Hello OZ VAF members
I am looking for advice on visiting Australia and perhaps meeting fellow RV builders/pilots. Since this is only marginally RV related, if you wish to respond perhaps PM would be better.
Here is some background:
Our daughter has been accepted as an international exchange student at James Cook University in Townsville, QLD. She will be leaving in July. She has corresponded with an internet pal in Townsville for the past 6 - 7 years, so she will be meeting and going to school with a friend she has known long distance since she was 14. Our family is pretty excited because we have skyped with that young woman and her family.
Even though we understand it won't be the best time of year to be tourists, Jan and I are considering a 3 week vacation that would overlap the end of our daughter's semester at James Cook U.
Any advice you could give would be wonderful. I like to fly my RV-6A because it also gives me the opportunity to land anywhere there is a strip and meet the locals. Since the only choice for us will be commercial airline transportation I am considering a bus or rail pass for the QLD portion of the travel. I would like to know if either is a decent choice.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
