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...

Actually, it's the smaller spiders you need to be aware of, i.e. the redbacks. The larger ones are actually quite friendly and non-venomous. Hooray. Also watch out for the snakes as we have 9 of the 10 most venomous land snakes in the world (not the Black Mamba though, thank god, that thing is in a league of its own when it comes to snake insanity - if you catch it then release it somewhere else, it will turn around and look for you, then chase you. Mortality rate for an untreated bite is 100%. You can keep that one, Africa).

As for staying somewhere near Uluru - I have heard it's better to do a day trip and stay a bit further away. The tours I have also heard are very dodgy, so it's better to do it yourself. I'd give yourself a day to visit Uluru (try to see it at sunset, apparently it's amazing - haven't been, so I can't say for sure though), and a day to visit the Olgas nearby.
