My husband and I want to take a vacation to Australia in December. Need advice!?

Question

I know Dec is a hot month there, but it is the only time we will have at least a week to be gone. Is it better to take a cruise or to just fly there? What type of price range are we looking at?

Answer 1

Fly here, December can get hot, however January can be dreadfully hot. I dont know where you are however, Accomodation is a very similar standard/price to the US. (went there last year and loved it) Food is more expensive. (went to Dennys in ohio for 4 people, with tips total was $50, over here it would be more like $90, and don't tip) I always go on the packet of cigarettes and six pack of beer comparison. A pack of cigarettes will cost $10.50 and a six pack of beer will cost around $14.00.  Everything is around the same price difference. Petrol is around $1.70 a litre ($6.50 Gallon) Whereas Diesel is $1.90 a Litre ($7.20 Gallon) Although everything is much more expensive, Australia is a country with so many unique things, you wont be disappointed. You need much more than a week, get as much time as you can. Have fun when you get here.
