I'm definitely into the camping out under a big sky thing. I've been to
the high desert of Nevada and I just loved it. Camping was one of my
early thoughts once I'd decided to go to Oz for a holiday.
Coming from a small over crowded island, space is something I really
look forward too. And, I've just spend the best part of four hours in
traffic.
I don't mind 3 days on a train. I have all the time I need, apart from
the restrictions of my travel visa - I may be slightly short of funds
for a really long stay. I have A$10000 to spend for the whole trip,
that will be the limiting factor on how long I stay.
I do like the idea of using internal flights. I can't make my mind up
yet which way to do it. But it is nice to have some choices.
Probably the only place I need to visit is Coffs Harbours as I have a
mate there.
I quite fancy going to Coober Pedy. And, yep, got to go to Alice Springs.
I'm with you 100% on the great countryside, I'm not really that into
cities - once you've seen one you've seem them all imho.
One thing I'm not sure about is what flight arrangements I will use to
get to Oz. I want something open ended, I want my budget to be the
limiting factor not when I said I'd return. I was looking at round the
world tickets earlier, but from what you've said, I may not do it that
way, and just get a flight into Perth and one out of Brisbane and sort
the rest out as I need. |
