Travel Review; Tour of Australia & Fiji, Sydney, Cairns, Uluru, Phillip Island, Mossman Gorge, Great Barrier Reef, Bridge Climb

We just returned from the most amazing trip to Australia and Fiji over a three week period that cover Melbourne, the Great Ocean Drive to Port Campbell, the Penguin parade at Phillip's Island, Uluru in Ayers Rock, The Silky Oaks Lodge in Mossman Gourge, Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas, and Sydney.  I can not say enough good things about our travel agent with this company, who is Australian.  When I told our agent we didn't want to "just see" Australia - we wanted to "do" Australia - she got me and "do" we did.  We traveled with another couple so she was flexible to change our travel flights and tours as our "hot buttons" were discovered in the planning process.  Our trip was packed full of activities yet left room to relax and enjoy the fabulous hotels she booked for us.  Our favorite with the Silky Oaks Lodge which is literally built in the trees of the rainforest with the sounds of the babbling river below coming through out windows.  It was the best "sound machine" ever for sleeping.  We stayed at Mantangi Island in Fiji, a private island that is adult only and first class.  It was full of honeymooners and offered beautiful snorkeling and other activities daily.  Our burre (room) was gorgeous and the food was excellent and greatly varied with different menus daily.  I highly recommend this resort where the staff and accommodations are excellent.  I actually cried to say goodbye to our Fiji friends as we left.  I had visited Australia 13 years ago and thought that trip was great but it didn't hold a candle to the sights and tours we enjoyed this trip.  Well done and thank you for making our "retirement" trip extra special.
