Introduction
This is none other than a celebratory trip for friendship!
An invitation to all of us to strike that one thing off our bucket list: aerial sports.
Now that all of us are in our late twenties (not a reminder of how old you are; reminder of
how much more to achieve!), let’s go YOLO for once.
This would also be our first overseas trip together as friends who have known each other for
years.
Hoping this trip will become a once in a life time event and once upon a time story for us
all to share with our friends.
I ‘ve come up with itinerary for 4 parts of Australia. All you have to do is just pick and choose
which part of Australia that you would like to do your skydiving.
If Cairns is chosen, then the trip will be a ten (10) day trip, and we will have more
complications on the transportation, but activities wise, it’s top-notch.
For full and abreast information of the places, do click on the link at the footnote.
Enjoy the read and let me know your feedback!

Sydney
The Harbour City of Australia; largest, older and cosmopolitan city of all cities in
Australia.
Sydney is separated into the following districts:
Central Sydney
- City Centre - The Rocks - Darling Harbour - City South, East & West

Greater Sydney (surrounds Central Sydney)
- Eastern Suburbs - Southern Sydney -

Lower North Shore - Upper North Shore - Northern Beaches - North West - Parramatta - Sutherland Shire - South West - Outer West
We will be exploring most of Central Sydney and a few locations of Greater Sydney.
a.
Transportation
Air Transportation
Our preferred air carrier is AirAsia. By far, AirAsia offers the cheapest rates for return tickets.The total sum of the tickets for 7 persons is approximately RM10,998.48= RM1831.43 perperson.However, I have one concern about AirAsia: Comfort level. The hour of flight will be 9 hours++ from Kuala Lumpur to Australia. If comfort is a problem then, please do let us know.

Car RentalIn order to get most out of our Sydney Trip, Lou Fu & I had spoken about renting a car.
With a car, we will be able to roam around Sydney as locals.
As renting a car from the car rentals at the Airport Terminal is more expensive, Bays WaterCar Rental would be a better car rental to choose from to rent a car as it offers competitiverates for travelers.
We are looking to rent an 8 seater car – Toyota Tarago.The rate for the car for the duration of our stay would be $623++AusD(Approx RM1,833,00 = RM278.57 per person). Click here for the link.The GPS would be charged at $5AUS per day.
Do let me know your opinion on this.
Connectivity
Two Optus Mobile Sim Card with internet connectivity. Although Ah Ping has one with heralready, for safety purposes, two more mobile sims would be ideal for situations where partof the group would like to rest whilst the others wish to explore on their own. And, of course,for uploading and spamming photos on Fb, Instagram and whichever social mediaplatforms.
This then brings us to accommodation. Since we are already renting a car and obtaining twomobile sim cards, having an accommodation located further from the city wouldn’t be aproblem.
b.
Accommodation
River Side Modern House
I could only find one in Earlwood, Sydney. A place located 20-30 minutes away from
the Sydney City Center. Earlwood, Sydney is a safe neighbourhood to stay at for the
duration of the trip.

Melbourne
The second largest city in Australia that houses the Port Phillip Bay. As it is a quieter
city, it will not be as happening as Sydney.
As Melbourne city is built in an orderly manner, car rental in Melbourne may notnecessary.

Air transportation
Our preferred air carrier is still AirAsia. The cheapest rates for return tickets.The total sum of the tickets for 6 persons is approximately RM9,762.48= RM1,627.08per person.
However, I have one concern about AirAsia: Comfort level. The hour of flight will be9 hours ++ from Kuala Lumpur to Australia. If comfort is a problem then, please do

Brisbane
Ah Ping’s territory!! Whoooooo!!
a.
Transportation
Air transportation
Unfortunately, there isn’t any direct flight offered by AirAsia and Mas. We would thenhave to stop at Sydney and to change to local flight (Qantas) to Brisbane.
This is the cheapest option thus far to travel to Brisbane.
Car Rental
Car is unnecessary in Brisbane as many locations are easily accessible via cycling and
walking.
Connectivity
One Optus Mobile Sim Card is all we need because we have Ah Ping!! Since Brisbane
is her territory, we’re just going to chillax if ever Brisbane is the selected place to go
to.

The gateway to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia’s most pride DaintreeRainforest and Cape Tribulation. This is the Tropical North Queensland, Australia.

Transportation
Air Transportation
There are a few options to travel to Cairns. Lou & I had meticulously checked
the various options available online. These are the options:
Option No.1:
7/25/2019 Itinerary Australia - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Cairns
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/itinerary-australia-sydney-melbourne-brisbane-or-cairns 27/32
PAGE 26
The first option would require us to fly via AirAsia to Gold Coast and from GoldCoast to take an Air train to Brisbane and from Brisbane take a local flight(Qantas) to Cairns.
Although this travel routine may appear to be tiring, this is the cheapest optionthus far.
7/25/2019 Itinerary Australia - Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Cairns
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/itinerary-australia-sydney-melbourne-brisbane-or-cairns 28/32
PAGE 27
The approximate total is this: -Rm11,034.38 + Rm185.00 = RM11,219.38 (approximate amount)/6 person.
That would be RM1,869.90 per person for 6 pax
From thereon, we then take the local flight (Qantas) to Cairns. The air fare perperson would be approximately RM712.00. With the aggregate amount ofRM4983.00 (approximately).
For the 6 persons who are travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Cairns, the totalamount for the flight ticket would be RM1,869.90 + RM712.00 = RM2,581.90.
We shall cap this amount at RM2,800.00 / RM2,600.00.
Option No.2
This option is a less tiring travel routine. This travel routine would be to takeMalaysian Airlines and Qantas.
This flight routine would entail having to fly over to Sydney via Malaysian Airlinesand to have a layover of approximately 2 hours at the Sydney International Airportand then take Qantas to fly over to Brisbane and from Brisbane another Qantasflight to Cairns. We will only be reaching nightfall on the 12th December 2016.
b.
Accommodation
With accommodation, we have several options for you guys to choose from. Theseaccommodations are near to the city.

Option No.2
This house is a designer house, called harvester house. The house is spacious
and it is well decorated and facilitated.46
Car Rental
We will be getting the car after our skydiving activity, on 16th December t0 19th
December 2016. This is because there will be pickups and returns available for the
3-day skydiving activity. We are of the opinion that having a car on the first 4
days of the trip will not be value for money that we’re paying for the car rental.
Connectivity
We are going to have 2 mobile sim cards for this location. As this location requires
us to travel around by car. The reason for 2 mobile sim cards: 1 for contact and
internet connectivity; 1 for GPS.

This is the end of the itinerary. I hope the format of the itinerary is clear enough. There arecertain information not included in Cairns and Brisbane as there are lesser activities to do
in those two cities.
