jimmaw Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 so my girl friends mother just got a job in austraila working for the government on the barrier reef, she's an oceanographer. any ways we now have the option to go there for two weeks instead of o her fathers in amsterdamn. as badly as i wanna go to amsterdamn i think the austraila christmas is definitely the better call. i bring this up cause i know there are a few members on the forum that live there and i wanna know what to expect down there. will be around melbourne most of the time but will be there for two weeks so plently of time to explore. any thoughts?

JUDGE Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 My cousin went to Australia for work, she was to be there for three months. She finished her contract and ended up staying for three years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Down Under, definitely. If you end up on the West Coast let me know, there are a few of us on here, I'm sure we can organise a weekender up the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 +1 Australia. Hit up Amsterdam in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Oz all the way, especially if she's working the reef, that would be an impressive thing to see first hand. Why go to Amsterdam unless you are a pot head, plan to buy a prostitute or are a chocohalic....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, if confined to the east coast, check the Australian thread, there are quite a few over there too, I'm sure they wouldn't mind taking you out for a run, especially Cyril, if he gets his beast on the road by then (3.8L V6 conversion in a WD21). And what to expect, HOT HOT HOT, especially over Xmas. Edited July 2, 2009 by DavefromOZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Deffinatly OZ Mate , The East Coast is awesome , but if your stuck in Melbourne try and get to the High Country for a look . But if you manage to travel the 1000klm NE to Newcastle we'll go for a play at Stockton beach which is 10mins from me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrish Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I've always wanted to visit Australia- Cairns or Brisbane (I'm a water kind of guy). If I were to ever move out of the States then Australia is where I would go- without a doubt. A two week trip to Australia- I'd jump all over that!

A two week trip to Australia- I'd jump all over that! if water is youre option. scuba is the way to go. i swam with the whales. dived the whitsundays. great kepple, and some local spots to. its definatly an experience that every one should try. for 2 weekends out of youre life. youre licenced to dive forever. im glad i done it and its something that should be looked into. basic gear is all thats needed and rest can be hired from dive shops everywhere. and then again we aussies would jump at a trip anywhere overseas to.
