hi guy's

i know we go through flights over and over but..

we are validating october time but as we got the 136 rather than the 137 which we actually applied for we may as well 'do' australia.
so we hope to go to
not necessarily in any order-

perth (see friends)
adelaide (natch)
sydney (walk the bridge see the opera house)
uluru rock (can't get my mind round calling it after that black woman on star trek)
great barrier reef (obvious)

any idea's websites etc etc..

cheers

Quantas are doing a number of deals one of em allows you to have 2 stops in Oz I think its called the Outback fare, another allows more stops but I dont know whether that deal has expired (I think it was called the Walkabout fare).

For us to travel in April 2004 (after the 19th as the prices drop a hell of a lot) it was about £800 each but that included all taxes etc (sometimes they negelect to mention on these deals that you have to pay individual airport taxes for your stops in Oz).

We havent actually booked it yet so if you find any better deals then you will have to let me know.

Oh yeah these fares also allow stopovers in each direction i.e. Hong Kong one way Singapore the other. Can also do stop overs in the states but you cant mix and match with this fare...Ie stop in US on way there and Singapore on way back.

Hope this helps....
