I would love to share my wonderful trip from Darwin to Broome.
Although it was something I will never forget it was tinged with
sadness as my dear mother passed away whilst we were at Fitzroy
Crossing. We did however have a celebration once we got back as my
sweet daughter present me with a beautiful grandson. I have made a web
page...I do hope you enjoy it and maybe give you some tips as well as
information on the many places we visited.

Regards

Betsy

I have just joined this group ready to share my experiences during
two stays in Australia.
My town is sister city to Bayside, Melbourne and a group of French
people went there to visit our friends.
We spent five days in Bayside, discovering Melbourne and its
surroundings in 2005. From there we flew to Sydney and enjoyed a few
days there going up to the Blue Mountains.
Our next stop was at Ayers Rock ( Uluru ) before driving to Alice
Springs.
From there we flew to Cairns and the Daintree Forest, Kuranda as well
as a day on the Great Barrier Reef.
I was used to travelling to many places in this word, but found this
first experience fantastic so much that I came back the following
year, this time going from Cairns to Darwin. We couldn't go to the
Kakadu Park closed after the cyclon Monica. We drove through the
Litchfield Park instead down to the Katherine.
We visited the gorge and took a bus to Alice Springs. I wanted to
stay for almost a fortnight in this town of the desert where I had a
few friends to meet.
I really fell for Australia and as so sad on leaving.
I connect myself to the site of the Bojangles in Alice Springs, a
fantastic mean to keep in touch with the country love so much.
France is so far away !
I would like to go to Perh next. When, I don't know. But I am
determined and that's all that counts.
Cheers
Mary

We have just come back from a trip up north. We went as far as Cairns
but were not fussed as one big town is the same as the other; however
we went into a lot of beaches between Townsville and Cairns and saw
some beautiful country. We both loved Cardwell and Lucinda. We spent
one night at a beach town called Bramston Beach and it was lovely; the
Motel there was small and comfortable with some nice walks. Another
night was spent at Cardwell with the beach a stones throw away. We
enjoyed the rainforest drives and went to Clump Mt national
rainforest. Beautiful. Lots for kids to see too and plenty of good
caravan parks. Anyone wanting a good holiday? Give the exy islands and
resorts away and go this way.
