I first visited Australia back in 1990's and lived there as a student in Melbourne. Since I met Olga, we have been talking about holidays and finally we made it back. Over the years, the places have changed, and I am happy to say, mostly for the better. Thank you Australia. We will be back!

I'm a Melburnian ( originally a Pom) and passionate about my adopted city. It amazes me, though, how few tourists know about the stunningly beautiful state of Tasmania. Mind you half of Australia seems oblivious what a jewel we have to our nation's south.

Hi, Hope all is well and hope you enjoyed your stay in Australia, there is plenty more to see but that would take a year of travelling. Food prices are insane and I stopped eating out years ago . My best tip is next time you visit get an Air BNB and or get an apartment with a kitchen .having a steak or two in beats paying $ 150 a meal which is my weekly food bill . Probably Pizza hut or kentucky fried offers the cheapest take away. Mcdonalds and Burger King prices are out of control , but as I said get an Air BNB or Apartment cook your own . Maybe consider hiring a Motor home if you come again and want to travel , you will save heaps.Oh , and I checked out your Music channel , now I get it , all the best....next time take the train , forget UBER

@@ericnoack1324 it’s true, we wanted to cover as much as we possibly could in 10 days - very ambitious as each city easily could take 10 days to explore in it’s own only. Is air BNB good for staying with a kid? How is privacy/showers situation? Arriving at Gold Coast was cool until I saw Uber price, really too much, we took bus, in a way that was a better choice as we got to see more things on the way.
