Lmao these aussies are unbelievable!

When I was travelling OZ I almost believed this Drop Bears story haha (our driver was really convincing). Anyway, as long as you follow the guide's instructions you don't risk anything. Don't believe everything he might say, he's just trying to scare tourists :P

From a european sight (I'm swiss), australians are some of the coolest and craziest people worldwide. It's impossible not to enjoy a stay there.

I personnally loved Broome (WA). However, my best experiences were from Fraser Island and as Yoda suggested Uluru. A 2 days trip to Uluru isn't enough to see both the rock and King's Canyon as far as I remember. Though if you have 3-4 days it's definitely worth it.

wow thanks everyone for the advice! I'll keep my phone with me in case im attacked by anything and so will my mrs. I think itd be quicker to list everything that isn't dangerous!

i really wonder how you guys survived and colonised australia and still have such a great sense of humour...

i am really looking forward to the cruise to the great barrier reef. I think im safe from the rays though, Steve Irwin was tempting fate after teasing all those crocs and scorpions all those years... something in the animal kingdom was going to stick him when he least expected it...

Well, the one thing we don't really have is large carnivorous mammals - the dingo is about as close as we get (although it can take a baby!) so you can pat anything that's fluffy and you should be ok. Unless you're in a zoo and it's a lion, then perhaps not.

Q: Why aren't there any large carnivorous mammals in Australia?
A: Because the spiders killed and ate them all.

So i take it there are no rabid camels then?

im not surprised if there are no carnivorous mammals left if they can get ate,bit,stung,diseased,poisoned, hung in a web just by minding their own business!

OK so fluffy stuff is good everything else is bad.

do you guys watch australian masterchef? undoubtedly the best cooking competition to watch on tv in the world. far better than the uk version. im surprised the short bald chubby presenter hasnt got eaten yet

not all fluffy stuff is good.. koalas can eat a man whole!

master chef is over rated rubbish. i would rather see a good action, drama or comedy series, than the afore mentioned short fat bloke cooking :D

I actually spent my honeymoon in Port Douglas - it's a great spot. Make sure you have a cocktail in the Sunset Bar up the top of the Court House Hotel down the bottom of McCrossin St and check out the toad races at the Iron Bar. They are a bit of a gimmick but good fun none the less. Other than that just relax by the pool and chill. Plenty of good places to eat and drink and every up there was incredibly laid back. Well worth the trip in my book.

From memory i ate at Zinc, Salsas, Zeus and they were all great feeds as well.

I agree that two days aren't enough for the center but I still think a taster is better than nothing but it can depend on the budget. To me the best three things in Australia are the reef, the rock and the road. It would be a pity if you only saw one of them. In 4th place I would probably put Sydney harbour.

we were going to go to ayers rock but we heard bad things from some of our friends who went there (independently) of each other, who said it / the businesses in the area were too poor quality for the money they were charging.
Something about it all being owned by one company or something?
anyway for us it would be an extra set of flights and we really want to have a relaxing and fun honeymoon without thinking were getting ripped off or anything :)
and i know ill be happy just being in such a great place with friendly people (and unfriendly animals) looking out for the dropbears amongst other things...
