3. I heard that solar – and it seems to take weeks for them to sort it out! I don’t understand what the issue is really – afterall, Bangkok, Singapore and HK have managed to open entirely new terminals or the whole new airport with very little disruption recently. My advice to anyone flying to southern England would be to fly into Paris and catch the high speed train or fly into Manchester!cialis

5. i have the exact same problem while you as to understand what to take as i can’t have an excessive amount of for that tour bus and so forth but then also i will need ample for 6 months as soon after Paint Sprayer darwin i’m declaring in the northern territory until all over june time! i suppose when travelling it is possible to have on exactly the same apparel yet again and again and purchase stuff along the way. that’s cool you need to do cricket professionally? what type of things will you be undertaking for any cricket placement aside from play cricket obviously!!

7. If you’re heading for Queensland (QLD – where I live) definately pack plenty of swimmers, and T-shirts and Shorts. Nobody really wears long pants in Summer as it’s way too hot and humid. Most people wear slip on shoes called “thongs” (funny name I know), in summer, or at least open shoes. We are a pretty laid back bunch, so casual clothes are the go everywhere except for clubs at night (smart casual needed). Even in winter in QLD you can get away with wearing shorts and Tshirts as the days can still get up to about 28 degrees celsius. Usually nights are aroung 8-9 degrees in Brisbane, getting warmer as you head up the coast to the Great Barrier Reef region. Hope this helps!

8. Just did the 2week contiki tour (beaches and reefs) it was cold so i’d advise anyone considering going in their winter bring a few hoodies and jeans when visiting the beach :)

9. Must go to the beaches!! If your going in summer (December – February) you MUST bring swimmers! I’d take at least two pairs.
   Also, if your not a confident swimmer and are going to a beach, please please make sure you listen to the lifeguards and stay in between the red and yellow flags. It’s tragic to see travelers trying to enjoy their visit and end up in an accident that could have been avoid by simply following the instructions.

10. PLACES TO VISIT: When in Sydney visit the blue mountains, Bondi beach, Manly beach and Palm Beach.
    When in Cairns do snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef (never to be forgotten).
    When in Brisbane visit Surfers Paradise and Wet ‘n’ Wild water park.

11. Advice for anyone going over to Aussie from a mild, moderate climate (like where I’m from, Ireland or England etc.) do not bring a hair straightner and only bring a hairdryer if your planning on staying in hostels etc. where they are not provided. I brought mine and it was just a waste of space it was to hot to bother.

13. i have the same dilemma as you as to know what to take as i can’t have too much for the tour bus etc but then also i need enough for 6 months as after darwin i am saying in the northern territory until around june time! i guess when travelling you can wear the same clothes again and again and buy stuff along the way. that’s cool you do cricket professionally? what kind of stuff will you be doing for a cricket placement apart from play cricket of course!!

15. Hi i am going to australia on my gap year from 27th jan 2010. decided to book the aussie explorer tour in march. hope other people are going then cos i have paid the full amount getting £89 off for doing it 6 months in advance but still i am a bit scared that people won’t be going then. anyway i don’t think it is werid you are doing a tour in your own country. it is huge over there plus so much diversity. I am from England so going over there with some family there etc i hardly ever see i am so so excited. Bit worried about money for the tour and budgeting all the extra activities etc. also the whole back pack thing. any help would be very much appreciated of how much to bring and also as i am out there for a month and a bit before. anyhow hope to have some feedback too!
