Questions NZ Travel
"dave" wrote in message
... 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-- |

Snorkeling around Brisbane???

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. You might also consider Flinders Reef, which is an easy day trip from BNE. There's a good wee link here http://www.esperancestar.com.au/dive...ef.asp?did=536 cheers BrianM --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

Is it expensive for Americans to travel in Australia??
Australia isn't as expensive as Europe, but it is still quite
expensive to travel and for accommodation. Food is fairly cheap depending on where you eat. 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-- |

OK, in the Murmurs web forum (Community) General area there is a thread on Oz that said that Kathryn Rose, snip who is Sarah's new backup singer, let it out on her web site that there would be an Australian tour this May after the Juno Awards I didn't see this dates on Murmurs but someone just posted them to FTE mailing list saying they were from Murmurs : Sat 22 May Brisbane Sun 23 May Sydney Thu 27 May Melbourne Sun 30 May Perth Wed Jun 2th Adelaide Fri Jun 4th Christ Church NZ Mon Jun 7th Auckland For those of you in Australia or New Zealand you are in for a real treat since though she is excellent on CD she and her band are even better live, so catch her if you can though she spits a lot so front row seats are no good (just kidding).
