Hi all

I see from some of the earlier postings that August seems to be a popular time to come over to queensland.

good info on the Casablanca apartments but what's everyones experiences of flights, stop overs etc.... furthest we've flown is to the Dominican republic

does'nt appear to be any deals in August. I know a daft question , does anyone know of any ?

just trying to get a ball park figure to work with. flights and accommadation for 4 people and I would think car hire would £6000 cover it ?

It depends if you are after motels/hotels... here is a link for the motel chain we used..the staff were great and it was a bit like trusthouse forte about 10yrs ago - but with a pool. It was very very clean, but because we werent staying longer than 2 nights anywhere, it was handy. The manager would telephone on for us to get us a room (good business practice i know) but it also took some stress off us knowing we had a bed to sleep in as we were travelling.

Ours was a true rekkie, so we didnt do the australia zoo or theme parks as we were there to plan and see.

Flights - we had a half hour plane change in dubai and a half hour stop (without being allowed off the plane) in Singapore. I wish we were able to have a stop over this time on the way, but we cant due to having to make sure we land before July 1st due to the citizenship changes.

£6k is ample, we had the same budget and came back with tons of money.
