Hi Judes

I have booked for November 13th, it's going to be a fantastic tour from Cities such as Sydney Melbourne Cairns and Perth to the beautiful outback of Ayers Rock and Alice springs, many included excursions such as a day on a catamaran to the great barrier reef and many exciting optional tours, mainly fly between cities with two seperate coach travel days, alice springs to ayers rock and from sydney to melbourne broken up by a night in Canberra

we fly british airways to singapore then on qantas to perth returning from melbourne via dubai

the age range can vary from around the thirties to eighty and i'll be 55 by then, you'll get on with all, you will have your own room and have your own time whenever you wish or have company at any time, i think it will be a fantastic tour and i'm sure others who have done this tour can tell you much more

anything else you need to know just ask

regards

Dave

Hello Judes,

I was a fit 69 when I did this holiday last year and had a fabulous time, even tried scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. The vast areas and contrast between the west coast, centre and east coast was so interesting. Pick you time carefully - I went in February which is their autumn and the weather on the east coast was not good. Their spring is much better but do avoid summer, usually too hot!

Whenever you go you will have truly memorable holiday, highly recommended.

Hi Judes,

I did Amazing Australia with pre tour Singapore last October with New Zealand add on afterwards. The weather was fine and not to hot except in Alice Springs we had temperatures of around 34/35 degrees. One days rain in Perth and only one day in Melbourne. So not bad for temperatures and weather in October.

I am 63, our group in Australia was between 45 and 70 years of age. A good range and everyone got along with each other.

The best bits for me were Ayres Rock, The Kuranda Railway trip in Cairns along with the Barrier reef as DavidG says. Melbourne was fantastic with visiting the MCG ( Cricket) and trams around Melbourne. Did not like Sydney for some reason but enjoyed seeing the Bridge and Harbour along with the Opera house.

Have a good trip and enjoy your holiday.

Regards

Eric.

I did the 20 day Australia tour with JY in October 2011. Great holiday and loads to see and do including Scubadoo on the Great Barrier Reef, helicopter flight over the outback and probably the highlight for me was climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge. Fantastic country, fellow travleers and overall holiday experience. I enjoyed it so much have done 2 more JY holidays since - China and Peru.

Possibly Brazil ans Argentina next year although I really want to get to Japan.

Go for it and have fun ............... Pete

I went on the tour to Australia in Nov 2011 and it was truly amazing! I wish I was going again this year! The whole group were lovely ranging in ages from late 20s to late 70s so a real mix of ages. I am mid 60s and the majority were probably people in their mid 50s to 60s so you will be fine! Book it now! You won't regret the decision. Enjoy! Jules

I lived in Australia for 6 years, mainly in Sydney (its a Fantastic City!!!!), though I have also travelled all over this great country and experienced a lot of the excursions on this trip. Any tips you want to know about any particular areas, just ask.
