When was your first trip to Australia?
When I was born here!
Why did you move to Australia?
See answer above!
Your favourite places to visit :
Cairns, Cairns, Cairns, and more Cairns! Byron bay, Noosa, basically anywhere on the east coast of Australia, but do have a thing for Queensland.
If you only had 4 weeks holiday in Australia, what would you recommend?
It has to be the east coast of Australia! I would spend about five days in Sydney, exploring this amazing city, the beaches, the beer, and all the fun stuff that Sydney has to offer. Then I would drive up to the Newcastle area and visit some of my favourite beaches (but I am not going to tell you, grab a map and see for yourself!).
The next stop would be Port Macquaire and check out the Koala hospital and the beaches, fantastic! The hit the following towns and bars, Coffs Harbour (make sure you see the BIG BANANA), Byron bay, Nimbin, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Fraser island , Harvey Bay (amazing place for whale watching), Bundaberg for the Rum, Airlie beach, Mission Beach, and of course Cairns!
Any tips for travellers coming to Australia?
Buy your food at Coles or Woolworths supermarket, and grab the money off coupons to get cheap petrol.
Where do you go on holiday?
Cairns, Cairns, Cairns, Darwin, Japan, London and anywhere in Queensland!
What adventures or trips are you planning for the next two years?
Take the Ghan train from Adelaide to Darwin, and then fly to beautiful Perth. After chilling out in Perth, then take the Indian Pacific train back to Sydney. Also want to take a campervan or station wagon to Tasmania and tour this fantastic state by taking the ferry (Spirit of Tasmania) from Melbourne to Tasmania.
As you are an Australian, when was your first trip to Europe?
After Dinosaurs became extinct, I decide to fly to London in 1967 and ended up working in Carnaby Street in London selling clothes to the Beatles! Also went to George Best's nightclub in Manchester one night and the next morning I ended up in Dover to take the ferry to Europe! I travelled around in an old Austen car and visited France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Andorra, Austria, Italy and some more places.
