The Broccolis will be spending 6 weeks in the antipodes July-August. (I know, it will be winter. We will probably take a side trip to Queenstown NZ for some skiing) I'm looking for interesting places to spend time with Mrs. Broccoli and our 2 boys 12 and 14. Although the boys would like the world to be one giant theme park, I would like to show them some more authentic Australia while still holding their interest. We'll get their theme park itch out with a few days in the Gold Coast area. I'm hoping to spend more time (a week or two) on the North Queensland coast, perhaps Atherton or Daintree. I would appreciate any recommendations of places, activities, or accomodations we should consider. We are more interested in unique experiences and connection with the place than luxury or a vast panoply the same activities that can be had at any beachside in the world. Thanks is advance for your comments.
