Any suggestions for xmas hols?
Hi, My wife and I emigrated to Brisbane recently. We have been here 4 months and loving it. We are really looking forward to Xmas, as this will be the first time that we'll have sufficient time (2 weeks) off work to do some exploring. The question is......what do we do!!!! I am currently toying with two options, but I am very open to any suggestions. 1) Go south, stay a week or so in Sydney. I've been before years ago but my wife has not been more than an hour from Brisbane. I was thinking of showing her the docks, beaches etc... and celebrating new years eve watching the fireworks. 2) Go north, perhaps to see the reef. Isn't it going to be really humid and rainy at that time of year though? Not sure where to go exactly....long way to treck to Cairns. Its really important that we don't waste these two weeks (our marriage depends on it!!!!!!) Anybody got any suggestions? thanks in advance! Jay -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

I'd go south, stopping over in Nambucca Heads for a couple of days. Blue Dolpin motel has great views... And then defnitely do Sydney(book hotel for NYE right about NOW!), maybe travelling a bit inland on the way back to Brisbane... or checking out Port Stephens. Nothing really wrong about going north, the Whitsundays are always nice :-) But it's a place you can go anytime and there's really no reason to do that over the X-mas hols. Anette |

You really don't want to be in North Queensland in December, unless you are fond of lots of heat and humidity. It isn't always bad at Christmas, but it's often opressive. Go south, as others have suggested. An entire childhood of living in that area convinced me that I don't want to go to Qld between October and April, ever again :-) Geodyne |
