| State of South Australia | Best way to go Posted: Wed October 28, 2009 11:43 AM UTC
Planning on leaving Sydney on 19/12/09 to go to Adelaide for Christmas break .Would it be best to go via Hay plains ?Which I hear is long and boring or is there a better route I want to take a few days to get there so as not to rush it and see some of the country side .And would like to return around 27th via a different route maybe the coast road to Melbourne then up to Sydney ,Any suggestions as I have only ever flown and really want to experience the drive .

| Kangaroo Island | How many days would you recommend for a bus load of year 9 students?! Posted: Wed May 20, 2009 09:11 AM UTC
Hi KI,
What kind of accommodation is available on Kangaroo Island for maybe 30-35 year 9 students travelling by bus? They are about 14 years old and we'd be looking at taking them to varied places for different activities. Any suggestions? It would be in November. Thanks! |

| State of South Australia | Melbourne or Adelaide in May Posted: Fri March 27, 2009 05:20 PM UTC
Hi,
My friends and I would like to travel to either Melbourne or Adelaide for a 9 days holiday during mid-May. However we are unsure about the weather and the attractions that would be available during this period. Is there anyone who can enlighten us on which venue would be appropriate for adventure and fun? Thanks a lot! |

| Adelaide | bus/train to AAMI stadium Posted: Thu November 6, 2008 12:38 PM UTC
Hi all, although I live near Adelaide I never use public transport and am going to the Andre Rieu concert evening of the 18th Nov. We plan on having an early dinner in the city then need to get to the stadium (together with 10,000 other people), can you please tell me the bus route or if there is a train. Are there buses back to the city around 11p.m.?
I will drive there if need be but am not at all familiar with that side of town. I will be coming into the city on Main North road. |

| Adelaide | Adelaide-KI-Melbourne(12Dec to 21st Dec) Posted: Tue October 28, 2008 06:14 AM UTC
Hi. My name is Yasmin and my hubby and I (in our early 30s)will be in Adelaide from 11th Dec. We are hiring a car and would like to share the cost of travel with a couple who are interested in going to Kangaroo Island from Adelaide on the 12th of Dec to the 15th of Dec. We will then be making our way up to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road and plan to reach Melbourne on the 20th as we have a flight to catch early on the 21st.
We are huge nature lovers want to see as much of the natural beauty of the route as possible. We are easy going and flexible and just want to have a relaxing time :)We plan to camp at safe campgrounds. The cost for a couple will be AUD500 (per pax $250)which includes the following : 1. car rental 2. petrol 3. Sealink ferry charges for car (does not include your ferry pass that is about $164 per couple) 4.my hubby driving for the 10 days. We plan to camp at safe campgrounds. If your travel plans fall into the above dates, pls email me at yrparanjothy@hotmail.com Am really sorry but you have to be a non smoker :) |

| Kangaroo Island | Anyone want to share a car with us to KI? Posted: Wed October 8, 2008 04:51 AM UTC
Hi. My hubby and I (in our early 30s) will be hiring a car from Adelaide on the 11th of Dec 2008 and we'll be going to KI on either the 11th or 12th. We'll be in KI for 3 nights camping and we want to see as much of KI as we can. Having a car is a great asset, i believe.
It's a small car (Hyundai Getz)so it'll only be able to accomodate 2 medium sized people in the back seat with medium backpacks. The cost for 2 pax total will be AUD350 that includes the following 1. Return travel from Adelaide to Cape Jervis where we take the ferry to KI (and back to Adelaide). I've checked around and I think theres a coach that runs between Adelaide and Cape Jervis for AUD40 per pax return. So just that would cost you both AUD80 if you were to make your own way to Cape Jervis. 2. The ferry cost of the vehicle (does not include your ferry pass that you'll have to buy seperately) 3. The car rental cost 4. Travel within KI for 3 days to all the interesting places that we can discuss and go to. 5. The total fuel cost 5. My hubby driving :) I do believe that this would be one of the cheapest ways if your on a budget like us to see as much of KI and enable us to be flexible and go to all the interesting places in KI. If your interested, pls email me at yrparanjothy@hotmail.com with title to email 'Anyone want to share a car with us to KI?'. |

| Adelaide | Wine Tour Posted: Thu July 3, 2008 04:24 PM UTC
Hello, my husband and I will be in Adelaide for five days, three of which will be spent on Kangaroo Island.
We know this area of Australia is world famous for its wines and would like to do a tour. Does anyone have any suggestions? We thought about hiring a car, but the mixing of wine tasting and driving is likely not a good idea. We tend to shy away from large bus tours if this is possible. Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice you can give! Al |

| State of South Australia | Kangaroo Island Tour Posted: Sat April 26, 2008 10:06 PM UTC
Hi, I'm looking for an inexpensive 2-day tour of Kangaroo Island. I have seen that the Adelaide Youth Hostel offers a tour. Has anyone done this tour? Is it a quality tour? Alternatively, has anyone used the company Surf and Sun? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

| State of South Australia | Adelaide to Alice Springs Posted: Fri April 25, 2008 09:05 AM UTC
Hi,
In July I would like to travel form Adelaide to Alice Spings by public transport. In between I was thinking about visiting Barossa Valley, Wilpena Pound and Coober Pedy. I have two questions about this: - Can these destinations easily be reached by public transport (if yes, which service?) or is it better to skip? - How long should I stay at these locations? Are there many interesting things to see and do? Thanks in advance! Mark |

| Adelaide | Car pool in Adelaide??? Posted: Thu April 10, 2008 03:35 PM UTC
Anyone know of a good way to organise a car pool in Adelaide?? I found a couple websites that match people up, but after registering with each of them, shock, horror, there is noone in Adelaide registered on their sites ... except ME!
Am I really the only person in Adelaide who wants to commute in a car pool?? If you live near Glenelg and work anywhere near North Terrace and you have a car but want some money for petrol and some company for the drive (I can drive too if you like) ... please let me know!! :) It's so hard to be environmentally conscious these days! Public transport here in Adelaide is just shocking at the moment, I've had it up to here. The tram is always late and full and overpriced. I'm not upset enough (yet) to buy a car. ;) Happy travels, Daniele |

| State of South Australia | New question Posted: Fri April 4, 2008 03:47 AM UTC
Hello,
Thank all of you for your replies to my first posting. I really appreciate your feedback! I am traveling to Australia with my son who is 30 years old, and the situation is that we have had a difficult relationship in the past. This trip is an opportunity to let him know how much he means to me. We live near Los Angeles, CA., and I am not healthy and don't know if I will be able to travel in the future. Thanks to your help, we have decided on our itinerary: 1. Arrive in Brisbane on 8/31/08 2. Leave Brisbane and arrive in in Adelaide on 9/3 3. Leave Adelaide and arrive in Melbourne on 9/5 4. Leave Melbourne and arrive in Sydney on 9/8 5. Leave Sydney on 9/13 and arrive in Los Angeles We have already booked the flight and the hotels and I was wondering if I can get guidance on what we should do during our stays in these four locations. My budget is limited but I feel that this is a once in a lifetime chance for us to have a second chance to re-develope our relationship. I want my son to remember this trip for the rest of his life and am so grateful that he agreed to it. I am afraid that if we go there without knowing what we must see, I will surely regret it. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you for your kindness in this matter. |
