SYPHADIUS Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Well I'm going on vacation and I'm going to Australia (I'm from Canada :D ) I'm leaving on January 10th (if all goes well :p) and I was hoping to meet some neoniens if possible. You guys could show me around perhaps? or tell me where are all the good spots are. what really motivated me were a couple of Keylden's pics :cool: there amazing... So I'm landing in Sydney first then I'm going to Adelaide, after that I'm not sure perhaps Melbourne? or great barrier reefs who knows :p but any imput would be great. cheers to anyhone who helps :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123848-going-to-australia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Sure thing. If you cruise on by Adelaide, perhaps we can meet up for a few hours. I don't have a lot of time but it would be great to hook up with another fellow neowinian. You will love it here. Australia is a fantastic place to live.

uniacidz Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Blue Bottle jellyfish most common, but they hardly appear. Even if they do, lifeguards always have vinegar around to help out(nulls the sting) Sharks, um, minimal. Hardly at all. I dont think there has been a shark attack/bite for a bit now, might have a attack every 1-2months and its generally in a area where there is no lifeguards.

shrike Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 yeah... I don't want to make it sound too bad, I suppose if you got stuck going to Ayres Rock (or however it's spelt), then you've got a good chance of being helped, since everybody goes there... but i don't know.. it's not like you're going to want to see a hard lump of dirt, when you can have the cities Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123848-going-to-australia/#findComment-1477828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

idkfa Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 If you can, definitely check out the Great Barrier Reef and go snorkelling/diving....well worth it. When I went I was snorkelling I saw a couple of sharks, they came quite close, was bloody good. Also did some spear fishing which is great fun.

scoult01 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Melbourne is good if you're prepared for good/bad weather. Its been like 36C here today, but yesterday it was overcast and raining, f'ked up I swear. Though if you do drop through melbourne, be sure to check out the casino ;) and perhaps the great ocean rd if you fancy a nice drive. Down towards torquey (cant remember how to spell the name), there should be some pretty good surf if your interested.
