How much money do i need to travel Australia for 7 months? (12/29/2011)

Travelling in New Zealand with Hire and Rental Campervan (12/27/2011)
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.

Bora Bora, Tahiti or Moorea (12/19/2011)
[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] While I've never been there yet, I've been looking into traveling to FP for several months now as it is where my fiance and I plan to go for our honeymoon. Based on everything I've read on just about every forum from experienced travelers who have ...


Best Beach to Spot Surfers (12/18/2011)
Byron Bay and Noosa at first point when its cranking. You pretty much surf right along the path and point. Some of the best photography on surfing has come from these points..


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..


I want to surf!! :D (11/16/2011)
I vote for Noosa, as well. Great place to learn surfing. My husband has been there, he can confirm that info..

What It's really Like to Live in Brisbane, Australia (10/17/2011)
This is a helpful post! I love learning about new locations in depth like that! What is the social scene like in Brisbane? Lots of music? Art? Theatre? All of the above? Has it got a conservative or liberal vibe?.


Fraser Island (10/03/2011)

Northern Territory - any good? (10/03/2011)
Im heading up to Darwin in a few months and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what to see/do? im there ffor 2-3 weeks and i have a car. Apparently wangi falls is a must see?? Also, im quite into my action sports so is there any fun new sports i can attempt?.


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)

Snorkeler Left At Barrier Reef By Tour Company (06/30/2011)
The guy is alive. He was able to swim to another boat. It's amazing how different the comments are on the Yahoo site and then the Cairns Blog. :shock: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/american-tourist-left-great-reef-tour-boat-company-170022854.html http://www.cairnsblog.net/2011/06/abandoned-reef-tourist-shunted-and.html I would still love to visit Australia one day.
