Going to be in Adelaide...
Hi All -
Just found out I will be working on a consulting engagement for 5-7 weeks in Adelaide beginning the first of February. Obviously, never having been to Australia before, I want to mix in as much sightseeing as possible. I am a certified diver, so I definitely want to do some diving along the Barrier Reef. Any suggestions for local dive shops would be much appreciated. Plus the best beaches to hit for scenery and fun? I'd also like to dedicate a weekend to getting out into the Outback and hiking, roughing it, etc in the Australian "wilderness". Is it realistic that I can find weekend trips out of Adelaide? Any tours I should look at? I also want to visit the wine country, so any suggestions of areas or tours would be much appreciated. Thanks - Jen |

I've heard alot about the dive packages that include cage interaction with
Great Whites... Are they available in the Summer months? Can they be arranged over a weekend as opposed to the 5-7 day trips I've heard about? Thanks - Jen |

Qantas do limited direct flights otherwise it can be up to a 6 hour flight with stops in Sydney or Brisbane. |

Diving can be done off the Noarlunga reef
just in southern suburbs of Adelaide (NO Coral though) try "googling" for dive shops in Adelaide. Lots of day a nd half day toursto all the touristy spots. Places like Flinders Ranges Kangaroo Island, you can get from one day up to week tours. try http://www.sashorts.com.au/home.asp or "google" for Kangaroo Island and many sites come up. regards Jimbo -- Please reply to the list as my email is a dummy address "Jennifer" wrote in message ...
