Hi again,

Thanks for your answers.
We only have december and maybe the first week of january.
But is it mostly the east-coast thats crowded ?
When i first went to AU i was told that if one only has a month to see AU
you should choose the east-coast.

But Australia is a big place so what about Darwin, and the south-west
coast ? is it possible to see the sights here, like kakadue, Ayers, Uluru,
and what else? on a month without spending most of the time in a bus or a
plane?
And if so can somebody recomend a good route ?

Thanks Brian


Hi Brian

Okay, you've got a month and it's December/January. Some of the other
posters may have put you off - it can be a great time to visit, you just
need to plan a little; particularly bookings in coastal holiday regions.

On itineraries, that's difficult without knowing your interests, but at
that time of year I'd look at the South-East - the coastal arc between
Adelaide and Brisbane. There is a lot of country and an enormous variety
in that arc, so give us an idea of your interests - cities, bush,
beaches, vineyards, villages or all of the above. I travel that region
for a couple of months every year at that time and enjoy it immensely.

At that time of year, it's probably better to stay south of Bundaberg.

If you post your interests there a lots of people here to help - also
whether you want to drive, fly, bus, rail or a combination. I can't
answer personally for a while (off to Fiji tomorrow) but I'll be back in
a couple of weeks.


Cheers, Alan
