I don't know too much about the land down under, but I hear the Sydney Opera House is absolutely gorgeous.

The Great Barrier Reef is always a hit with tourists.

John's Tattoo Parlour/ Brothel/ Car Wash/ Family Restaurant is famous world-wide, a must see.

If you have the time also head up to the rain forest areas and out into the outback. The terrain and wildlife is so uniquely Australian

Steve Irwin is a pretty typical Austrlian, although more sophisticated than most.

Auckland the major NZ city (where i live) is just a few hours flight from Sydney

Your money wil go for miles

the Kiwi dollar is is worth about 40c US, the Aus is probably about 50c US

It's the main reason i hate buying from the US :(

If you do come over pop me a PM and i will shout you some beers.

The South Island is much prettier than the North if you can get down there
