if you like surf and pubs it is hard to beat the NSW coast


71-BEETLE-SEDAN - April 11th, 2010 at 07:51 PM

Wrong time of year if you wanna go sydney beaches and stuff, way to cold now and for the next while but come in summer and Stsrt and wollongong and head north


annosL - April 11th, 2010 at 07:52 PM

Definately the west coast, more to see, less people, better beaches, more sun, great wine, good surf, tropical east kimberley, quokkas, indian ocean, a few dubs too:yes:

As you're a Pom come to Noosa, there's thousands of us already here so it'll just be like home ....except we've got sandy beaches, blue sky, plenty of space and we speak english!! Pubs might not be up to scratch though but it's a small sacrifice:lol: You also have to promise to go back.

definately darwin in the dry season for great tropical weather and cold beers


beetleboy88 - April 13th, 2010 at 06:14 AM

come to Cairns. Hope on a boat and go diving on the great barrier reef. head a bit further north and your in lush tropical rainforest. massive party town too!!! lots of tourists in cairns!

Mate, pretty much anywhere here in Australia has something worth seeing/doing. It depends what you are in to though as to where would be best. You can backpack around just about anywhere on the coast and get good surf and interesting countryside. Maybe look at the time of year your coming though as if it is in our winter, stay to the north of the country for the warm surfing weather or if you are here in summer, Victoria has some great beaches and towns to explore as well.

You'd have to start in Sydney and take it from there. Don't miss the VW Nationals in Fairfield (Sydney) if you are here on Sunday 23rd May - our biggest VW show.

Grab the Lonely Planet book on Australia and have a read. Also check out http://www.lonelyplanet.com/australia 

I liked Kent very much when I was there in 1999, catching up with an old girlfriend. She works as a copper in Maidstone.

@ LUFTMEISTER, saw a documentary on Wolf Creek, looked a bit dead for my liking. ;)

@ Phil, some of Kent's really nice

You know England has the best sewage system in the whole world? They send all their shit out here:lol: ha, mate where ever you go in the land of OZ, I am pretty sure you will have a great time, just do your homework and pic your chosen destination and pursue it, cheers Frank, oh my brother inlaw is a pom but I dont hold that against him

A little off the actual topic but for all of our American friends (and others) on this site, what you guys call a Brit, we call a Pom or Pommie (quite often with the word bastard in there as well). :):):)
