2006 trip to Australia

Bikerchick-not sure if this would interest you-Why not take the GHAN (train) from Adelaide to Darwin..It spans the length of aus and it's just won one of the top AUS tourism awards...

crazycanuck is right this would be a lovely trip. I lived in Adelaide for several years and it is a lovely little historic city. No big traffic jams there. If you were to drive from Melbourne up to Adelaide you could take the Great Ocean Road and visit the 12 Apostles. It is a very scenic drive with lovely cliffs although Im not sure ships thought so as plenty were wrecked on a stretch call shipwreck coast.

The Alice is a great place and so is Darwin but getting a big hot this time of year.

thanks crazycanuck! that's another great suggestion we'll have to look into... that might allow us to see more while including some food/accomodation as well... I will definitely want time to explore each stop so will look into this for sure!
