Home of the Monaro VXR, here I come!

*snoopydances*

My flights are booked, payed and confirmed. I have a shiny new passport including a shiny 'only a mother could love that' picture. I have... uhm, I'm working on the travel insurance. And I need to buy a suitcase. But anyway.

The living dead girl is going to Australia in November! :D

[livejournal.com profile] m_l_h, any tips for me?

Not only will that be my first holiday outside of Europe and the UK but also my first long distance flight. Could be interesting.

I would never consider getting on a train in Northern Ireland, but the trains in Perth were great. I loved being able to hop on a train, and 20 minutes later I was at the beach. Plus I felt remarkably safe on them.

I'm not sure what it's like in Melbourne, but if you get a chance to try the diving or snorkelling I'd do that. I did off the East coast and it was amazing; I would've done it off the West coast as well but I didn't get my act in gear in time.
