Birthday Experience
It's my birthday at the beginning of August and I really don't want to have it in Cairns. Happy to spend a week or so away and money isn't a problem. Any ideas?
(don't want a massively long flight and I don't like 'resort style' holidays) One thing I was thinking about was possibly flying down to Port Lincoln and doing the great white diving. Has anyone done it? |

I've done most of Australia really - although certainly NT or the Kimberley would be a nice change. Not been to Tassie though? Or Norfolk island if anyone has been there?

If you like walking/hiking - unspoilt scenery - real peace and tranquility, and possibly the best landscapes in the world, go to Tassie, you won't regret it.:wub: |

Re: Birthday Experience
Bay of Islands - New Zealand? Stunning and amazing walks etc.
Queenstown - Skiing? Great Ocean Road, Victoria - great time to visit as quiet and you could do a few days in Melbourne shopping and eating. Can recommend some fabulous places to eat. As Polly said Tasmania - Bay of Fires |

Medium range to chilly. Ideally I'd like to be wearing a coat and sunglasses.

Re: Birthday Experience
You don't need to leave Australia to go skiing. Go to the Southern Highlnds, then you can also take in city and wine areas. If you make it a 2 centre you could come to Sydney and go whale watching or do stuff in the city.
I've yet to get out of Sydney apart from a day trip to the blue mountains, and I've been here nearly 3 years. Wish I had the money, but there are quite a few things to do here. |
