Great travel deals for US military folk:
A five-night stay in Sydney or Melbourne is available for $838 per person based on double occupancy. The “G’Day Good Deal” packages include three- or four-star accommodations for five nights, round-trip airfare from Los Angeles or San Francisco aboard Qantas Airways and a 15-hour calling card that can be used to dial the United States. Taxes and surcharges are not included in the base price.
These bargain trips (you’ll apparently save around $1,000) are available to active duty, members of the Reserve component, retired military, Department of Defense civilian employees and family members.
- Looks like bloody good value. Hope they can make the offer again in summer. Visiting Australia without spending time at the beach or on the waterways is a handicap.Posted by Stevo on 2006 05 20 at 09:17 AM • permalink

Hey, no worries about that one! They just need to come to Queensland, Broome or Darwin! Winter only applies to the South; that’s why there are so many Mexicans migrating North every year! 🙂

- I dont think this is a good thing. Not even a little bit.
Austalia has:
Spiders that can kill you just by looking at you.
Huge monster snakes.
Crocodiles that pop up out of toilets and get you when most vulerable.
Big hairy spiders that purposly hide in your shoes/boots and can bite through inch thick steel plate armor.
Giant muntant rats that hop and are deadly in hand to hand fighting.
Giant mutant birds that like to kick a man’s guts out.
And, the worst of the worst is the Australians!!What if our guys decide they like it better there? The US stands to loose those of our men and women that are actually willing to stand up and fight back when things get bad to a place that has better beer and generally friendly folk.
This aint good.
- #10 And Grimmy that’s just in the big cities. Wait until they hit the countryside; there’s danger behind every bush & rock ready to gobble them up or sting them to death. That’s why I have mounted a .50 cal on my 4wd and those rocket launchers on the bull bar are for real.
#8 The powers that be have just announced the stinger season is over up here so I can put away my panty hose until November. Good protection from box jelly but a tad too thin against croc teeth. Rumour has it a rogue croc has taken up residence in the park lake in our Port Douglas estate.
Weather wise it looks like the cyclonic infuence has finally cleared off and tourism will pick up considerably.
- Makes you wonder what the multiplier effect might be if Aussie Govt chucked in say $500 aussie dollars as spending money to boot. If it doubled or trebled the bookings it might actually be cashflow positive to govt treasury and what a beaut way to say thanks to US “doing the heavy lifting” and poke the leftie gits in the eye.Posted by the nailgun on 2006 05 21 at 12:29 AM • permalink
- #13 – there is a nude beach in Darwin where you can pick up all kinds of handy tips and points.
Ha Ha
And don’t forget the Drop Bears. Never forget the Drop Bears.

- Jumpin’ Jesus on a Pogo Stick! I might have to look into a little trip down Australia way. I just knew getting shot at by all those 107 mm rockets would pay off some day!Posted by Major John on 2006 05 22 at 09:26 AM • permalink
