Only places that a definately on the agenda so far are Sydney and Canberra.
Also whats the general opinion of airlines..I've heard recently that Qantas are maybe not as good as Cathay and Singapore airlines?
thanks for any help!
Hi, 3 of us are planning a trip to Australia next april for just short of 3 weeks (our eldest daughter is studying in Canberra for a year so we're going to see her). Our main problem is that we would like to visit a few different places but need accomodation with 2 bedrooms.. 2 x hotel rooms for 3 people works out expensive, hostels that Ive seen seem to be dorms or family rooms (ie 1 room sleeps 3..NOT what we were looking for) and apartments (ideal) seem to have minimum stays or 4 or 5 nights...GGrrrrr Does anybody know of any agencies or companies that would be able to help?:

I would try Trailfinders to start with. I haven't been to Australia yet but these folks are pretty flexible.
Can't help with accommodation but we've visited Australiia about ten times in the last few years and have used a variety of airlines. If you are traveling economy unless you don't need as much legroom as possible I would pick either Singapore or Cathay over Qantas. We've also used Emirates and Malaysian and found them also to be more comfortable legroom wise than Qantas. We've also found the worst to be B.A. Hope this helps

Have a look at this firm for Canberra. The accommodation in Oz is NOT the cheap option it used to be when the X-Rate was $2.55 to the £.
Just Google Caravan Parks in Sydney for cheaper option of chalets in that area, but on average you'll be looking at a minimum of £100 a night for a room in a hotel/motel. Much cheaper inland.
For flights, look at Emirates. Qantas share their flights with BA on a lot of routes and I wouldn't use them again

Re the last post, qantas has changed it's hub frob Singapore to Dubai and as a consequence is now code sharing with Emirates. If using a booking online agent such as dialaflight.com or others, make sure you insist that all your flights Emirates ones. If booking direct on Emirates website make sure you are on a flight of Emirates and not a Qantas one as its an easy mistake to make.
