General Suggestions:
- There 3 theme parks at gold coast: water park and 2 theme park
- I recommend to stay at least 3 days on gold coast
- I would reduce my time on magntic island, not much to do after relaxing on the beach
- Make skydive at carynes, it cost about 200$
- Do not buy tickets for attractions in advance. you can buy at most location on site, and get a special price
- Do more diving, diving with sharks, parks, surf class, horseriding and more
- Best diving site is on white sandy or great barrier reef
- Consider that some of the places requie only 4×4 jeeps to get there
- I would do fraiser island by myself instead with an organized group
- On magentic island should do: seeing coalas, walking in wood, feeding walaby on alma bay, professional diving
- On most places you can extend your stay and add soft short recreations
- At nossa i would stay another night and soaking the atmosphere in city center. very good gelato
- Tasmania is quiet expensive so i recommend to do it by Van, and better around November-December to avoid the harsh cold
- For my prefernce – Tasmania wasn’t so much fun. i rather to spend more time on east coast
- At big cities it better to use public transportation, the parking is very expensive
- Whitsundays is a must to do, no matter the cost
So, this was my first part…
