A6: Due to weather I couldn’t visit the northern half of Western Australia, would love to go back and do that. Also more of the Top End, especially Darwin. #Travelskills @Australia

A6. Some off-the-beaten-path places in #Australia I'd most like to see more of would be "The Kimberleys" in WA. I think people should head west and visit WA. We have done some of WA, for example here: https://t.co/VOs5JcehP6 #TravelSkills @WestAustralia #justanotherdayinWA

A6. I'd like to visit the islands off the East Coast of @Australia and the Northern Territory -- only saw Uluru from the window of the #FSJet and I'd love to see it from the ground. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills If you've got the time and the money, Broome and Uluru are the best! If your in Melbourne, then Phillip Island and The Great Ocean Road are doable as day trips. #TravelSkills

replying to @reason2roam1 @reason2roam1 @jkpittman That sounds awesome, have a great trip (s)! We are taking things easy for a bit, Ottaw in two weeks and then Cuba, but after that, it's home time for a while. :) #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis Would love to go back to Fraser Island. We took a four-seater plane to get there and landed on the sandy shores of 75-Mile Beach. It was an unforgettable experience. It didn’t hurt that our pilot was super cute, too. Looked like Owen Wilson 😂 #TravelSkills

Fraser Island is a must visit in Australia. Rent a 4WD and drive the world's largest sand island! https://t.co/wkfIqtXNkO #TravelSkills

A6 - We need to get into the Outback. not that that is off the beaten track..but still need to see it. If you are heading to Australia, this off the beaten track spot was pretty cool: The Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains @jenolanmagic it was awesome! #TravelSkills

replying to @theplanetd @theplanetd @jkpittman Me too! I just went on a cruise and now I can’t wait to go back. There is so much to see! #TravelSkills

A7 Our editor's recommendation (they often read books by locals about the destination as trip prep): “The Birth of Sydney,” by Tim Flannery, which features a collection of firsthand descriptions of the city dating from its founding in 1788: https://t.co/x3OrW77pxd #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 I lived in Mt. Isa when Meryl Streep filmed “A Cry in the Dark” there. The “dingo stole my baby” movie, which is excellent if you’ve not seen it. #TravelSkills

A7: Song, book that inspires me to go to #Australia? "Power and the Passion" by Aussie band Midnight Oil. Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburnt Country." #travelskills
