Hi Twinkle, i am in the process of applying for my Visa, i am doing east coast first, my friend recommended head to Melbourne first then head up to Sydney etc.
but i am in the same boat as you, going on own (perhaps a few friends but they are reluctant to make up their minds) backpacking and in hostels.

Hey Ami.I think im guna stay in thailand for 4-5 days to break up the trip to OZ as i am flying from gatwick, not entirely sure yet,mite do it on the way back.I no the flight stops off at singapore which is closer to cairns.So Doesnt it make more sense for me to fly in at cairns then head down the east coast to melbourne and then hop over to NZ? this has gota b the most cost effective route as it is the shortest?
Sydney for new years is a defo iv heard, but its best to book now

Yes completely agree, it would make alot more sense, i just know i would like to be in Sydney for the Mardi Gras in Feb so im thinking Melbourne is best. i want to work a full year in Oz then head to New Zealand, just looking at permits there, then heading to Fiji.

Where do you think you'll be in about January time?
