Brian,
A bit insulting!!
Nearly all your replies are from Australians who are trying to help you!! We
all travel in December/January - but be aware that you need to book ahead -
and be prepared for crowds everywhere that's attractive or interesting!! At
risk of being repetitive - but no 'nosence' - December/January are super
peak vacation time for Australians. Beaches are crowded. Prices are high!!!
But!! Book ahead and there are places to stay - there are things to do!!!
You can have a great time!!! Be flexible - be patient!! Jellyfish never
really worry Australians for reasons already explained! You won't have a
'bad' experience - Australians all have a 'ball' - on holiday!! Why
shouldn't you??????!

Hi Everyone,

My wife and i are planing a 4-5week trip to Australia in december, maybe
that is! Because i have read a couple of places that december is not the
best month to visit AU.

1. because australians themselves are on their long christmas vacation and
therefore, making it almost impossible to find a place to sleep etc.
2. because of the huge amount of box jellyfish, that makes it
life-threatening to go bathing north of Brisbane.

So i would very much like to hear from Australians or people who have been

i
AU in december, who can tell me if this is all nosence or if there is some
truth in it.
I visited this beautiful country the first time in march 2000 and it was
just perfect. Therefore i would like to avoid getting a bad experience by
going the wrong time of year, so please help me by responding here, or
direct on my email

Thanks a lot
