Evening Rob

I have a large case and a small cabin case.. usually take a medium but will be nice tp have a little more room on this one as it's a long trip! Although I think just you restrictions is 20kg weight so just worth checking.

Hi Dawn 

I won't be doing the Sydney harbour climb either. I'll probably do most of the others.

There is a helicopter tour in Australia and New Zealand. I read somewhere that we have to pay in cash for these trips.

Hi 

I am looking forward to the upcoming  trip to Australia.

I would be interested in the trip to Ramsay Street in Melbourne. Does anyone know the cost of this trip and how we organise it?

Hello.. the trip to Ramsey street (pine oak court) would really just be an Uber ride as it's just the street. I use Ubers a lot when I'm away and if on my own as I have no clue on public transport in unfamiliar places and find them easier to get places. The studio unfortunately no longer does tours. However Palm beach has recognisable places for home and away like the real 'surf club' 🙂. Also they do filming but mainly on Monday and Tuesday so we may be lucky but very unlikely.

Wow great so we have 4 of us. So glad I mentioned it. Look forward to hearing about the tram ride as that actually might be better if there is a few of us.. I'm sure we can go together 🙂 I am fortunate to know someone that works on neighbours and said I could have a tour. Lucky as they don't do offical ones now but unfortunately we are there at the weekend and the studio isn't open. So unless i can squeeze in before flying home o which is very unlikely! Gives me an excuse to go back and stay with them though 🙂

I'm not sure about a hair dryer it depends on weight of case! 🤣Mainly taking dresses as I can wear them a few times. Will probably have to do washing along the way in one hotel at least! Remember the bug spray.

Hi

I am from Leicestershire and am looking forward to meeting everyone on the forthcoming trip to Australia.

This will be my 1st Solo holiday.

I have chosen to do most of the optional excursions - including the climb of Sydney Harbour Bridge!

I hope to take advantage of all that Australia has to offer.

See you all at Heathrow 😀🇦🇺🦘

PS - looking at the weather for Sydney in early November, does anyone else think we may need a light jacket or jumper for evenings? 🙃

Hi all,

What is the helicopter ride that everyone is talking about on this site ?

Where is it - and what is the cost?  

I would be interested - but want to make dure I bring sufficient cash - as someone on this forum stated that this trip needs to be paid in cash.
