Also, can't decide whether October, November or March is best weatherwise so your advice would be appreciated please!

Days 14-16 are free for you to explore or join our optional excursions, so you are welcome to see your family then.

Weatherwise, there isn't a lot between those months. March on the coast will be slightly hotter (about 20 degrees Celsius) and wetter then Oct/Nov (which will be around 18-19 degrees). Inland - at Alice Springs for example - temperatures could easily reach 30 degrees during all of those months.

Kind regards,

The majority of our customers are in their 50s and 60s (with plenty more either side of that) so I'm sure you will be very much in the middle range, age wise.

I went on the Australia trip in October 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would say the age range was late 40's to 70's with a couple of people who were quite a bit younger.

We all got on really well and had a fantastic time - remember you are all in the same boat on holiday with people you dont know, so you all make an effort to fit in. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I'm still considering booking the Australia trip in October this year, Can anyone who has done this trip tell me what roughly what ages people are who take this trip! I'm 61 and don't want to feel out of it if everyone is likely to be very much younger ....

I went on this trip in October 2010 and ages varied from late 40 to mid 70s with a couple of people quite a bit younger.

As you are all there to have a holiday of a lifetime age doesnt really matter - you will enjoy it.
