Kakadu or Dunk Island
I am interested in taking one of two tours offered by APT. Both are of
the same number of days, but one goes to Kakadu and not Dunk Island and the other one goes to Dunk Island, but not Kakadu. Which one would you knowledgeable people suggest? The remainder of the itinerary is the same. |

As it turns out I may be able to do both. APT has similar tours leaving a week apart. It is possible I can separate from my tour in Cairns and fly to Dunk Island, stay there a week and hook up with the following tour in Cairns when it arrives. One more question if you don't mind? An acquaintance of mine traveled to Australia and loved it, but said Alice Springs and Ayers Rock were a bit underwhelming and wished he had omitted that part of his trip and spent more time elsewhere. Your opinion? Regards, Bob |

Bob,
you could also get a bus from Cairns or even drive a hire car down to Mission Beach and then get the water taxi from there Im not fussed on Alice, however as an aussie it took me 42 years to get to experience Ayers Rock, the Olgas and Kings Canyon. I spent a week there ( most os toursits spend a night and a day) and loved every minute of it.. I think it is awesome! cheers Jeff "Bob Smith" wrote in message ...

Your opinion? Regards, Bob btw Bob, there are other islands off Cairns if you don;t want to go to the trouble of getting yourself to Dunk Is Green Island is a beautiful coral cay on the outer Great Barrier Reef, fantastic snorkelling, can be expensive to stay on, however you can do a day trip from Cairns. Fitzroy Island is also close to Cairns, not a 5* resort but very laid back and relaxed, good snorkelling... also day trips avialable Franklands Islands are well worth a day trip from Cairns, no accomodation,,, uninhabited national park islands , good reef, great snorkelling, great day out. cheers Jeff |
