We spent a wonderful five weeks in Australia between 10 December 2000 and 14 January 2001. This is a brief report on our trip, with links to Web sites of places we visited and tours that we made, as well as to some general sites that we have found subsequently. We have divided this part of the site into the major segments of the trip, which were as follows:

• Perth and the train to Sydney
• Sydney and the Blue Mountains
• Brisbane
• Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef
• Undara and the Atherton Tablelands
• Port Douglas and the Rain forests
• Ayers Rock (Uluru)

Most of the accommodation and tours in Sydney and Queensland we booked over the Internet through TravelOnline. We could not have done it without them -- and particularly one of their travel consultants, Rebecca Hertrick. If you're looking for help in planning a trip or making bookings, we have no hesitation in recommending them.

Roger's part has been to find the links and do a summary. Cheryll's part is to fill it out with comments. So, if there aren't enough comments for you, please mail her and tell her to get on with it!!
