There is an airport serving the Gold Coast at Coolangatta. Regards David Bennetts |

Bus or train for Brisbane to Gold Coast. Air for other connections!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I want to spend around 10 days in Australia (vacationing between a business tour). There are several packages offered by Cox&Kings, Thomas Cook etc. I was wondering on either choosing one of them or travel by myself. What do you ppl suggest?. If anybody has taken these tours, feedback will be gr8ly appreciated. Thanks, Bfn, Ram "Sriram Murthy" wrote in message news:1117823325.217263@sj-nntpcache-5...

But, if you've only got ten days you haven't realised just how big this island continent is. I'd recommend you pick just a couple, or three at the most. At that time of year I'd pick Sydney, Gold Coast district, including the hinterland and Northern NSW (I'm biased, I liver there), and maybe Cairns. A lot would depend on your flight arrangements; for example if you have to fly in and out via a capital city, It makes Cairns a little awkward. But try to allow at least 3 or 4 days in each location. How are you getting to and from Oz? Cheers, Alan, Australia |

If anybody has taken these tours, feedback will be gr8ly appreciated. If you're happy to follow the horde and be surrounded by your fellow tourists all the time, go for the tour. If you're a bit more individual-minded, plan your own route and go for it alone - 10 days should hardly be cause for loneliness ;-). I usually find that tours restrict me and I can relax more when I'm my own master. R -- For contact details, please see www.ralphholz.de. |

From your post, it appears you intend doing all those
places in just August, If only one month then fly between them so you have time to look around those places. If you are staying longer, be a bit more specific of times in each place and overall so we can be more specific in the answers.
