So after discussing the matter with moish, when finally meeting him in person for the first time ever (and for the record, he's not
nearly as scary in real life as he is on DDF
), I'm contemplating just arriving and staying in MEL for the first weekend, doing the GOR on Sunday and Monday, heading somewhere GBR-related from Tuesday morning to Friday morning, SYD from Friday to Sunday, and then bouncing Sunday morning at 10 AM.
What do you guys think of that? And if it's a good idea, where GBR-related should I go? Objectives would be diving at the GBR, and seeing nice scenery in the area (Whitsundays?)
