hi,
i will be travelin soon in austrailia, i am goin on a connections travel tour and it will half end in cairns and i need to make my way over to new zealand, i read a post about bein able to "surface from cairns to auckland new zealand" but no directions of to how i go about this
has anyone ever done this and if so could you tell me how please or if you have any ideas anyhthing would be a help or would i be better of adding this plane trip to my round the world ticket?? xx
Reply to this Years ago freighter travel was very cheap but it has become so popular that they now charge around US$100 per day.As Brisbane-Aukland can take over a week and the similar airfare can be under AUD$300 ,flying is definately the cheaper choice.I have had friends who have crewed on yachts ,usually Gold Coast-Aukland ,but they were very experienced sailors.I doubt a novice could get passage as this can be a very rough journey.
I am Australian but I tell everyone I meet who is going to Australia that if they don't add New Zealand to their journey they really are missing out.It is such an incredible ,diverse and friendly country.
