Default What to do down under?

Hi there, I know this is a little off topic of the website but I will be visiting Australia and New Zealand in 2008 and I was just wondering what are some of the sites I have to see while down there. I know its a ways away from the time but you can never spart planning too early can you. I probablly should mention that I will be in Sydney while in Australia and as far as New Zealand Im not sure yet. If any of you guys could tell me the hot spots to see I would greatly appreicate it. Thanks.

well I do like fishing but I dont want to limit myself to just the experiences I like. Im going to go to the opera house for sure and I was reading up about that bridge thats near it that is supose to be a big tourist attraction. I will also be there with my mom and she loves nature and all that and she wants to go to the zoo down there. If there are any local hotspots for fishing that would be cool to know about them but just all the good tourist attractions there and around sydney. Anything would be greatly appreiated. Thank.

If you can make it out to Heron Island on the Great Barrier reef, I highly recommend it. Nice for a relaxing weekend of diving, beaching, snokeling.

I agree with Krankie, you'll need them for the streets of Sydney. In Sydney, you can go visit the many beaches (Cronulla & Bondi) are good, but usually busy. You can go to the centre point tower, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Opera House etc etc. As for fishing, I'm not too sure, but I can ask my dad where he goes.

Thanks for all the info. I got to thinking about it and I forgot to mention that I will be getting some tattoos while Im in Australia. So what Im wondering is can anybody recomend some good tattoo places? It doesnt have to be in Sydney but then again not to far away. I would say a couple hours away unless it was outstading art work. Thanks again.

I, too, will be visiting Australia and I am looking to meet some great Mustang enthusiasts while there. I'll be there this May 7 thru 18. I will be in Melbourne. Are there any Mustang or other Ford club events or shows during that time in the Melbourne area?
thanks,
