replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2 The season’s are opposite of the Northern Hemisphere. January is the height of summer and primary travel season. Most people forget that. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A2 First-timers should know that tipping culture is much different in Australia than in the U.S. so read up before you go. Ex: Don’t tip taxi drivers, just round up. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Buy a good guidebook for the flight down so you can learn all the ins and outs. If you want a funny book, read Bill Bryson’s “In a Sunburned Country.” #TravelSkills

A2. First-timer tip for #Australia? It's a huge country. Factor in plenty of time to get around it. #travelskills #eyrepeninsula

A2 Don't try to see too much. Australia is huge, so focus on one region at a time #TravelSkills

A2: Don’t try to do it all. It’s a MASSIVE country, so just pick a couple of spots and enjoy them #TravelSkills @Australia

A2 We have quite a few – one tip is that, unless your budget includes a private jet, plan on taking scheduled flights between most destinations! And we made time to enjoy a sundowner at #Uluru. See all of our #Australia highlights here: https://t.co/lBJKxVbv4P #TravelSkills

A2. Don't try to do it all. @Australia isn't just a country, it's a continent. Flying from one side to the other is a long haul flight! Pick a window seat if you do fly internally! #TravelSkills

A2. Best tip for first time visitors to #Australia would be do a road trip. OZ is best explored on the open road. Some great OZ road trip suggestions here: https://t.co/9J1swbmkIB #TravelSkills #roadtrip #roadtrips

replying to @Australia @Australia A2 Australians are wild about their coffee and have very specific words you should use when ordering it. Flat white? Long black? Here’s a good guide from the tourism folks: https://t.co/tQnJ2e8kMs #TravelSkills

Q1 Hey #TravelSkills I was in Sydney/Blue Mountains in 2013 and in Perth just three months ago. Fun fact: Perth is the furthest city in the world from my city, Ottawa

A2 Don't underestimate distances. There is A LOT to do in and around any major city you visit - hoping to another city/region may not be the best use of your time/money #TravelSkills

A3 I love Sydney so much that I seriously considered changing my first name to Sydney (and still do). It's got glamour, beaches, city vibe, fun people #TravelSkills

A2. Our best tip is to realize that the country is HUGE! Don't try to see everything - pick one part of the country and really dive deep into it. Also, @wickedcampers are a great way to save money and get around while you are there. #TravelSkills
