I did this 3 week trip with JY last November. I've had some really good holidays but this was by far the best. Like the other messager I thought Ayers Rock (now called Uluru) was an absolute highlight. We didnt get chance to do the helicopter but did the Sounds of Silence Dinner at sunset - an experience not to be missed as was the baloon ride. The combination of cities and natural beauty was awesome. As it was a fairly long trip the group got to know each other really well and we had great fun. I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip - I'm really jealous I'm not going!!

Best Wishes for many happy holidays

I too am thinking about doing this trip it sounds absolutely fab. Always fancied going to Aus but a very long trip. Are you doing any of the stop overs or going straight through and straight back?

Sam

I am going straight through and back, please let me know if you book, this is my dream holiday, but it is the first time I have been away on my own and would love to feel I knew someone else who was going.

Best wishes

Well looking into from work point of view just hope they allow me the time off. Is it the 8th March you are booked onto? This is my second dream holiday of doing. My first was safari, which i did back in Jan with JY and enjoyed every minute. Dont be nervous of doing this on your own, i know it is easy to say but you do meet a great bunch of people. I will probably be nervous again this time. Where are you travelling from? I will be coming up from Cornwall

Sam

Thanks for the reassuring message, safari must have been amazing! Yes I am booked for 8 March and will be flying from Heathrow. Although it is still months ahead I am already thinking about it all the time.

Please keep in touch, hope they will be ok at work and that I will see you there.

Well i have been granted my holiday so i will be joining you to australia. Just need to book it now with JY. I am actually off to grand canyon in sept so got that one to look forward to first and then it will be Australia. Its only seven months away that will soon go.

Where will you be coming from just wondering if we could travel up together. I will be going from Cornwall. I know its early yet, but i do like to be prepared lol

Sam

Its great that you will be coming to Australia. Have a fantastic time at the Grand Canyon - you must be a really experienced traveller!

I will be travelling from West London, so I am lucky that it is not too far to Heathrow. Can we arrange to meet there nearer the time. I have stuck pictures of Australia all over my kitchen and am already counting the weeks.

I would love to hear what you think of the Grand Canyon when you return. I am sure it must be amazing.

Best wishes Susie

I'm booked on the trip to Aus in March 2011. It is my dream trip as well Had hoped to go last year but it wasn't to be so am reallt looking forward to it. I will be coming from Birmingham so will be staying overnight at Heathrow I expect. I am also doing the stopover on the way out so am leaving on the 4th March Is anyone else stopping over.

Sue

You lucky thing not very far to travel. I will probably be coming up on national express, but will sort that nearer the time. Yes it would be great to meet up at the airport. I will be in touch after my trip to the grand canyon. I am sure it will be amazing lots of people have told me so.

Sam

Good thats 3 of us going! Not doing any stop overs so i guess will see you out there. Really looking forward to it

Sam

Not doing the stopover, but I'm not sure how it works, will you be on the same flight for the last part of the journey? Will see you in Aus for sure anyway. I am looking forward to it so much! Lovely to hear from you

Susie

I am also thinking of going to Australia and adding on New Zealand next year. Unfortunately, March may not suit so I am thinking of going through Travelsphere in April and either paying the single supplement (which is actually cheaper than the the Just You price)or trying to find a someone to share with.
