Oceania

The best city in the world.

use the public transport!!

The city of shopping, the famous cuckoo clock that plays Waltzing Matilda and Mt Dandenong which makes for a nice day trip. Don't drive unless you are very brave. The trams and traffic have an uneasy set of rules. The Melbourne Tennis Center is home to the Australian Open and of course this is the home of Aussie Rules. Lots of great Greek and Italian restaurants and a thriving metropolis of cultures.

Trams are the best way to get around Melbourne

If you're interested in film, make sure you get along to the australian film museum in Federation Square...there are great interactive pods where you can watch Australian short films for as long as you like, free of charge.

Must see the M.C.G, ride on a tram, eat at Lygon St Carlton. Try the cakes on Ackland St, and take in a Sunday session at the Espy in St.Kilda

The car ferry will save a long drive.

Dont just stop at the car park to see the seals, walk the whole peninsular. Depending on the tide, walk along the beach and back over the headland, or the other way round. Or be different, park at the southern end of the walk, its much quieter.

Hmmm where to begin? Sydney is a fabulous city, not only because it's on the coast and has the Opera House as a trademark but simply because it is still at a stage where we can call it a metropolitan city but isn't yet so terribly congested. And that is truly the beauty of the city, with lots of green and recreational areas. But now to some insider tips:- Do the Harbour Bridge Climb (it's breathtaking)-Visit the Rocks and eat out in Darling Harbour (the atmosphere is great and relaxed): Restaurant recommendations: Angus Steak House, Jordan's seafood restaurant- Take the monorail to get around town: Oh at the QVB exit there's an enormous bookshop (if you're looking for a book, they most probably will have it): Kinokunya Bookshop- Stop at Star City, the QVB (old shopping arcade)- Visit Tarronga Zoo - Head to Bondi Beach for a weekend on the beach!

Nice area, has a fantastic display of Christmas lights around the town during December, although it is probably best not to drive unless absolutely necessary (tour buses are available)

Hire a car and drive on the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne, or use the Grampian Mountains as a base to explore a new section of the Road each day.

What can I say? The classic 'four seasons in one day' city. Talk to the ladies in the information booth in the mall, they know everything, can give you information about the buses/trams which go around the major sights in the city. ps. don't swim in the Yarra.

lots of aberiganee stay away from da ones dsat smell they are da evil 1ns da other are freindly

Jump on the city circular tram, no 55. It's free and takes you around the melbourne CBD past some of the main sites.

Pick up a little french before you go and practice speaking it. The people of New Caledonia speak very fast compared to those in France and there is still places where english isn't spoken (particularly the best restaurants away from the tourism!) While the main land (noumea) has great shops, restaurants and cafes, you must visit the outer islands like the Ile de pines! It is so beautiful and not to be missed!

Melbourne is the most European and in my eyes most charming city in Australia so don't miss it!!!

great city for shopping!!!

when in Ballarat just go and see 'Sovereign Hill'! It's an authentic gold diggers camp with loads of interresting stuff to see and do!

great place to wine and dine! always bring a coat when travelling around October and November - temps change from cool to cold in a heartbeat

Lovely bay side village atmosphere with lots of eclectic shops and cafes. good park at waters edge and ferry rides . both with great views of Melbourne and surrounds. a well kept secret.

A beautiful quiet old fihing village. A delight.

a beautiful town in the mountains. Small and unspoiled by tourists.

Weather forecasts here are very accurate. So make sure to check out the forecast for the day/week before you venture out.

Sydney... I find Sydney a great and exciting city with so much to offer. The harbour is one of my favourite places to hang out on the water or catch a ferry over to Manly. But a good way to see the harbour is the catch the city ferry that does a 2 hour tour of the harbour and little inlets and some interesting facts. A nice city to walk around ( the Botanical gardens and Opera house ) and always feel safe.

Try going around the city by bike. You can go with a group bike tour (complete with a rented bike, helmet and tour guide) or you can rent your own bike. Its safe, it affords you to see much more of the city, its environment friendly and its good for your health.

Melbourne is a really cool city, very artsy.

I love the city, nice people, good nightlife, St.-Kilda beach

for all the city's ive travelled to Melbourne is my favourite one it have all you can wish for nice cheap food at the Victoria market (also open at night) good clubs at st kilda where all the night life is for the touristsfor some awesome underground bars (jazz) and that sort of stuff ask around a bit, you'll find them just outside the centreall the hostels are ok at best i have been in 4 of them and i didn't found a good one

Gilgandra is publicised as the 'Home of the Coo-ees'. This is a reference to the occasion in 1915 when 35 local men decided to set off from Gilgandra on the first recruiting march of World War I. Having received no support from the Army the men walked 500 km to Sydney in six weeks, proclaiming their arrival in a town with the bushman's cry for help, 'coo-ee!'. They received much publicity along the way and arrived in Sydney, 263 strong. The event sparked seven other such marches from rural centres. Gilgandra's annual celebrations include the Coo-ee Festival which is held over the October long week end.

Melbourne is Australia's second largest city. Attractively located on the the banks of the Yarra River and the shores of Port Phillip, Melbourne is characterised by a sophistication and a certain solidity of purpose. The essence of the city was forged in the 1850s when it was the largest, and most affluent, settlement in Australia as a result of its proximity to the vast goldfields of Ballarat, Bendigo and literally dozens of other smaller mining settlements in Victoria. Although Melbourne was to experience depressions in both the 1890s and 1930s it was basically a prosperous and successful city. Its vitality and dynamism of the state continued after World War II when, as a result of Australia's active attempt to attract migrants from Europe, large numbers of non-English speaking settlers (particularly from Italy and Greece) arrived. It is often claimed (not entirely accurately) that Melbourne is the second-largest Greek city in the world (it has recently been changed to third largest city) and the largest Italian city outside Italy. Certainly Lygon Street, famed for its international cuisine, is a symbol of the cultural diversity of the city. Exploring Melbourne
It is quite impossible to list everything that is available to the visitor arriving in Melbourne. However, in the larger context of the city, here is a fairly comprehensive list of the attractions all within walking distance of Flinders Street Station which is the psychological centre of the city. Opposite is Federation Square. The heart of the city. Below is an extensive tourist information centre.

Very pretty little town near Melbourne, great for seafood!! There's a nice beach as well :-)

you will find treasures at victoria and st.kilda markets!

Just the most beautiful city in the world!!!

Rarotonga would have to be my favourite destination in the south pacific. It is always beautiful weather and has the most magnificent beaches and snorkelling. Remember to take along coral shoes as this will be of use. Best restaurant in Rarotonga would be Sails on Muri side, awesome food, excellent location, cocktails to die for and quite resonably priced especially for what you recieve. The Rarotongans are the most friendliest people you are in their beautiful country so respect it. Easiest way to get round Raro is on scooters however if there is 3 or more of you it will work out cheaper to get a small lil pop top car. beware you do need a rarotonga drivers license to drive there you get them in Avarua at the police station and are around $10 nzd however this can take several hours to do so make sure you dont have anything planned that day as you can't rush Island Time.

A good stop on route to Canberra from Sydney or vice versa. The big sheep is one of the tacky Aussie landmarks in the line of the big banana and pineapple, etc... Definitly a fun photo op if nothing else.

Tahaa, est à mon avis l'ile la plus "sauvage" de polynésie. Cette ile est magnifique, la verdure y est omniprésente, les plages sont éloigné les unes des autres, petites, calmes et désertiques... Une ile paradiasiaque encore bien préservé du Tourisme.

Love Coolangatta! Nice people with a fun party!

Go to the Blue Ice Cafe, drink lots of whatever you drink eat the great food then hop in a chopper do the overland Glacier tour then get out go to the info centre get tickets for a horse ride and do the sunset beach tour. Than stay at the YHA or any of the other great venues. Rafting is also a hit you can fly into the alps get dropped off and do anything from 1-3 day tours. Avoid the new climbing wall and talk to the locals because they know where to go, make sure you meet a guy called Scumbag aka Greg Brown and you will be the luckiest person in the world. Also the best things are 30km before hand in HARI HARI because thats where the Wildside backpackers is get the hut out the back and stay with Dan and Kath for as long as you want, suggested minimum is a month.

Moorea is one os the mos beautiful Island of the "iles de la société"...

Go to the beach and see the sunrise at 5am, the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen!

Make sure you bring a camera!!

Make sure you bring a camera!! Scuba Diving at the Gold Coast is AWESOME!!

yea twas aiit

fuk yea it was the goods

This is a laid back surfy town with some good restaurants. There is a nice beach and the market on sundays is really good for cheap but chic jewellery finds!

Melbourne is a nice city with a good atmosphere. Unfortunately the winter weather is a bit too similar to scotland for my liking but ah well. The cokatoos are a bit annoying!

If you are in Christchurch, go to Hamner Springs so you'll enjoy the Hamner Springs!

If you want to go to Christchurch, you should go to Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. That will help you see what is like to visit Antarctica.

If you plan to travel to Sydney, you should visit Terri Irwin's zoo in Queensland cos she is best owner in the world!

Wellington is where I live. It is home to Te Papa Museum- about 10km away from the airport.

Auckland is home to both domestic and international airports. Aucklands has coolest attractions around- they are Kelly Tarltons, and others.

if your coming to bungendore defintely stay at the carrington and there is a great music festival for country music every february

Stay away from the snakes!

great holiday destination. make sure u visit the great barrier reef when visiting. its a awsum day out on the quicksilver catamaran!

have a lovely breaky at the sheraton one morning. and go outlet shopping whoooo

the most amazing bay with the most amazing beach around the corner (omaha). omaha would b mi favourite beach in nz. white sand. lovely estuary. although doesnt hav much to do. there is a nyc bay u can walk to from the southern end of the beach. and u will find pink sand there

One of the stops on the train journey across Australia. Only a shop and a toilet there, apart from abandoned school, hospital and jail buildings. In 2003 the population was 2 and the day I was there those 2 people were gone on holidays and another 2 people were standing in for them!

Trip to Rottnest is nice. Great views of Perth Harbour on the way out.

Very tropical. Fabulous beach. Camel ride is nice at dusk. Poor camels though!

Listen out for the screams at night as people do bungee jumping in the dark, on the hill looking over the town!!

Make sure your luggage is light, as in one on board bag if just visiting or one backpack, briefcase, overnight bag if staying over a weekend if flying nationwide. International travellers would well benefit by carrying amongst their onboard luggage a light, waterproof parka/jacket, a compact hat or a warm cardigan. Wellington, even on it's sunniest days can still be a wee bit nippy or cool.

Always travel with someone who knows the area very well as local knowledge is ALWAYS the best. Safety in numbers, yes. Always remain with your group if on a guided tour, wandering off and doing your own thing may upset the natives and so as the old saying goes, IF IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO. Light, waterproof jacket, sunhat, or compact umbrella wouldnt go astray and a pair of good walking shoes and some 'gummies' wouldnt go amiss either. Also, boil water if in a hotel or camping ground or buy bottled water.

Take a good amount of money either in the way of an EFTPOS card, credit card or debit card. There is soooo much to do in and around Tauranga. The food is great and the nightlife isnt bad either. Try Valentines Restaurant on the wharf. It's really good value.

All Kiwis should experience Stewart Island at least once in their lifetime so to all international and nation wide travellers - go see for yourself! The seafood is some of the purest most succulent in the whole of Aotearoa, the paua are the creamiest and most delicious when cooked on a piping hot char-brick at one of the waterfront restaurants there. Take your camera and try absolutely everything on offer! It's a fantastic, mysterious, beautiful place! And we have it right here ... on our back doorstep!

Be prepared for lots of partying in the ski season and peaceful relaxation in the summer with spectacular views

Awesome suburb of Adelaide by the sea, perfect for sipping a coffee during the day watching the waves then head down to Henley for a few drinks in the evening

Mini Jamaica! Unspoilt island with perfect beaches surrounded by tropical forests, and the coolest little buggy cars to tour the island in. Plenty to see and do if you like exploring

In the rain its pretty but in the sun its paradise, crystal clear blue water and perfect white sand....and miles from civilisation!

Country town in outback australia with the coolest pancake shop ever! great food for a hangover

Check out the Old Melbourne Gaol. It's where Ned Kelly was hung. Do the tour at night as it is very entertaining!

When you go to Kalgorlie be sure to take a flight over the goldmines, in particular the super pit, as you can get really amazing pics with your camera!

When you go to Auckland be sure to visit the Auckland Skytower as its amazing going to the top of the tower in the glass elevator!

Boulder is a town joined onto Kalgoorlie and it is a great place to go if you want to access the goldfields or find out info on the goldmines.

If you ever go to Perth you should head down to the marina where you can take many day trips to Fremantle or up the Black Swan river. It's also great if you want to get some amazing pics of the city!

If you are into watersports or fishing you should go to Te Anau cause its got a really great lake for all these activities. You should also go on the boat trip from Te Anau to go and see the glow worm caves which is great at night.

Good nightlife every night of the week since its a tourist populated town. All the bars are in walking distance of each other, its pretty compact but very lively!

Great nightlife, some good shops... although the best thing about airlie beach is the access to the gorgeous whitsundays!

The zoo is a must! there are loads of beautiful parks around the city centre. Late january to mid february is the best time to visit to take full advantage of the awesome outdoor kiwi lifestyle. A visit to Waiheke island from the city port is also to be recommended. The island is home to some great beaches.

When travelling to Busselton, make sure you take in the jetty. It is an amazing look at the unique sea life of this interesting spot in the world. To save a little cash, stay in one of the tent and trailer parks - hot showers and close to the beach!

Take a jacketDon't for get your cameraTake a picnicmake sure you check out Invercargill

just around the corner at ohiwa is an awesome as camping ground right by the beach

at the harbour every few days there is a wild dolphin that comes in and swims with the locals - great fun

Rarotonga is heaven on earth. Turquiose blue lagoons, white sandy beaches, a relaxed lifestyle, with grass skirts and flowers in hair..who wouldnt be happy here! Muri lagoon is stunning and you can hire a little paddle boat to take you to the little motus. Vara's villas on the hillside are spectacular and have everything you need, such as washing machine, cooker, etc. Once at Rarotonga, you will find it hard to leave.

Tonga, lets most other South Pacific Islands down. The beaches are mostly rocky with rubbish strewn everywhere. Prices for lodgings etc are OTT, offering very poor room standards ie: cleanliness. We stayed at Ou'tuaka Beach Resort and it was the worst place we have ever stayed. Rude staff, dirty rooms, and cruelty to animals. DO NOT stay here!

This beach would be beautiful if it wasnt for the piles of tourists traipsing up and down it or speeding their 4 wheelers along it.

touisty, tacky and trashy.

Muri is beautiful, boasting stunning turquiose blue lagoons and white sandy beaches. Totally what day dreams are made of.

Not a place i'd recommend with its OTT prices for dirty rooms. Lets the south pacific dream down.

Kingscliff caravan park offers some comfy cabins facing out onto a long quiet stretch of beach.

A fab place for a city break. Catch a show, go out for a meal at one of the many great restuarants.

A small town in Oz, theres not much to do here, we only ended up here because we had to find a mechanic quick for our broken down camper!

Bellingen valley is worth a peep if you're passing through, with its rain-forested hills from its high advantage point..

Sawtell a coastl town in Oz (NSW) is a quaint little place were you can do a bit of surfing, shop and relax

Manly is Sydney's most popluar seaside destination. Its quite busy. The best surf shops are here though and you can shop till your hearts content or eat at one of the fine diners. Check out the Quarantine Ghost Tour.

Corindi beach is close to Coffs Harbour. Stay at Corindi Caravan Park. Its a pretty little place and great for getting away from it all and clearing the head!

stay at the backpackers resort noosa!!! a really nice hostel!

Visit the penguins on the penesula.

homicide capital of new zealand! good for rowing but thats about all!

one of the best city in nz. the cuba street is amazing

Houses Auckland Airport, an infuriating road system and motels crawling with whores. Bankok of the antipodes.

Make sure you visit Breakfast with the Birds at the Rainforest Habitat - buffet breakfast is included in the entry price, lots of food and feathery friends hang around you!

This town is probably best for those interested in architecture, but the waterfront is enjoyable for all.

1. A must visit if you are coming to New Zealand. 2. Kaiteriteri Beach, Nelson, New Zealand. Stunning golden sands. I know someone with a beautiful 4 bedroom holiday home there!

The Hot Springs in Rotorua sure are beautiful, but be ready to cover your nose, cause the sulfur sure stinks!

Is a great place to travel to for adventure. def. go out on a scuba diving boat or just to go snorkeling.

This is where all the army boys live, be careful all u girls at nite there.

Druggies leave needles in the sand :) Take sunscreen!

Only if you own a horse :)

The most chilled out place i've ever been too!! Well worth a visit!!

great place for party and getting legless windiong up wiv sum hotty on da beach or in a backpackers

small hippy town can be compared to winchester in hampshire

I love Auckland! Stay near Ponsonby Road, it's a nice area with good eateries.

visit for country music festivals and general camping in what i affectionately call Gods Country!

Dodgy, dodgy ,very dodgy!!

There may still be a place in Kuranda called Cassowary House... a place for birders run by a couple of old Kenya hands, John and Rita Squires... fabulous and a must if you are into birds.

check out the farmer's market the blueberry ice cream is awesome!

Fantastic spot all year round...Winter for snow skiing/boarding and summer for all the summer water sports. Great night clubs and eateries, always good for people wathching and having a weekend away with friends, Not to mention the fantastic scenery, but remember a jumper it gets cool quickly in the evenings...take your wallet full...its not renound for being on the cheaper budget!

ST Helliers, lively town, good cafe's and restaurants

Piha is a beautiful beach away from the chaotic city! the drive is scenic and the beach isn't overcrowded much. Be careful in the surf as it can be rough and dangerous, usually there are lifeguards on the beach! You can climb the track to the top of Lion's Rock for a great view.. remember your jandals cuz the sand gets crazy hot!

just enjoy

Drive to the end of Town Point Rd, then keep walking along the cliffs to the end of the point. Go over the fench, through the grass and under the big pohutukawa tree. There is a seat there and some awesome views, best when the sun is setting or rising.

The Burger King in Tokoroa is pretty reliable, and there's a nifty shortcut to the West Taupo Road.

Great place to stay lots to do weather it's relaxing or enjoying the outdoors. Lots of cafe's to stare out to the sounds. Charter boats galore, seakaying tours avaliable etc

a good place to stay is the top 10 holiday park right by the river

Never travel at night. Take a friend with you. And just follow Queenstreet.

if you catch a bus anywhere, make sure you learn bus etiquette

posh subburb of fremantle

Do Not go onto the road to photograph the LP bottle... thats why they moved it back

Its in Alexandra. Go to the Blossom Festival in spring (Sept/Oct)

Amazing golf course, must be played

deffinetly an eye opener. but its a great little place. just be sure to keep an open mind. hehe

Wellington. Go shopping.

Unless you're interested in visiting Parliament or are a Politician there's not any real reason to go.

Nothing here any more. Used to be rural but the ever expanding Sydney took care of that.

very small nice place to relax. you can see dolphin almost everyday in the summer time! you dont need to go to monkey mia to spend all the money you have!

I live in Auckland. Yay for me.

Queen Street isn't where all the best stuff is. Check around the side streets for some serious designer stores.

Dont know much about Dalby...Just the Marty Rassmussen lived here once!

Best city ever. Take filled lobster at harbor's area and go to woologong for hugh waves!

When u r in Wellington, always take at least a light jacket with u. The wind can be bitter cold.

For the quintessential Aussie experience, head to Manly and northern beaches...the types of people you'll meet and the lifestyle here is all Home and Away...

Just wander round the island and discover the secrets it holds!

Just suburban Sydney. Nothing much going on except the Epping Pub. Watch out for the cops on a Friday night.

Visit the west coast beaches.

Just get to the beach and steal milk cartons from outside the NB surf club near the playground....

In winter (mid June - late October) make sure you hit the slopes skiing/boarding at Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand's largest ski field!

Fantastic city reomend to anyone

Very cool way to see the Sydney Harbour is to take the ferry from Paramatta, on the Paramatta River. a daytripper costs $16 and is good on all Sydney Ferries, Busses, and Trains all day.

Don't forget to buy cheese from the cheese shop at this "stop-over" town. Oh, and if you're in there in the morning, tuck into some breakfast at the Pokeno cafe there.

Its pretty cold down there!

Eat at the cafes rather than food from locals - best way to avoid food poisoning!

Take a trip to the island TiriTiri Matangi in the Hauraki Gulf...it's the best opportunity you'll have of seeing (and hearing) the Kiwi (you'll need to stay overnight though, which is possible with prior arrangement, as the Kiwi is nocturnal).

Great family place to visit the barrier reef from

Best winery - Mt Difficulty

Mountain biking is really popular here; if you're fit make sure you try out some of the tracks.

Watch out for the earth quakes here -- not because they're frightening, but because it's frequent and a cool experience!

Napier is the springboard for the Hawkes Bay wine region. You'll need to decide which areas to visit before you head off as there are so many cellar doors you'll run out of time for any favourites if you try to do them all. Gimblett Gravels is a personal favourite and is close to Napier township...

Is one of the most beautiful places in French Polynesia with nice surf spots and relaxed people but beware of bike thieves... Lol. Rent a car. 

Buy a gas mask because this place stinks of rotten eggs i.e sulphur.

A good place to stay on the long drive around East Cape with an excellent motor camp, good scenery and even better fishing...

One of the best things about Wellington is you can walk between just about everything you'll want to see. A very creative city with sculpture and art everywhere..one of the best places in NZ to see a wide range of contemporary NZ art.

Tourist attraction time! Piha was used for the film "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian".

Hi guys Paihia is pretty straight forward. Stick to the main road along the coast and you are sweet. A variety of services are available including the ferry over to russel and adventure boating on the Mac Attack whick i personally recommend. Your cheapest accomadation available is on Kings road in the form of 2 particular hostles, "The mouse trap" and "Pepper Tree Lodge". There is a nice bar opposite these also called Pepper tree. However I prefer the bar at the docks called 32 degrees from memory. Safe traveling people, Keep it fun tho ;-)

Just outside Hokitika just next to Lake Mahinapua is a little place affectionately known as the Pu Pub. Its a brilliant place with lots of history. Anyone staying here will have a great time and hopefully get to meet Les!

I can't think of any reason why anyone would "travel" to Belconnen but then I grew up in Canberra and perhaps I take it for granted. I guess Lake Ginninderra is nice and I occasionally trip out there for a walk around the lake. The Australian Institute of Sport which is located out that way is quite interesting. There is the Belconnen Mall which if you like shopping malls is not too bad as it has the basics like Kmart and Myer. It always annoyed me that it didn't have The Body Shop though as I am rather partial to The Body Shop. I can't think of anything else to add about Belconnen.

Tamworth is a really nice little town 4 hours outside of Sydney.. it gets really hot here in the summer, but the pubs here is great, so you can drown your thirst there.. the jillaroo school(cowgirl/cowboy school) is worth a try:) learn to throw a lasso, to ride a horse, mustring cattle and all the other things a real cowboy should know...

Skydive Taupo! Highest skydive in the world at 15,000 feet! Definately worth a look. Loads more as well, bungy, kayak etc! Or just chill by the lake and have a great night out at Element Bar or Holy Cow!

Dunner's night life is dead without the students...if you are looking for a crazy night out on the town, watch out for summer holidays. Although the Bog goes OFF.

Definitely worth a visit to the cathedral downtown, before taking the cable cars up to the hill and look over the beautiful landscape New Zealand has to offer.

Fraser Island is one of the most beautiful places ive been... its the worlds biggest sand island and its lot to experience here... go to champagne pools for a refreshing bubble bath, to the fresh water lake McKenzie lake in the middle of the island, or camping in the bush... its a lot of dingos, huge iguanas and a big tiger shark family here, so watch out;)

Just a little tip if you get really bad car sickness, take the train over the hills to masterton instead of driving. The hills are really bad.

Do not pass up the opportunity to go Blackwater Rafting in Waitomo! Blackwater rafting combines rappelling, climbing, rafting, caving, swimming and adventure!

Don't forget your bl**dy sunblock. take it with you. SPF 45 if poss. The burn rate in summer (Dec-Marchish) is 8 mins to lobster city. seriously.

Ein Ort welcher in Neuseeland besucht werden muss. Herrlich die Farbe des Sees. Und Abends einen Besuch in der suedlichsten Sternwarte. Gewaltiger Sternenhimmel :D

has loads of whales!!!! and seals..nice

Comfortable suburb of Palmy, 5 miles out. Neat gardens, neat roads.
