On Saturday I spoke to an Indian gentleman here with his wife to visit their daughter and son-in-law in Sydney. While they were taken to the Gold Coast and Brisbane which they enjoyed, his most positive comments were about Jenolan Caves. He described it as an amazing natural wonder that should be better promoted to international visitors.
I also came across a middle aged American guy who was here as a tourist with his father. They had spent time on our mainland, then over to NZ and back for a week in Tasmania. They enjoyed the week driving around Tassie and he made very favourable remarks about the meals to be had at the Horse Shoe pub in Cambridge. So it would probably pay to check them out next time you're down on the Apple Isle.
It certainly seems to be wedding season for overseas visitors in Australia. I met yet another young lady and her aunt who were here for not one, but two weddings. The brother and sister had timed both their weddings one week apart so a large family group from the UK could attend. One wedding was in Canberra and the other in the Hunter Valley.
Other travellers I spoke to this week included a young female Japanese backpacker who travelled here on her own for 2 weeks in Sydney, an English backpacker here for a year with a working holiday stint of a few months in Melbourne and an older group of family and friends from Singapore for a one week package holiday in Melbourne and Sydney.
Hearing about the adventuires of overseas visitors to our country continues to whet my appetite for my own trip around as much as possible of our huge country.
Till next week.
