Subject: Weekend trips in NZ/Australia Author: Amanda Hook [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wed, Nov 17 2004, 20:52pm I've been looking through travel books for a while now, and I think I've narrowed down some of the places I'd like to see on weekends while we're over there. I was just wondering if anyone else was interested in the following places so that we could maybe begin thinking about which weekends to set aside and stuff: New Zealand: -Rotorua (people that I've talked to that have been on this trip before said this place is AMAZING) -Queenstown (very outdoorsy) -Auckland -Marlborough/Nelson (This is right at the tip of the South Island, so we could get here really easily) -Christchurch (apparently the train ride from the top of the South Island to this city is beautiful, so it might be cool to travel by train here) Australia: -Tasmania -Cairns, Queensland (access to the Great Barrier Reef and I think there's a rainforest?) -Ayers Rock/Outback (this is kind of far, but I think it would be worth the trouble to see it. There are flights and trains that go out there...I think it's too far for driving though, but who knows) Just hoping to find people to travel with on weekends:-) Let me know if any of these interest you as well!

[> Subject: yeah i am down Author: Sanders [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wed, Nov 17 2004, 21:52pm I have heard the same from past folks about Rotorua and would definately up for a vist there and also christchurch for NZ i have to look into the rest but I am sure they would be good times also, For australia definately count me infor Cairns, Queensland(anyone scuba certified, i dont know if mine will finish in time but if it does i would really like to scuba dive the GB reef). Ayers Rock/Outback is definate atop my list of places to checkout and driving i dont believe is feesable also, so it probably would be good to start looking into flights for that one.
