Resorts in Australia

wrote:
Hello,
We are planning our honeymoon in Australia in April-May 2007. We will
be doing some travelling around and then would like to spend one week
in a resort on the Great Barrier. We are looking for a nice resort,
small island, quiet place, with a diving club. Green island is said to
be a "day trip" island, Hayman seems big with lots of people... Could
anyone advice us on a nice place to stay? My boyfriend dives so it is
important that there is a good diving club. For information, we went to
the Maldives (Ari Beach) a few years ago and are looking for this type
of place. Any help or advices would be good. Thank you all !


Dont miss Tasmania and the West Coast

It IS Magic

Having been to Hayman and Green Islands, I would give them both a miss.
They are both very expensive for what they offer. If you both were
scuba divers I would recommend you going on a dive cruise for 3 days or
so and then having a few days at a resort on the mainland coast eg Port
Douglas. I would advise you go to FNQ (far North Queensland) because
you will have guaranteed hot weather and the diving is better. If you
have never dived before, I would recommend you get your PADI before you
go and join your hubby on the GBR - you will have a majic time.

Thank you all for the information !! We have finally decided to go to
Orpheus Island, I hope it will be a good choice..

We will be going to Sydney, then driving down to Melbourne, then on to
Alice Springs and Ayers Rocks, then Port Douglas, and then the resort.
And on our way back to Europe (we live in Spain), a stop over in
Singapore for 2 days. Can't wait to discover Australia, although I
have to admit I am kind of concerned about sharks, jelly-fish, snakes
and spiders (in Alice Spring...).

Sharks, snakes, spiders, jellies,,
prefer to eat American tourists
Spaniards should be OK

seriously there are millions of tourists and few injuries statistically you
are OK

There's this peaceful, "honeymoon-like" resort just north of Sydney.
It's just a very short drive north of Sydney. It's Squid's Ink Hotel.
It's a resort just right for a relaxing vacation with your sweetheart.


happy honeymoon!
