Default Re: Aussie Millions --> San Fran -> NZ -> Australia Trip Help

remember they drive on the other side of the road.
north is. n.z. mostly pretty but not as much to see. stop at the nat. parks.
in auckland stay in mission bay if you can.
in n.z. most small towns the motels all fill or close up real early so get your place for the nite early in the day.
south is. is beautiful on the north side of it. down around dunedin its nice but not much. but lots of wildlife if you are into that. see the rare yellow eyewd penguins. and albtrosees. there are other penguin areas where the little blues come up the beach in the evening. thats the stuff you do in n.z.
queenstown area has the motor crap you like. jet boats on bungee jumping. if you do that go to skippers. its a wayys out but the spot.
see milford sound when its not raining. wanaka, hike some day hikes on the milford track, or the greenstone.
drive arthures pass out of christchuch to the west side. swim with the dolphins noth of christchurch.

aust.
drive the great ocean road. next drive melbourne to sidney over thru threadbo. two great trips.
stuff is longs way apart there. so most drives take alot of time as you dont drive 70 like in the u.s.
