Australia: December 10, 2003 - January 7, 2004


Home

Koala at the Forest Glen Wildlife Sanctuary, Australia. Having saved 2 weeks worth of vacation days, I decided to take a solo trip to Australia over the Christmas holidays! Since I haven't done a trip of this length before, I decided that joining a tour would be a good idea. I decided on Connections Island Suntanner, which is a 14 day tour up the East Coast, starting in Sydney and ending in Cairns.

More pictures to be added soon!

Here was my tentative itinerary...

Dec 10 - 12

Staying at the Blue Parrot Backpackers hostel, in the Kings Cross area of Sydney
