Filed under: Australia, Travel — Admin @ 10:54 am

I dont know what you think about australia and new zealand,but they are some best countries i have ever seen.Qantas is major australian airline and it provides very good service.No delays.cruises like star cruise has departure from mumbai,singapore,pattaya or hong kong to australian coasts.Sydney,gold coast…

But from australia too you have ships sailing to fiji islands,vanuatu,apia-samoa,cook islands,etc.New zealand is another natural beauty.Truly fantastic.Pollution free.Mounatins and snows all that.Star cruise offers holiday packages to travel there.Australia has that power to create artificial coasts.Cost of being there is not hefty.You can pretty settle down for a fortnight in $1000 easily.You can even get for $500.A worthwile experience.This i am telling in respect to fact that you live or traveling from south asia.

Travel New zealand

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 6:35 pm

New zealand is one of the most preferred destination in south pacific and ocenia area and if you are upto Australia then i advise you not to look back for going to New zealand.It has one of the most admirable and breathe taking sceneric view in ocenia.The capital of New zealand is Wellington inspite of Aucland being the largest city.A mere population of 4 million(4,00,000) with Currency as New zealand Dollar NZ$.Here you are prone to do lots of out door activities specially like skiing,rafting in rivers,hiking,swimming,etc. and watch dolphins and whales and other beautiful marine life.Kiwi is new zealands national animal and here you will be exposed to large variety of flora and fauna.Evergreen forests prevail here and fantastic beaches which are most preferred during summer time.

        Summer time here starts from November to april where native childrens have holidays and there is inflow of tourists.So better to book in advance because its difficult to get priority during christmas especially.Even winters are good time.South island of new zealand has high speed winds during winters.Northern new zealand is bit mild than southern part.

         Auckland was my first destination.Wellington is connected with all international flights and even auckland.There are lots of glaciers and snow filled mountains.Snow fall is heavy in winter.Ski resorts like queenstown is full in summer.75% population is christian.More information in next article.Cook mountain is the highest mountain peak in new zealand.

There are a lot of people who love Australia, and majority of British people move to Australia being it such an adorable country. One of the plus points of Australia is that it has beautiful weather and beautiful surrounding, which makes people get addicted to the country. One of the most popular destinations in Australia is Melbourne and Sydney, which both are full of fun activities and entertainment.

Australia,Beware ozone

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 12:56 pm

Most people do know that there is a large hole in ozone layer above australia as a result UV rays are easily infiltrated on the main land,that is on Australia.Thats is why skin cancer is very much in evidence here in Australia.So while traveling australia or that region you can buy a UV ray protection skin cream and apply on your uncovered parts of the body while going out anywhere.Thats will protect you from harmful UV rays which can in long run lead to skin cancer.Here you can easily get best UV rays protection cream.

    More thana australia,new zealands natural scenery is fine and both the countries combined trip will get you a great deal on traveling.I have been roaming here in this continent and you can be pretty sure to enjoy fantastic time.The country new zealand is truly heavenly bode with white puffed hills.The greenery with snow is perfect blend of nature.There are parties too at nights and water sports for enjoyement.There are various flights from australia to new zealand.There are regular flights to auckland,wellington,christchurch and to other destinations too.New zealand is divided in two lands,the upper part and south part.One interesting fact i would tell you New zealand doesn’t have a special army as most nations have but only general cops.You need to duly complete your legal procedures to enter here.

Samoa,Apia

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 12:37 pm

Australia being main continent has several other places too worth more visiting.These are islands beside them.Like fiji and other like vanuatu.Another notable island is Samoa.A great place to relax after my tiring work schedule.You will land your flight at Faleolo airport and pay tax of departure(i hate that) of St$30.The currency here is Tala(ST).There are bus services,ferry services and hired cars too.Sometimes i think these islands make me remeber carribean whose speciality was grand beaches best ever seen with loads of activities like rafting,surfing,boating and seeing coral reefs and marine life too.

        The Upolu’s south coast is a great beach side and that’s where you would find interest and people.Lots of surf and not deep reefs to emjoy and experience.Samoa is a bit hot and you will be frustrated about it if you wonder much outside.Robert louis stevenson museum is another place.Papasee’s sliding rock is another destination.It is a water fall in the pool and water levels vary according to season.In winter till jun the water level is good and you will love it.At summers they drasticallly fall.

  Lake lanoto is also known as goldfish lake there.Somewhat clearly greenish lake colour.You can do picnicking here and also together swimming.

I have mostly traveled by ferries at samoa between 2 islands.Buses are time consuming and waste patience.

Cairns,Australia

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 3:30 pm

No doubt that important cities like Sydney,melbourne,adelaide,brisbane,etc are all along the coast.And so is shining cairns.Much inflow of tourists is seen in cairns.There is limitless shopping,dining and hotels and pomp festivals.The great barrier reef of Australia is accessible from here.Just a population of 1.25 lac people and currency here is Australian Dollar(A$).The climate is moderate in cairns.You have many options to travel in cairns and Cairns International airport serves some major places of the world.You can even opt for Airlines or have trains in Queensland state.

You get yourself a bike hired and roam around the city with laws.You have Black and white taxi’s too.There are bus services and trains services too.You can hire a car too.In September the Cairns Festival final takes place and you see variety and quantity of food,oops! Delicious food.Street parades take places and fireworks,etc. are done.

Cook islands and New Zealand

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 1:37 pm

Cook islands and New Zealand are other fantastic spots you might like to visit after Golden Australia.Other islands like Vanuatu and Fiji are also visited by me but new Zealand i think must be visited because now i have come as far as Australia,i must surely visit New Zealand.New Zealand as far as i know posses fantastic things like skeing,sight seeing,clubs and bars,beers and wines and at beach not to mention surfing and having bath.

  From australia you can go to new zealand or from your home destination too.Requires duly affirmed Visa.One interesting thing about New Zealand that New Zealand doesn’t have military army for countries protection.Sound’s fake?Its real that it has no special army like US military troop or Indian army.of course cops and polices are here and they are only used while any sort of danger or police force needed for any protection,etc.The country doesn’t spend uselessly crores of rupees on maintaining army.

    well, i would certainly like to see what new zealand is about with mountains,lush green forests and good people i suppose.

Travel Fiji islands

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 1:26 pm

At my gracious tour to Australia,avoiding Fiji islands was not much practically possible by me.So from Gold coast i took my towards Fiji islands for just pretty $1100 about exactly.Fiji islands are great place to relax back with great modern amenities provided.Of course they are famous all round the world and summer time you expect a rush in people having great fun at this island.I had my visit particularly to Denarau islands.

      The main resorts here are Sheraton Fiji,Sheraton denarau and Westin resort and spa center too.These are 5 start resorts for your complete stay.All are best resorts.Here you can enjoy your way you want with golf and tennis courts provided.Main thing i expect you to to is that on a beachy place like fiji is to be on beach,clear crystal blue water with white sands.Spa at westin resort was good smoothing to my tired body.I did a bit of massage and treatment here.Lay back at sun on the beach and let yourself have mild sunbath.Have splashes in blue water and do surfing if waves support you.There are resorts swimming pools too.Sports equipment and recreational spots.

      All here is luxurious.I suppose most of packages to Fiji will be of 4-5 days and its quite good visiting it.Plan your trip in advance to avoid justly.Try to be organized and then you can be unorganized.
