Don't put off your visit to Australia

I waited over 20 years to visit Australia. My dream vacation, and I finally went. Why did I wait so long? I loved it and can't wait to go back! 22  out of 22 found this valuable. Do you?

20yrs is a long time!! but it's good to hear that you eventually did go :-)
My trip came pretty spontaneously - even though it took a year to plan.
I can't wait to go back as well!!

I agree. I read about it for years and never thought I would one day visit. Now I am looking at going again for the 5th time. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

We visited Perth, Fremantle, and Rottnest Island in Western Australia, then spent time in NSW "Sidney", and the Hunter Valley for wine tasteing. It will be nice and hot when you go. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Thank you so much. I'm planning my Snorkeling Senior dream trip and your info on Sydney was great. I now know where to eat, to take a ferry, and not miss the gardens. I'm trying to find a good independent travel agent to book my trip. I'll be on the reef and in the Cains/Brisban area and onto New Zealand. It is great to be retired!

Thanks for the reply. We are booked for New Zealand, Australia and Figi. I can't believe we are going Nov. 3. We found an Aussie Specialist About Australia, and he really worked an independent trip for us. Our highlight will be four nights on Heron IS where I will realize my dream and snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Any "must do's" or eating suggestions/restaurants/tours will be appreciated!!! I wonder if they wear white shoes since it is summer??? Do you find this valuable?
