How Long to stay in Australia ?
I mean I want to go as a tourist to Australia. I would like to feel something of Ozi lifestyle on the spot and also to investigate country a little bit. I think one month is quite enough.
I would put my base in Sydney. Live there for about ten days, then move for Melbourne (2 days), Adelaide (2 days), Perth (3 days). I would like also to make short trip to Brisbane.
What do you say, any ohter suggestions ? TIA !

If you want to "investigate" .. I can't see how you're going to do it in one month. Minus a week of your month for completely getting over your jetlag (I'm assuming you're coming from the UK) .
A month is too short to see all of those places, and do everything. If you really do want the tourist view "been there, bought bought the T-shirt" mode and nothing else .. ok a month is fine, but you're not going to see much of Australia that way.
cheers

voted, or conducted by whom?
different polls and studies conducted by different bodies (whether it's time magazine, or frequent flyer club, or the pope himself
) different results. I've actually seen Switzerland, France, London Singapore etc etc .. most liveable as well.
