sure we paid like $20 a day when the exhcnage rate was almost $3 to £1. between two it was dirt cheap, i didnt do the full trip but the others were out there for a month. One of my mates wrote of the camper van and the insurance didnt pay out and hes still got £8k left to pay

he rolled a camper on a non bitchamen (sp) road which the insurance is invalid, he would have got away with it but the rangers that pulled the car onto its feet called an ambulance who submitted a report which the insurance company got hold off, before they arrived back in the UK they had charged the security/deposit card £11k they managed to get £1300 back as salvage but hes still paying it off, will have to get the pics and videos from him, they drove for 250 miles without a windscreen lol

Statravel were good for me, I planned a round the world trip with me and 2 friends - the round the world tickets work out cheaper if your doing muiltiple stops!

Travelling anywhere across the world is awesome, I've done Thaliand, Austrailia, Fiji, Hawaii and USA and loved it!

If you can afford to and have the time then Melbourne up to Cairns is the trip to do. Visit Melbourne, Sydney, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Fraser Island, Whitsunday, Cairns. They're the main places that you'd want to go to and then maybe a few of the other places in between as well
