A3. Don't know if it counts as a city, but #ByronBay was pretty great. It was likely because we were there for the Blues Fest - which was by far the BEST concert event we have ever been too! Discovered @matt_andersen & @KimChurchill there. #TravelSkills

A4. Most surprising thing about #Australia for most first time visitors is the size. We are BIG, almost as big as USA. 1 week is never enough, minimum of 2 weeks at very least, preferably 1 month :) #TravelSkills
