exclusively to customers of Wicked Campers. To redeem these deals, simply rent a Wicked and let the company know you’re a Friend of the Wicked!

How Do I Use this Website?

WickedFriends dot com is a blog so that means it is frequently updated with the most recently published article appearing first on the home page. What that also means is that it’s a never ending story that anybody can contribute to… especially you! If you have something to contribute simply leave a comment below the relevant article. For more info on how to leave a blog comment, read the next paragraph!

Why Should I Comment? How Do I Make Comments?

Blogs enable open dialogue between the author/s and readers. Comments are the way to have your say on the topics we discuss here at WickedFriends dot com.

You should comment if you’ve got an opinion on something or a story to share about your travel experiences. Maybe you want to talk about a location you visited or an activity you participated in. Perhaps you have some questions or feedback for a specific Wicked Friend, if so, find their profile page and leave a comment there.

Perhaps you’re a jerk spammer looking to spam us with links to viagra pages, in which case we’ll delete your shit before it ever sees the light of day, you grubby little turd! :)

You can leave a comment by filling in the comment form below each post. If you can’t see the comment form, look for a link at the end of each article that has the word “comments” in it and click on that. Too Easy!

You can also browse through a listing of all our Wicked Friends or use the links to the left and right of each page. These links are explained below…

Understanding the Categories and Links

The links to the left of the page are our way of giving a little bit of extra love to the Friends, Activities and Destinations we feel like featuring at any given time.

The links on the right of the page are Category links. Everytime a blog post is made we “tag” it as belonging to one or more categories in order to describe the contents of the post.

Say, for example, we blogged about Sunshine Coast Skydivers, a tandem skydiving company located in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. We might tag that post with skydiving, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast and Queensland. You could then click on those category links to see all posts made that have been tagged as belonging to that category.

Thank You, Wicked, For Empowering Me with Knowledge. How Can I Ever Repay You?

You’re most welcome… we don’t want you thinking this site is “as confusing as a shit fight in a chocolate factory”(?!), so it makes sense for us to help you find your way around.

…comment, Comment, COMMENT!!!

If you feel we’ve neglected to mention something important and you have a question for us, feel free to leave a comment below. If you’ve got a suggestion for an article topic or think you know how to run a blog better than we do (which is highly likely), squeeze off a nugget of wicked wisdom in the comments section! If you want to promote your own travel blog here, then please say G’Day and link to it in the comment section (just don’t spam us… you might get a slap).
