That’s me all booked and doing the sailing. I am traveling from Scotland – where is everyone else traveling from? I will also be traveling solo so will be good to get to know some of you before the trip.
I am thinking of staying in Sydney for an extra few days after the tour. L- 1 person likes this

Hi!, I’m doing this tour in October!
I think you do need a visa.. I’m from the Netherlands and needed one. You can easily get it online linked to your passport. Not sure which site anymore but when you google it you should be able to find it!
It’s just answering some questions and filling in your passport details. I got an email the next morning that it was accepted! Make sure you don;t need a new passport! Cause then you need to change that again!
Hope this helps :)- 0 people like this

Whats the time difference between switzerland and australia?! :o i dont even know. but, depending on the time difference. id say get to dawrin for the 26th, so you can sleep all day then when the tour starts you’ll be wide away. i mean the differences for me is half an hour or something, but im still going there a day early.. if that helps :)

Hi Guys. Im Renee, 24 years old and travelling on this tour by myself. This is my second contiki tour. I am from Brisbane, Australia and the tour goes right through my home town LOL but I am doing it because I havent seen alot of Australia (only Brisbane and I lived on Fraser Island growing up). I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and make some more new friends!! xxxxx

Hi all
I’m doing this tour too and am travelling solo. I’m from London. I’m actually doing the Fiji stopover first (where I will be for Christmas) then this tour followed by three extra nights in Sydney – wanted to do the Sydney tour but there aren’t any running.
Really really nervous but looking forward to making lots of new friends….can’t believe how quickly it is coming around!!

Hi L. I asked Contiki to help book my flights-I gave them the dates along with the airport I wanted to fly from (so Heathrow), and they emailed me a quote. All I then had to do was pay for them. I tried to do it myself but asked Contiki as they know what’s ‘best’. Was a lot less stressful! Just need to sort my travel insurance now. C x

I don’t have a manual, or a clue on how to use it (setting up the right lens (H X 25mm is in at the moment but I have 6 others) and finding basic constellations .
