TRAVEL BLOG AND ITINERARY
a travel blog
|
Not often do you get the opportunity to take 2.5 months off work, so we're going all out during Daniel's hard-earned time off. We barely had time to see New Zealand for our honeymoon, but we knew we'd be back to that neck of the woods to see Oz some time, and now is the time! The basic plan is 7 weeks in Australia, and 6 days in Hong Kong on the way home. The first two weeks in Oz will be in the Southwest (Perth, Kalgoorlie), and the next five will be the entire East coast, from Adelaide right on up to Cairns.
