I did it... I officially booked my trip!!! There's no backing out now :) I'm going through a company called Oz Experience (www.ozexperience.com). They're a backpacker tour company and it's a hop on hop off bus from Sydney to Cairns. I have 21 days to use my pass (Perfect, since I won't be there for much longer!). With it I get a free day trip to Hunter Valley (http://www.winecountry.com.au/)- complete with wine tasting tour and a stop at Kuringai-Chase National Park. I'll only have a short time in Sydney, since I can't leave the US any earlier, but that just means I'll have to make the most of it! I'll also be spending the night at a cattle ranch (where I'll learn how to lasso a goat... love it!) and a surf camp. Add in an afternoon stop to play barefoot Aussie lawn bowling- some random Aussie activity- and a trip to the crocodile farm, and it'll be a pretty authentic Australian experience.
I'll be planning my itinerary here pretty soon and will be booking all my buses way ahead of time. Sometimes they get so busy that you'll get stuck for a few days if you haven't booked ahead- since I have limited time that's not really something I'm okay with, although getting stranded on a beach isn't too bad either :)
