Depends on your interest, but for me I think it's worth visiting.

oohhh ok. Fresh sushi sounds good! Alrite....thanks for the suggestions.

melbourne u can visit
-Vic Market
- Melbourne Museum ( i am amazed by the museum) i am not a museum person.. but surely can waste time there

- Philip Island ( penguin)
- Ballarat -( I say worth going)

You must definitely try the food in Sydney! Go to campsie for their Korean BBQ and Vietnamese Beef Noodles! Burwood for their cha seiw /seiw yuk / seiw pai kuat rice! Hmm...... Dim Sum is really good too! Haven't been there in a couple of years though, so can't tell you the direct location.

If you wanna go clubbing, my fave club used to be Home in Darling Harbour. Attend Sublime on a friday night! Remember no heels though!

Hmm tourist spots, you can probably get from the various websites. Try to wonder into the suburbs though, there's really only so much you can see in central. Now's probably not such a good time to visit the beaches, getting chilly~! Brr~

Oh, you can check out the factory outlets too if you plan to do some shopping. Lots of cheap french connection at birkenhead pt

Have fun ya~ Hope I made sense! Let us know how it goes!

too many places to go....bring back a lot of memories....

If you have time..try to go for skiing too in south australia

whoa thanks dude. i was planning to visit the blue mountains...heard it is a really great place with some great cafes. Haha, u too recommended the fish market...i guess i'll make that a priority then...

Try to stay a nite in Blue Mountain..and you will know why it's call blue mountain.

fish market in sydney is the best...you can see people throwing fishes around and singing..in fact i'll be there this August for my chop extension of PR ship. You and arrive in fish market by tram...it;s onyl AUD 2 dollar....try the monorail too in sydney whole day only AUD 10, transport is the killer in aussie.

I'm planning a 12 days trip in sydney.. can you guys tell me more about blue mountain? the price and the tour package? thanks

Is cold that right

2 days ago
Melbourne weather went done to 2 C zzzz
crazy man

yeah it's pretty chilly. but well, if they can survive...hopefully i can. am looking forward to skiing...

the tour varies....best to hop on a bus and when u reach there look for a hotel...it's pretty safe in aussie..so ni worries mate'

alsree..tumpang your thread..

hojeff, i only have a day visit in blue mountain.. and there is tons of package available, so based on your experience which package will show me the best part of blue mountain? haha..

I was in Sydney last year and I bought a Day Tour package to the Blue Mountains at the Darling Harbour visitor centre and I was very pleased with it. I think the tour agency was called FJ tours or something. It was about $100 or so, can't quite remember. It included the transportation to Blue Mountains by shuttle, a buffet lunch, visits to other tourist spots on the way such as the Featherdale Wildlife Park (which I loved!), Echo Point and others as well as a return trip to Darling Harbour by cruise. The only additional thing we had to pay was for the rides at the Blue Mountains. I would highly recommend visiting Blue Mountains.

Paddy's Market is the best place to buy cheap souvenirs. We saw the same stuff that we bought there at double or triple the price in other places in Sydney! But you need to plan to slot them in because they only open on weekends.

The visitor centres are god-sent and are available everywhere. Just look for the yellow signboards. I bought my ticket combo at a cheap price for the Aquariym, Wildlife Centre and Sydney Tower + OzTrek. The Oztrek experience alone was quite worth the price of the entire combo but that could just be the kid in me saying that!

no problem.

i'll be in blue mountain with relatives. my cousin works in a hotel somewhere in that area, so she knows the place pretty well. has a apartment very near darling harbour. i heard there's a lindt cafe there that's great!!

i never took any tour package last time as i was staying there during my uni days...but if you only have a day to go...i suggest u travel early..it would be best if you can put up a nite there try out York FairMoount Resort...it's a very nice resort overlooking the Blue Mountain..else u can try Palias Royale or The Mount Heritage...wake up early and u will know it's call Blue Mountain....

for tour u can book into BCL tours...alot of packages to choose from..personally...the 4WD eco tour....

There're usually information booths around I think,those should help you figure what to do.

Loadsa ppl have mentioned loadsa stuff,so I'll just add MovieWorld into the list,or specifically the Superman Escape ride there. I mean,even if you're not too big a roller coster fan,you might as well experience it since you're there It's at Helensvale iirc,not too far from GoldCoast. (U can catch a bus frm GC)

Erm,are you into wine? Loadsa wine valleys around,but not too sure if it's viable for you to travel frm the places you're going. It's somewhere north of Adelaide iirc. Barossa valley and what nots. Good food and good wine there
Must try food...kangaroo steak? Haha seriously,when in the right hands,it can be pretty good
If you're into steak,look out for Hog's Breath. Not a fancy restaurant,just some cafe branch thingie,but they have awesome primes.
If you're around Surfers' Paradies (GC) you can eat at SeafoodMania. (just ask around) Kinda like fast seafood thing. Decent price,nice food,large portions

thanks for all the info man..will wake up early to catch the view..
