New Zealand would be a better trip, more compact and plenty more to see on a short trip with less travelling.
Well I dont want to go to Ayres rock now anyway ! ,was only listening to other people but it looks like the vote is in now to not go there ! So start in cairns onto Brisbane - Sydney but I have to meet a few friends in Melbourne too is this possible in my 2 weeks ?...
Very good snowboarding in New Zealand if U head over in our summer, on the South Island.New Zealand would be a better trip, more compact and plenty more to see on a short trip with less travelling.
What’s the other half’s opinion on you going to aus without herI was in the south island of New Zealand about 10 years ago it was'nt bad I suppose .what about flying into cairns and working down to Melbourne ....?
Went for 2 months in winter 2012/2013, mostly in Perth and did a week in Brisbane and a week in Sydney, went purely as a holiday and burnt every penny I’d earned between finishing college exams that year and late October and there wasn’t many days off at that.So did any of ye that have been in Australia have any regrets like ye "should I have stayed longer " etc or like if i dont go would i regret it later on do ye think ??..
I'd sooner give two weeks in Austria Switzerland and ItalyNot wanting to sound like a stick in the mud but Australia or NZ just never interested me even though I love traveling.
Firstly too far away so I couldn’t bear that much time in planes. I think it’s the fact that the two countries are relatively “new” in terms of their history and to me they just lack character.
I hear people referring to parts of NZ as being like Ireland - that’s enough of a reason for me not wanting to go there!
Heard of a lad who went drawing silage in NZ for 6 months or so and then came back to Ireland just in time for the silage season here.......definition of hell for me!!!!
My wife was in Australia and loved it but she also agreed that I wouldn’t like it. My cousin worked there and said they men were quite ignorant.
Anyway, not my scene, give me the States or Europe any day....
Carry on!!
Have you time? It wasnt long ago you didnt think you had time to have a baby!The first lad I was going to Australia with for 2 weeks has backed out so I have a friend in New Zealand that might meet me in Australia for the 2 weeks not sure will I still go ahead with it now or what ??..
How did you. Get on in Australia after the cowsWhat are some of the best countries/places lads have gone on holiday's too ?..
South Africa, travelled the garden route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth in a rented car. Went to Robben Island and saw Nelson Mandelas cell where was held for all those years. Did safaris and woke up in a house one morning with a monkey outside the window looking in while he ate bananas from a branch beside him. Probably the most memorable bit of abroad for me yet.What are some of the best countries/places lads have gone on holiday's too ?..
It's not just hot, some places haven't had a harvest for 3 years it's that dry.Kinda hot there right now, AVG temperature 41 degrees.
