Um, so... I just bought a ticket to Sydney for August 7th! I'm going to Australia, baby!

Tickets were dirt cheap, otherwise I never would've dreamed of going. Admittedly this puts my whole "stay in Kochi and spend no money until I leave" plan out the window, but who cares?! This is Australia we're talking about! I may never have the chance to ( Read more... )

yay, travel

That sounds like fun! I hope you have a great time ^__^

Cheap Jetstar flights ftw!

You're not missing anything at Australia Zoo, btw: it's a tourist trap in the middle of nowhere, with a few crocodiles in concrete pens and a zillion overpriced merchandise stalls. For a real zoo, you're much better off in Sydney!

Good to know. Thanks! I hear all the action's in Sydney anyway. :)

figgybee June 23 2009, 12:12:35 UTC

Well, I wouldn't go that far. :P

Where would all the action be then? I'm open to suggestions, Mr. Aussie. ;)

Just as long as it's around the general vicinity of Sydney. We have six full days.

Don't scare me like that you crazy man! I almost had a heart attack. We'll spend most of our time in Sydney. Might not get down to Melbourne.

w00t!!! you`re going after all! :D

i didn`t spend lots of time in Sydney to be able to give you a lot advice from experience, but i did look into some day trips outside of Sydney myself. if i remember correctly, a lot of it is mentioned in the guidebook you have. did i mark that poor book up? i can`t remember. ^^;;; you`re free to have mine as well, which has highlights all over the place.

i wish i had had time and money to go to Melbourne. :[

Melbourne is my home city!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so you need to go Lygon street for the best Italian ever, and I can totally give you the names of a few people to guide you around if you like. Sydney is ok, but Melbourne is awesome. Make sure you go to the Dandenongs, Grampians, Mornington Peninsular or The great ocean road <3

I wish I was going back home *cries*
