Q&A: Looking for a cheap holiday in Australia/America or anywhere else that you recommend?
Question by Tracey<3: Looking for a cheap holiday in Australia/America or anywhere else that you recommend?
OK, so, this year I really want to go on a nice holiday away from the UK like Australia or America.
I’m looking for an “extreme” holiday (I’d like to bungie jump and similar things), somewhere where you can’t get bored and even if you don’t want to have everyday planned in advance, there’s still lots to do in the area. We would want to rent a car, and it would preferably be for 10-14 days.
Please can you post me some links to some websites where you can book online.
Thanks a bunch.

Australia is a huge country, so 10 – 14 days wouldn’t really let you see much, nor are we the extreme capital. You could go diving or do a bridge climb or sky diving.
But I would go to New Zealand, it is a bit cheaper as their dollar sucks more then ours. In Queenstown you have heaps of extreme sports including the worlds biggest bungy, jet boating, etc..
If you stick to the south island you could easily do it in 10 days.

Agree with Mel, south Island NZ esp Queenstown would be a good choice, or otherwise in Australia I’d suggest dividing your time between the Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise) and Cairns.
Queenstown is famous as the ‘extreme’ destination of the world (hang-gliding, bungee, whitewater rafting, jet-boating, skiiing in winter etc. The weather is cool however.
If you want warmth stick to Australia. The Gold Coast has beaches, theme parks and heaps of tourist activities, and Cairns has the Great Barier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, crocodile tours and plenty more.
