Probably the wrong time to be asking this but the missus and I will be spending 3 weeks in Australia in April. Flying in and out of Sydney staying with my sister whilst we are there. What sort of things do people recommend? We were thinking of hiring a camper van and doing a bit of a road trip up to Cairns but considering the flooding in Queensland we may go south instead. We also want to do the usual stuff, Alice Springs, Great Barrier Reef, Blue Mountains etc but what else do people recommend?

Shockingly there's not that much to do apart from the beach and beach related activities.

Sydney is ok.

Melbourne is the nicer city, and you'll say it's like Manchester as i did!

Ergo, Sydney to Melbourne in a campervan along the Great Ocean Road without any schedule would be brilliant.

Blue Mountains and the Barrier Reef are "must do's".
If you can get to Cairns go to the Great Barrier Reef on the "quicksilver" catamaran.
