Snorkeling around Brisbane???
Clean water - Yes!!
Sharks - Yes! too. But not normally particularly aggressive. Netting and set lines at bathing beaches reduces the number I suspect! "4000 psi" wrote in message news:XjSZb.22121$o52.7773@fed1read02... are the waters pretty clean? how are the sharks? "A Mate" wrote in message u... Bribie Island ocean side - yes! Same for Moreton Island. The good breaks are also just half an hour further north on the Sunshine Coast - or at Duranbah etc on the southern Gold Coast. "4000 psi" wrote in message news:KwQZb.21106$o52.6120@fed1read02... any good breaks at those beaches as well? "Roger Martin" wrote in message ... "Darren" .*******s wrote in message ... Hi Everyone, In March I'm going to Australia for a holiday for 3 weeks. While I'm there I intend to do some snorkelling and I would like to teach my girlfriend how to snorkel. Can anyone recommend a beach around Brisbane that I can go to? Ideally I'm looking for a sandy beach with Very small waves. It dosen't have to be too intresting as I just need it for her to get used to the water while wearing a mask and snokel. The most important thing are the small waves. I'm hoping that we can go to the marine reserve in Moreton Bay, but before that I have to be able take her snorkelling off the mainland shore. Can anyone also tell me if there are box jellyfish around Brisbane at the moment. I don't think there are, but I'd like to check. Thanks in advance Darren Try Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island , nice sandy beaches, next to no jellyfish, quite a few pods of dolphins and the odd dugong. Just a sandy bottom though so its fairly boring. On calm days the Ocean Beach is ok. For something more interesting the wrecks on Moreton Island are really worth the visit, the area is sheltered and very good for first timers. Redcliffe has a beach which is cross between grit, mud and rocks. Any closer to Brisbane and the beaches get to be muddy and full of mangroves. Going South is similar. -- www.bribieisland4x4hire.com VW Kombi Camper Buy Backs Landcruiser Troopy - Toyota Hilux Crew Cab Mitsubishi Pajero - Landrover V8 Swag Camper --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

Is it expensive for Americans to travel in Australia??
Like Canada - in broad terms!
wrote in message om... Ok, I know that this is a subjective question. But I am trying to get a sense of whether the declining US dollar still lets you travel affordably in Australia. Perhaps a comparison would be useful. Is it as expensive as travelling in Europe? Or is it a little less expensive, say, like travelling in Canada? Thanks in advance for any help here! --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

Or is it a little less expensive, say, like travelling in Canada? Thanks in advance for any help here! Dunno. When I was working in the U.S. being paid U.S. wages*, I found Australia expensive compared to the U.S. when the AUD was trading at USD 0.80 (this was back in 1985). It was much better at USD 0.55 but now it'll be more than Canada if you don't live cheaply. * Disclaimer: I lived in Nevada and casino subsidies may have coloured my view of affordability of the U.S. --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

... Hi Karen, I too are planning a holiday to NZ but not until March/April of 2005. However I have found an excellent website that might be of some help to you. They have some great driving holidays outline in detail. Enjoy your trip. www.purenz.com You can check out my Blog at http://www.galleryvittoria.com/nzblog/. We're spending 2 years travelling around New Zealand. We just jump in the car and go somewhere we've heard about so its not a well structured tour. We're in Christchurch doing the South Island first. By March next year we should have some great recommendations. cheers Brooklyn --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |
