How come fewer people mention dreamworld. It looks good on the net. Anyone tried snorkeling, can recommend a place?

i dun quite like dreamworld. unless u gt lots of time and like rides then can try dreamworld. otherwise just go for seaworld and movie world.

You are going to get diff feedback from diff people
We prefer movie world and dreamworld. Seaworld is mainly about the animals and shows and for us once you have seen a killer whale and dolphin show, u have seen it all. But of the 3, movie world is till the best. If you don't have time to go elsewhere to see kaola, you can do it at dream world.

Thanks to all of you for the feed back. They are very useful.


I think we’ll do dreamworld, movie world and perhaps whitewaterworld since there’s a bundle ticket for it with dreamworld. Will skip sea world for RWS marine life park. Then try Moreton island for a day and O’reily park another.

Thanks again!

Gold Coast is warmer than Melbourne.
No special itinerary planning needed for Gold Coast. 3 theme parks, moreton island for dolphins. These are the main stuff. If you have more time, can visit Sunshine Coast, currumbin wildlife sanctuary etc.

Haha! You already know what you want to do. So no need to ask already. For us, we are really not interested in all these. We have a great zoo in Singapore and my kids are not into animals. And to me shopping in Australia is no big deal. Others may feel differently. DH and I actually find Australia prety boring. we are too jaded

Been to GC twice. 10 years apart but the shows an attractions remained unchanged. At movie world police academy show even the jokes were the same

Melbourne once - my favorite Australian city.

Sydney - 4 times. Leisure and business

Perth - once. That's enough. The guidebook says scenic route, we drove the whole way and didn't see anything even close to scenic. No where near NZ.

Wanted to go Tasmania, but but never did after what we saw of scenic in Perth, I'm still not convinced that it can be better then NZ.
