...or anyone who wants to go to Australia (lol)...

MrBliss posted these stunning, amazing photos of some islands right off the mainland!!



I've decided that this is my destination after the first of the year... ...Since it's so close to Australia, I'm trying to figure out if I want to spend a few moments there as well.

So, if you live in Australia, tell me:

1) Where should I go?
2) What should I do?
3) Who should I see?

Or...should I just skip it altogether and concentrate on the islands??

Dammit, when does the sun rise in Australia??...

The sun rises in the morning...doofus.

I would visit Memphublumittystootiyusimumnierickka if I were you, lovely place...

Are these part of the Whitsunday Islands? they look very much like it. I'd recommend taking it very slowly all the way up (or down) the east coast from Tasmania (which is one of the most beautiful and underrated parts of Australia) take a couple of weeks at least to see Tassie, then make your way north all the way up to Cooktown in Queensland. I'd allow at least 2 or 21/2 months for the whole thing. Believe it or not you could do it quite cheaply travelling by bus or train. If you're not afraid of travel and have the time, that's the best way to see all the east coast. Also, make sure you ask locals when you're over here the best places to stay, eat and see coz it's like anywhere in the world in that local knowledge is the best way to get to know a place. The east coast is set up for backpackers,and it's the cheapest, easiest and most fun way to see it. I did it at the beginning of the year and it was awesome. I'll do it all again, too, one day soon.

Hope that helps!!!

Um, I'm thinkin' about a week, tops...lol

Still, I'm loving everything else you've said... (and yes, it's Whitsunday Islands...are they as beautiful as they appear in these photos??...)

Isn't it??...

Byron said:

very!

Why don't you visit Sydney as well.

althom said:

How far would I have to travel to visit both Sidney and the islands pictured above??...

Or The Blue Mountains which is only a hour away from Sydney.

Byron said:

That would be a plane trip. Too far by car.
Plane would probably take you 1 1/2 hours.

althom said:

OMFG...

althom said:

That's extremely doable...

You need a map to see where everything is.

So, the islands are up north above Australia then??...(I like that Sidney and Brisbane appear so close to one antother...!!)...

Byron said:

If you go to Sydney...I can drive up there from Canberra.

althom said:

You mean...???...lol...Hold up. You mean fly into Canberra, and drive into Sydney??...or the other way around in reverse??..

Byron said:

I can see you getting lost mate.
I ment if YOU fly into Sydney and I drive up to Sydney.

althom said:

Holy crap.. I just re-read your past post..lol I getcha now.. I think that would be extremely cool.

Byron said:

I'm only a 3 hour drive from Sydney.

althom said:

Keep January open...

Byron said:

OK!
