Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

I would highly recommend this travel team for any big trip. Leading up to the trip, they gave us everything we needed for planning purposes, kept in touch very consistently leading up to the trip.
2 things of note:
1. As the trip began, there was a problem with the airline cancelling a leg of our flight. This team was 100% on top of the problem and got us free hotel and meal accommodations from the airline to cover the time we had to wait to board a different flight.
2. While we were in Australia, I had a direct line, via text, to the travel agent. It was very comforting to know, being in a different, unfamiliar country, that if we had any problems, I had a direct access to somebody to get it resolved.
In short, we were extremely satisfied with the services provided by this travel team!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We actively ranked each item on the trip, and what stood out as the winner was the White Water Rafting trip down the Tully River. It was 5 hours of rafting in amazingly beautiful rain forest, surrounded by waterfalls.
A close second was Scuba Diving in the Great Barrier Reef. None of us had ever done this before, so it was a very surreal experience. One that we'll never forget.
Also notable for a next trip was Sydney, in general. Just a beautiful city. As we were eating dinner outside the Sydney Opera House, we were surprised by a fireworks show. Got some amazing, postcard worthy photos out of that surprise. :)

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

The unanimous thing that we liked the least was, albeit necessary, the time spent in airplanes and shuttles during the trip. For example, even though the white water rafting trip was the our favorite part, the shuttle to get there and back to our hotel took more than 4 hours of the day.
All this means for next time is that we would ask about transit distance between hotel and destination while choosing activities. The sticky wicket about that is that we might have missed out on white water rafting, had we taken that into account . . .
