Question:
Humans say...
Rodney
Fraser island and Gold coast
Jodi
Rodney thanks!!!
Tracey
We usually land in Brisbane and spend a couple of days at the Sheraton on the Gold Coast. In the City, you must walk the waterfront and the Koala Sanctuary is amazing. We’ve stayed at both the Westin and Marriott downtown. Both good.
Jodi
Tracey really appreciate the recommendations!
Marc
Where are you flying home from? How long is your trip? Vroom vroom vroom for Aussie car rentals
Jodi
Marc thanks for the car rental recommendation! This is great
Andrew
Burleigh Heads Mt Tambourine and the Sky Walk are really nice places Surfers Paradise is very commercial, the Botanical gardens in Brisbane are nice as well. November is a good time to go because it's not super hot.
Jodi
Andrew thanks Andrew! The sky walk has made the list
Silvana
Following! We're hoping to go at the end of Aug 2023 and come back just before school starts.
Jodi
Silvana we will definitely update the group with some of our stops. One thing we are learning is to book early. This trip came up quickly so finding some of the areas are already booked. Ie Hamilton island.
Silvana
Jodi Good to know. Better start looking fast
Gail
Cairns, Port Dolglas and the Atherton Table Lands, The sunny coast is much nicer than the Gold Coast
Jodi
Gail thanks so much!
Tara
I second this! The Whitsundays are beautiful and make sure to do a snorkel or dive out of Cairns
