Have some friends visiting Australia later this year..

I'm drawing up a list of things to do, and don't want to miss anything. Would appreciate if those in the know can suggest what they consider to be the great things for people to do when visiting Australia (both the obvious and the not so obvious)

I've never been

but the Harley Davidson bike rides to Aires Rock always looks like fun!

Depending on where your friends are visiting but a few things off the top of my head would be:

Queensland:

Movieworld/Seaworld
Diving on the Great Barrier Reef
Some deep sea fishing

Visiting Cairns

Sydney:

Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Visit the opera house

Melbourne:

Perth:

Go to sleep early like the rest of us.

If they are staying with you for any amount of time, maybe a trip along the great ocean road, stop at Warimbool, Port Fairy, and possibly end up at the Coonawarra wine region. Excellent 2-3 days driving, and give the sport a good run out.

Sydney, agree with the bridge climb, port stephens (dolphin and whale watching), blue mountains (Katoomba) - Echo point, seven sisters, Jenolea Caves etc

What time of year are they visiting? The Mornington Peninsula has diving, beaches (summer) and wineries and great restaurants (winter). Its only a short hop for you from where you are. You could easily spend a couple of days enjoying it in your RRS!!

Would this be the original Cairns that inspired the beautiful Cairns Blue on the RRS?

If so...I'll have to visit it one day...looks beautiful there. PJPR

Ayers Rock and Kakadu get a vote from me.

And Zilch - try MG's in Melbourne  Just a white TDV8 with a few extras

Ooops almost forgot.

If they are traveling all the way out here anyway.

Take another week out and see the East Islands of Australia (New Zealand)  Just a white TDV8 with a few extras

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! Had some of those but not others..

Looking like early November at this stage so weather should just be getting nice again. The problem is that there is just too much to try and do in two weeks!

Me and Mrs S went on honeymoon to Oz and found exactly the same problems... 3 weeks we had, and still didn't see everything we wanted to

you mean the one next to the gentlemens club and Spearmint's yes


2nd Rower if only two weeks and you plan to stay around Victoria, i think Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Great Ocean Road (before the flies wake from their winter slumber) would be a good bet..
