Sea, surf and cold lager: It's not hard to see why Australia is such a hit with Brits heading abroad. Here's what people are saying about Australian travel.

How much money do i need to travel Australia for 7 months? (12/29/2011)
|
i think 2000 each for 7 months is not welll enough in a country like australia. But it all depends on your choice what you want to explore in australia. if you want only explore Sydney then its enough buy only for sightseeing no shooping..

Mine specification was a term originally used to describe the modifications made to light vehicles to improve their safety standards, for use at mine sites. Today the term mine spec is also being used to describe vehicles that are used on construction sites, building sites, or by any company with a requirement, for equipping vehicles with extra safety features..

[quote]I am looking at a holiday for 2 weeks in French Polynesia. It's a toss up on Bora Bora ,Tahiti or Moorea. I only know what the tourist brochures tell me but would like hear it from someone who has been to either of these islands[/quote]

Black market jobs in Australia (11/25/2011)
|
Dont do it. I mean, yes, you could do it, but they are pretty strict on rules here. Those jobs are harder to find as well. Plus, you would have no rights if they decided not to pay you one day. Why not just get the Work holiday visa like everyone else?.

What do you know about Western Australia? (11/25/2011)
|
WA is definitely worth visiting sooner than later. At the moment it is still very remote, so I suggest you enjoy it while you can. The place has so much diversity from the coral reefs, to the outback, to Broome. It also has great history.
As well, there is a lot of money here in Perth. Lots of millionaires and lots of mining jobs, so it is only a matter of time before it gets built up. Thats what happens when you pour money into a region....

Sydney - Perth...where to start!!??!?! (11/25/2011)
|
I know it's an old thread, but the question is pretty valid. After having been to both in 2011, I would recommend Perth. It is less expensive and everyone goes to Sydney. Be different.
I also think sydney people are the type who think that the world revolves around Sydney. Like it is the only city that matters. Perth is so much more down to earth.
And there is so much to see in WA..

Tasmania as vacation destination? (11/22/2011)
|
Tasmania only became a place I wanted to visit lately due to other people raving about how amazing it was. Particularly, I was at a hotel, and an Irishman also staying there had just been to Tasmania for three weeks on a tour that did a circle of the island. He said it was the best place he'd been south of the Equator... course I wonder if he'd been to Bali..

Australia/NewZealand/Fiji? (09/29/2011)
|
I think you need to give yourself plenty of time to explore NZ if you go... a week would be really difficult.. you could have fun on one of the islands for a week, but both would be a stretch. And you don't want to just pass by the North Isle just because the South Isle has so many big name attractions, (Queenstown, the Southern Alps, Fiordland etc)... Auckland and further north is full of really cool jungle and amazing beaches and world class diving. And you can "duneboard" up at Cape Reinga, ...

The Two Tims at the Henley on Todd (08/28/2011)
|
These boys are at it again in the fourth and last instalment of their reports on Festival Territory. Watch them chat to vikings and pirates, run through the sands of the dry Todd River and crew a battle boat bristling with mortars and high-pressure water cannons.
