hello all,
Yes, it is on my wish list as well-----is Sydney still the most touristy city? I think I would prefer a smaller city that is easy to get around in.

And then if you want a great beach destination to lay around for a bit, there are many choices. I am leaning towards one that is 2 hours from Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne and even closer to New Zealand. I have never tried it, but check out the link at the bottom and let me know if you know about it?
