[quote]can anyone explain, what Monkey Mia is?[/quote]
Monkey Mia is a popular tourist resort located about 800 km north of Perth, Western Australia. The resort is 25 km northeast of the town of Denham in the Shark Bay Marine Park and World Heritage Site.
The main attraction is the daily feeding of the bottlenose dolphins that have been coming close to shore for more than forty years. Rangers from the Department of Environment and Conservation carefully supervise the process.

Favorite Australian City (11/21/2008)
|
Thanks for all your response. For me, Sydney and Melbourne are the top cities that I love most. In Sydney, I like their awesome beaches such as Bondi, Congee and Tamarama. All of them are so great. In Melbourne, I really admire their shopping malls like Sundays Market and Royal Arcade..

Has anybody heard of deals where you take rental vehicles across Oz for the rental companies needing them back? Looking for a cheap way to get from Perth to East coast.

Australia (11/18/2008)

I'm sure it will boost tourism, especially in the Top End where it was filmed. Some of the shots I have seen would make your mouth water. They have picked the most beautiful parts of the north and with Baz's magic have made them look even better. Besides all that Oprah gave it a big wrap up and said it had convinced HER that she should visit Australia. The Australian dollar being a bit low at present should also help.

Australia East cost recommendations (11/17/2008)
|
To give you a very basic idea given you haven't let us know what your interests are.
February on the East Coast is Summertime so you'll want to be somewhere near the water if possible.
The beaches will be full and Sundayt afternoon drinks at a good pub with a great outdoor beer garden are a must. In Sydney try Newport Arms on the northern beaches or Watsons Bay Hotel in eastern suburbs. Bryon Bay pub has a cool beer garden too but in summer Bryon Bay is jam packed and becoming more and more a ...

A place to live in Australia (11/11/2008)
|
Hey BB no problem, have you decided where you think you might start out?
I had a look at flatmates and there didnt seem to be much there (6 for whole of sydney) and I can tell you there was nearly a page of listing in the Manly Daily (local paper for the northern beaches) so i reckon they might be your best bet. I check their website but it doesn't seem to have any of the listings from the paper there it just defaults the realestate.com share section which is empty so looks like you'll have to ...

Jobs in Australia - Preferably Syndey/Melbourne/Brisbane/Tas (09/29/2008)

Cool. I live in Barcelona and moving to Portugal in March for four months... All part of my university degree though, it's obligatory to do a year abroad if you study a language in most universities in Britain. Would love to do a house swap, but as I'm a humble student, I don't own a house! Bet my parents and sisters would be interested though, you got room for 5??!!
At the moment I am working for a travel company writing for their blog, it's great :) In March I'm going to start working at a ...

Great Barrier Reef (09/20/2008)
|
As a travel agent I get many enquiries about travel in Australia, what to do, what you should include etc. Many are not aware of the great distances involved like Sydney to Melbourne is 1000k, Sydney to Cairns 3000k etc. Recently I had an enquiry from a group who wanted to do Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne-Adelaide-Ayers Rock-Darwin in 8 days with a lot of sightseeing included. You would probably not remember a thing from this trip if you went ahead.
