Its good I found this link. I will review your report in detail to assist us with our trip to Australia/New Zealand next year. Just browsing through I can see a lot work was put in posting but also a report of a very successful and enjoyable trip.

What an excellent report.
I really like the way you organised each segment so all one needs to do is click.
You were certainly rushed with only a short stay in each location!
I have never understood why anyone would climb Urulu when it is made very obvious to all who go there that this is not wanted by the aboriginal people. The walk round is fine. Why do people want to be offensive? Seems ignorant to me.

Most likely the walk around is not appreciated nor are the tourist period. That typically is so everywhere unless the natives have an interest in it. I certainly don't care for the "outsiders" in my neighborhood park or even in my back alley.

Thanks for the compliments! We definitely kept moving during our trip in order to see a lot - it is the price we pay for limited vacation time.

That said, thanks for this report, though it is too late for us - we already returned from our trip to Australia before I saw your report :-)
One more question - how do you get to imbed the maps? I want to add that to my reports as well.

I second your sentiments. We are in the same boat ... well, plus we pay for the trips too, as we don't have so many points accumulated :-(

The maps are images - I use gcmap to render the images and then save the images. So, the maps are embedded the same way as all of the other photos.
