Australia Wrote:That will be so much fun. Some of the most fun I've had travelling is in Australia. I think its because its so damn big you never run into another tourist (not sure if i can be a tourist in my own country but you know what i mean). Central Australia is amazing. Did Kakadu and all that too. How you doing it? Alone or with friends? Renting a vehicle or going on a tour bus type thing?
Seeing as its still a fair way off, haven't planned the what's and who withs yet... Possibly on my own and going with a tour group (Contiki style.. although Contiki only seem to do North and East coasts for up to 25 days).
Will probs spend a month with family I've got in Perth. Also got some other Aussie contacts I wouldn't mind visiting too.
Am basing on what holiday from work I can accumulate by 2011... which I'll have 42 to use (26 days annual, 15 days banked, 1 days bonus for length of service - 5 yrs in 2011)... so that'll give me 2 months, and take the 3rd month as unpaid leave.
