Over the past few weeks I have booked lodging in Melbourne, Alice Springs, Perth, and Darwin, Australia.  I’m still working on lodging in Cairns.  I’m having trouble finding a scuba dive operator in Cairns.  I have 2 replys that their boats are not at all accessible.  Still working on flights to get around New Zealand and Australia but the window is still too far out to book on the low cost airlines.   I have emails out for 4×4 adventure tours in Queenstown, NZ and Alice Springs, AUS and bungy jumping in Queenstown.  While I’m in Wellington, NZ one of the best rugby tournaments, Rubgy Sevens, will be taking place and hopefully I can get tickets.
