Australia vs. NZ?
 

Hey guys,

just wanted your opinions (i couldn't find any threads really related to my question) so here goes:

Is New Zealand worth visiting alongside Australia? Or are they pretty much similar to each other?

Also, If I were to go visit another place in addition to these two places, where would you guys recommend:

- Papua New Guinea
- Samoa
- Vanuatu
- Fiji

My friend and I are thinking of going for 2 weeks in total in end of aug/early september.


Thanks!

I would hit up Fiji in a second, all the smaller islands its a real good place to go to.

bump.

Heading to australia for f1 and my buddies gf is in nz learnding so she's letting me couchsurf.

I'm thinking of checking out tahiti.

Well, Aus is full of beaches and what not, East coast is the way to go. Melbourne's good for shopping/music, Brissy and the Gold Coast are good for partying. Sydney is a cool city too. If you can make it to Cairnes, you should, one of the launching points for the Great Barrier Reef, and that's a must see. Also a huge party city.

NZ is similiar to BC/Vancouver Island for it's geography, not sure about the culture.

fiji, tahiti, ppng, dont go to samoa.. not really exciting... well it is in a way...
