quickoverayard Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Did these in 2017 - March of the Penguins was brilliant. Its an amazing thing to see.... the walk down was a killer. I also done a day trip on the ferry so Sorrento which was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Final decision was: 2 days in Sydney 5 days on Hamilton Island 4 days in Melbourne 8 days on Tasmania Including the flights there and back it pretty much takes up the full 21 days we had to play with. Will now start planning the specifics for Sydney and Melbourne. Hamilton Island and Tasmania we already have a shed load planned. Better be f*cking worth it, you upside down c*ntos.

I normally get a junk food hamper from the mother in law at Christmas and these were always my favourite so ill be very disappointed. Need to throw shapes into the equation also especially the pizza flavoured ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always felt the true experience was that of going to smaller towns. The gold coast is awesome, go to surfers paradise and thank me later....

AsimButtHitsASix Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Melbourne was one of the best nights out I've ever had when I was staying there. I was stuck out in Melton and decided to just get the train in, got wasted, and wait for the first train home. Ended up falling asleep on some ceremonial anchor out of my dial. Some cracking pubs in/around Chinatown (or at least there was a decade ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my brief times there I always got the impression Melbourne would be a better place to live while Sydney has the more obvious tourist attractions but isn't as good once the novelty has worn off. Had a couple of cracking days / nights on Fraser Island as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be rare to see anyone having a beer smaller than 285ml, some might still do the 200ml. Going back to the 80's and before the sizes below that were usually used to serve port or marsalla or any other fortified wine for the hardened drinkers or in a lot of pubs for spirits.

Highland Capital Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 A sad lack of Violet Crumbles being mentioned in this thread. Like a Crunchie, but better. The chocolate bar of the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It would be rare to see anyone having a beer smaller than 285ml, some might still do the 200ml. Going back 10 years ago, I was working at the Baringhup hydro-electric dam. Myself and a couple of boys had flown from Sydney to Melbourne then drove up to Maldon, in the arse end of nowhere, where we met up with an Australian guy we worked with who’d travelled down in a works van the previous day. He seemed remarkably coherent considering he’d just told us he’d drank about 15 beers in the couple of hours he’d been waiting on us. We ordered a round in and were each presented with a small 200ml glass tankard of lager, which was no more than a mouthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Will an ETA suffice for entry into Aus or am I better applying for an actual Visa? I think I am safe with just the first but want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Should reac Sheila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
