Hi Sylvia

I've been to Australia a few times, once with JY, then of my own accord .

It's a really great country, very friendly people, and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Sarah Wrighton (? surname) is the tour manager on a lot of the Australia trips, and she is really, really good, but whoever you have as tour manager I'm sure they will be wonderful.

If you've any specific questions, I'll try to answer them.

What a great tour you have choosen, I have been to Australia in 2007 it is an amazing country with lots to see and do. This was not with JY. Stuart mentions a manager called Sarah she was the manager on the Hkg and Nz tour I did in January 2012, if you get her you will have fun.

If there is anything I might be able to help with just ask.

I have my 9th JY tour booked for 2013, so have lots of tips and hints to pass on if and when they are needed.

You will be fine I am sure, you will have a great time and many laughs along the way.

I went on this holiday with JY this March and you will have a marvellous holiday. A lot of travelling - I never realised Australia was so big - but so many different experiences from sheep shearing to a boat trip round Sydney Harbour. Australia is rather expensive although the exchange rate has improved slightly since March. Have a great time!

Took the JY Australia trip in October 2011 - my first JY holiday. All I can say is it was amazing and exceeded any expectations I had. We too had Sarah as a tour manager and she was great - she really looked after us and made sure we had all the details and any support we needed.

Australia was fabulous with so much to do - yes there are some early starts (03:30 in Cairns comes to mind) but it is well worth every moment with so many highligts - Sydney bridge climb, Ulura at sunset and sunrise, scubdoo diving on the Great Barrier Reef, a helicopter filght over the outback and just about everything else.

The group was great and everybody was very friendly and supportive so much that I loved the overall experience and went to China with JY in 2012 and have booked for Peru in 2013.

My overall advice - go and enjoy the holiday and I'm sure your travelling companions will be great.

Go and enjoy it - I certainly did !!!!!!

Hi Derek sounds like you are a seasoned traveller. I asked Craig when I booked how many were going.. 2 weeks ago there were 7 of us. May be some more late bookers but it looks like it is going to be a small group. I don't know how many of these are doing the Singapore add on. Is this at the beginning or end of the trip? if it is at the beginning then I look forward to meeting you in Perth. No need to ask how you rate this company.. ... 15 trips says it all.

I am also booked on this holiday with Singapore add on. Would be interested in feedback from anyone else who has done this and the excursions available during our time in Singapore.
