Our son, Oz, is "studying" in Melbourne and we will visit him and tour some of Australia for 3 weeks beginning in mid-Sept. Our itineary is Cairns (4 nights), Melbourne (7 nights), Kangaroo Island (4 nights), and Sydney (3 nights).

We value the information and insights of LCT folks and look forward to your Australia-related postings or e-mails (oldavis3@gmail.com).

Our lodging is set, but we welcome any and all comments about restaurants, sights, shopping, excursions, etc. on our itinerary -- what to see/experience and what to avoid.

BTW, our time in Kangaroo Island is not an issue due to the VERY all-inclusive nature of the spectacular Southern Ocean Lodge (http://www.southernoceanlodge.com).

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
