Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Vacation Review: Port Douglas, Great Barrier Reef, Melbourne, Rotorua, Queenstown

There were a couple of excursions that did not make great use of our time and the Mossman Gorge wasn't very good (best avoided). On the Daintree River Discovery cruise we did not see any crocodiles or much else of interest (no explanations). It could have been much shorter or avoided.

We loved some of the sites on the Great Ocean Road tour, but it was way too long for the sites we were able to see. The Blue Mountain tour was also very long, but much more personalized and with a smaller van and group. There was a lot more discussion and touring around the forests and sights.

We wished we had more time in Melbourne. We loved this city. The more we saw, the more we wanted to see. Also, Christchurch, where we had a morning to tour around our hotel, which we loved. We would have liked more time there too.
