Travel Review: Australia, Sydney, Brisbane, Coober Pedy, Kangaroo Island, Great Barrier Reef, Blue Mountains, Great Ocean Road

As this was the first time we had organized a trip through Zicasso, we were nervous about reservations and connections. Absolutely everything went smoothly. On the two occasions when I needed to contact someone - once to the travel company and once to a vendor - I was able to get through immediately. We had no concern about our accommodations, travel arrangement and tours. There were no extra costs. 

We appreciated the accommodation to our own personal agendas, including two days in Coober Pedy and a stay at Curtin Springs. We booked a tour of the station at Curtin Springs on our own and highly recommend it in the event that other clients want a station experience like we did. 

The hotels generally were OK and some were fabulous. One was sub-par and Zicasso was grateful for our feedback on this item. On the whole, we were satisfied with the choice of accommodations given the parameters that we had provided. 

We had some issues with the car rentals. We have had credit car charges from Hertz when everything was supposed to have been covered. On our last rental from Brisbane to Sydney, the car return address on our itinerary was incorrect, resulting in extra tolls to find the right place.
