I don't think scarves and gloves are necessary at all in winter. Honestly I haven't owned a pair of gloves or scarf ever. Whilst it does get to below 10 degrees sometimes. Generally speaking winter in Sydney never goes below 10 degrees. I think its normally about 12 degrees.
Plus if your a back…

Hi, if you're after a 'village' feel, I would suggest for you to look for a place in the Inner West, somewhere like Newtown, Annandale or Leichardt, these places have the 'arty' vibe.
For a place that has a 'beach' feel (full of tourists and expats as well), a place like Bondi or Coogee would be…

When travelling around Australia, don't fly in and out of the same Airport. If you have loads of time there then you can do this because you have time to go back, otherwise you spend half your time getting somewhere and the rest of the time trying to get back. If you are travelling on a budget then …

I had a really bad start to the trip. I was amongst the first to board the aircraft as I was seated at the rear. It was roasting inside ... after a couple of apologies by cabin crew, the Captain came over the PA to apologise for the heat as he had turned off one of the air-conditioning units. …

You can probably find some cheap flights to major cities. I planned a weekend to Sydney (flying from Melbourne) for less than $500, which also includes lodging at a youth hostel. Try looking on their domestic airlines page (I flew with VirginBlue, it was relatively inexpensive). You can always tr…

Very quiet city with fresh air.
Living and working here is not a good idea. You're gonna be mad in one week.

efficientwanderer says:
How limited? It's a long way from Sydney to Cairns, so flights might realistically be your only option. But if you can, do hire a car, even if only for part of the drive. There are lots of fun spots that you will miss without a car. Maybe drive Sydney to Brisbane and then fly Brisbane/Gold Coast…

My husband & I were waiting for over 25 years to visit Australia. We were so excited to finally get into a plane first, from Florida bound to San Fransisco and then finally to Sydney. However, from the time we got to Sydney until we left Australia, each and every encounter with Australians, be it…

Public transport in Melbourne is fairly good - we have trams, trains and buses.
The ticketing is done via the Metlink system; and you can buy these either on trams, at train stations, or from the driver when you get on the bus.
All trams (and the buses and trains up to certain stops/stations) ar…

The island itself is really small. I spent over a week there and by the end of it you are searching for things to do. I would not recommend spending more than 3-4 days here.
Good dive sites, a lot of coral around.
Easily walk from one end of the island to the other in 15 mins.
The accomm…

Chelsea says:
Expensive:
Countrylink trains have raised their prices astronomically. It's now about $40 one-way to get from Melbourne to Rutherglen. As I said in an earlier review, you still have to book some time in advance (i.e. not 5 mins before the train leaves, like you can with vline).
Average:
