A.: Tasmania and Tasmania. Just kidding.. Tasmania is fantastic with beautiful places and gorgeous landscapes, but I also recommend in Sydney the Opera House and the harbour bridge. Beaches such as Bondi and Manly are nice and there are plenty of cultural and recreational activities to do. Melbourne is also a nice and multicultural city, full of restaurants, nightclubs, museums and nearby there is the Great South Road and the twelve Apostles, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast are also nice cities, and of course the great barrier reef is a must. If you want something more cultural and native, don't miss Ayers Rock, the Aboriginal sacred rock.

A.: Forever! I was kidding again. I would say 30 days would be nice, but I know many people don't have all this time. Australia is very big and depending on the places you want to see it is going to take many days. Anyways, 15 days is Ok for two different cities, and if you have only one week, I would say to choose one city and stay there.

A.:  Summer in Australia is from December to March and can be very hot in the North parts of Australia and in the Outback. The South, at this time is fresher. Winter, from July to August is the opposite and the North gets really good. Can be quite cold during winter. So, anytime is a good time.

A.: Yes it is. We heave a very low crime rate comparing with other nations in the world. The Australian people are friendly and always keen to help a traveller. There are some places that may bring risks from natural causes, such as crocodiles in the North part as well as jellyfish, but there are signs everywhere telling about. Just take your normal precautions and you will be fine.

A.: Of course you can, and the trip is fantastic, but you will need some time to cover the almost 3000 Km each way. The best if you have 15 days, is to fly to cairns and from there rent a car and deliver it back in Sydney. But remember, you will need many days to enjoy the trip. Also you can visit the Great Barrier Reef from other towns along the way, not only Cairns. There are some budget companies that sell only by the Internet, and some times they put on great offers..

A.: It is difficult to say because it will depend upon what you have in mind for accommodation and tours, But just to give an idea, I just did a 30 days trip up North and I spent an average of A$ 110 a day for two people, staying in a Caravan Park. I did two tours during this time costing around A$ 200 each. You can make the same time for less in a backpack hostel and having budget meals every day. Let's say around A$ 70 per day. It is difficult to spend less, but easy to spend more. For a couple staying in a 3 stars hotels and eating out every day I would say A$ 160 per day excluding tours.

Unfortunately Mr. Tasman Devil saw a female of his specie and run behind. I strongly believe that with this Mr. Devil, the Tasman Devil never will be extinct.
