I went on this tour last year and you are in for a wonderful holiday. Because Australia is so vast you will have a wide range of experiences. From clean, modern Perth, to the outback of Alice Springs to tropical forests on the east coast. Highlight - scuba diving on the Great Barrier reef! Two tips; Australia is expensive so take plenty of money and drink as much water as possible.

Have a great holiday.

I to have done Australia....love the country and the people.

I loved Ayres Rock, I went on a helicopter flight over Ayres Rock and the Olgas just amazing.

It's a long way to go but so worth it, make sure yo see and do all you can as you might never go back that way again. I loved Sydney as well, but for me it was all about the ROCK

Have a great time

Thanks Cindy, can't wait, looking forward to seeing the Rock, quite fancy that helicopter, i shall slip in as much as i can, any tips and recommendations very much appreciated, all the best Dave

We all got very excited when we saw our first kangaroo but eventually got rather blase as we did see a lot. Saw quite a few koalas as well. Whilst it does add to the cost, I strongly recommend going on as many optional tours as possible - it is a very long way to go to miss out on a worthwhile trip, they are all good.

If budget allows, Hong Kong add-on highly recommended. Fascinating place, a lot to see and cheap!

Whatever you decide you will have a holiday to remember.

David.
