  Budget Travel to Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Alice Springs         


Author: Qanset
Date: Dec 25, 2008 18:25

I was absolutely startled at how expensive Hotels and Motels are in
Uluru. Too make matters worse I will be arriving 1st JUly 09 which is
the start of the peak season. Alice Springs is definitely NOT expensive
with a better choice of hotels and prices.

Package tours for 3 days to Uluru/Kings Canyon/Alice Springs start from
$710.00.

Does anydody out there have any thoughts or suggestions in doing it on
the cheap.??????

TIA

THE outlook is bleak. Melbourne, not Sydney, is Australia's city of
the future.

A world study evaluated cities on their efforts to improve
sustainability including public transport, local economy, environment,
health, education, recreation and living standards. Melbourne rated
sixth on the top 10 list of sustainable cities and Sydney was nowhere
to be seen. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/sydney-suffers-and-the-winner-ismelbourne/2008/09/13/1220857897713...

Socceroos - Australian Football Team

A week in football the Soccerros on cloud nine

The broad appeal of Australia’s beloved Socceroos came to the fore
last week when Pim Verbeek’s men embarked on their final journey to
the 2010 World Cup. Their first assignment was in Tashkent, the
capital of Uzbekistan in Central Asia. It could have been the
mystique surrounding their destination, a reaction to the Australians’
stunning 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in Eindhoven the week before
or the realisation that we are now in the final straight of
qualifying.
