[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can PPs talk more about preferring our summer break for this trip? Also would flying from west coast cut costs?[/quote] It depends on what you want to do. If you want to go to the tropical north plus Great Barrier Reef and Uluru plus red centre, then you should go in the Australian winter. Otherwise you hit monsoon season and can’t swim in north plus to hot in centre. Sydney can be lovely and swimmable in their winter but no guarantee. I always fly via the West Coast and do not know anyone who has flown the other way. You usually connect in LA, SF or Houston. Think it’s also possible to go via Vancouver but that’s riskier if you miss the connection. Best to avoid Australian mid-year school break which is usually about 3-4 weeks. One of the biggest unknowns this far out is what the exchange rate will do. At the moment it favours the US dollar. Now it’s $0.65 per Aussie $ but 8 years ago it was $0.80. [/quote]
