A few years ago I went on a three week tour of the east coast of Australia. We started in Sydney and I forget where we ended.
The tour was a blast. The weather was amazing and the food was great. They have a wierd type of cow in Australia that has floppy ears. Well it tastes delicious. I stayed with a host family for a weekend and they made the best steak. We also went to the zoo, which was run by donations.
The beaches were amazing. Just a bit high in sodium though. It was always fun getting your pants wet then getting in trouble with the tour guide.
The shopping was one of the best features for me. The price was what you see is what you pay so you didn't have to bring along a handy little calculator to see how much you were paying with taxes.
Back to the food again. There were fruit stands all over and there were tons of fruits that were $.50 there but would be $5 here. My favorite was the star fruit.
The hotels were superb. They were so nice and comfy. Even the pull out beds were nice, though a little loud. The insides were so colorful and creative while the food was amazing.
Australia was amazing and I definately recommend the visit. It's worth it.
Pros: Food, Shopping, Hotels
Cons:
