Down Under
in Travel
We are heading to Australia from US in December of this year for an anniversary trip. We plan to see Sydney, Melbourne, Ayers Rock and Cairns. We've read a few travel books with recommendations, but I also wanted to see what people here had to say. Any places or adventures not to miss? Any and all thoughts and suggestions are appreciated!
Re: Down Under
Sounds similar to what I did 12 years ago ... Cairns for 2 weeks, then Alice Springs/Ayers Rock, Darwin and Sidney.
Cairns: I enjoyed taking the reef teach class in town before doing a snorkel day trip on a catamaran. They teach you about the sea life you will see on dives in the area. Did a day trip to see the rainforest area, platapus, etc. Museum in Cairns on aborigibal culture is interesting and informative.
Alice Springs: Ayers Rock (i hiked around it instead of climbing it. i was concerned about the incline and the aboriginals prefer we not climb it as it is sacred to them.) Hike in Kings Canyon. I took a backpacker trip (3 days) where you camp out under the stars. They provide tranportation, guide, food and you can rent a sleeping bag.
Sidney: I only had one full day there. I got the unlimited off-on bus/trolly ticket and saw as much as I could but it was a drizzily day. Tour of the Opera house, The Rocks (original settlement area).
