Travel Review: Luxury South Pacific Vacation, Australia, New Zealand, Sydney, Great Barrier Reef, Blue Mountains Tour, Bondi Beach

Having had a wonderful overview of the cultures and general topography of both New Zealand and Australia, if I could take the trip again, I would focus on fewer places and and more time to self explore (at least 1 day of leisure at each destination).  I would like more physical excursions (Hiking, walking) with less travel time to/from sites. But, that is only for round 2.  I had no idea what to expect, or where to go when we started thinking about this trip. Our agent really gave us a fantastic overview of both New Zealand's North and South Island and Australia's major attractions.
