[澳洲當地的旅行社及參團day tour相關討論]

不毒枉為女人
hi
我打算六月中下旬去墨爾本及雪梨

想參加大洋路及菲利浦島的local tour
但怕英文不夠好 :-$
前輩們
有人參加過中文的local tour嗎
需先在台灣報名嗎

不用在台灣報名
你可以到了再報
當地的中國城有一堆這樣的中文local tours
你還可以比較價格
有時候賣綿羊油的免稅店還會順道推銷特價團給你:)
熱門團天天都可以出發的
你別浪了和我回家
機票是來回的嗎? 應該不是....是從雪梨飛嗎?
其實價錢還滿便宜的 不過三天有點小趕
我之前是參加 Adventure tour 14 days from Adelaide to Darwin
妳的tour 和我的 都是屬於backpacker類的 所以很平名唷
我那時還要住帳篷呢!!
老師你比衛生紙還能扯
我朋友說我們這個團是睡類似睡袋的, 主要目的是看星星
不知睡睡袋會不會很恐怖A

恐怖?不會吧...睡那個Swag(澳洲野戰睡袋)是滿特別的經驗喔,天氣好的時候真的是滿天的星空

上次去的時候更特別,說alice springs跟ururu已經一年多沒下過雨了,結果剛好我去的時候就下雨,還在半夜下... 更糟糕的是Swag看起來很厚重粗勇,所以我就不管他繼續睡,誰知道越睡越冷,天阿!居然不防水 :-@

在生日當天,一年半沒下過雨的沙漠中,半夜2點被大雨淋醒,這算老天送的生日禮物嗎? :-S
有一種格調叫我行我素
小女子與朋友6月中要出發到澳洲自助旅行~
路線:雪梨- 澳洲的沙漠 Ulura Rock - 墨爾本
我們預計在澳洲的沙漠 Ulura Rock那待上3天左右
也在網路上找到了一個tour~ 3天二夜+到Alice Spring 的機票,約澳幣499元
網址: www.mulgas.com.au/mulgas/default.html
請問一下這個tour有人參加過嗎? 好嗎?
還有別的tour或是別的方式可以建議的嗎? 這個費用算便宜的還是貴的?
希望各位高手能夠指導一下。感激不盡,謝謝

hi
I am yenjay and stay in melbourne now

I joined the tour when i stayed in Alice springs two weeks ago.
it is cheaper than other tours and the meal is so so but i can accept^^
The tour is max 21 people and uses the small bus.
It is true that we must use the swag(it is pity that i forgot to take a photo>.<) and sleeping bag(if you don't have the sleeping bag, you can rent one for AU5 in annie's place backpacker hostel) when we sleep
But it is an unforgetable experience for me because i saw a lot of stars on the sky(very amazing ^O^ and i took the photo of southern cross^^)(we will stay outdoor where is no artificail light except the campfire one night^^, many people sit around the fire singing or chating)

BUT
1.it is cold at night and in the morning so you need to prepare warm clothes(we got up at 5:30am to see sunrise at Uluru(Ayers rock) one day and got up at 4:30am to climb the Kings canyon, but it is worth for me^^)

2.the distance between alice and uluru is 450km, so it is better to prepare some books or fictions to read on the way^^

3.If you wanna join the tour.
Maybe you should stay here for five days.
--------------------------------------
one day you arrive in Alice spring and stay in Annie's place backpacker hostel(8-bed dorm is 16/per person per night)(they will pick you up at airport)
Next day getting up at 5:30am and depart at 6:30am
when you come back Alice at 5:00pm 3 days later, maybe it is better that staying here one night.(because it is a little tired for me^^)
--------------------------------------
So in my opinion that it is better to stay here for 5 days
But if you have no more time, maybe you could ask the staff to pick you up at airport and directly joining the tour right now^^

4.the fare just include one way airplane from Syndey(but i remember the fare is just AU450 when i was in Alice??). If you join the tour alone, it costs AU250.

If you have other questions about this tour or other questions, please send a message to me and i will reply as soon as possible.

Take care and wish you will have a good time in Australia

Thanks for your reply, it's very helpful.
But I still have some questions about the tour, and need your hlep.

1. Is there a place to take a bath in these 3 days

2. Should we bring the water by ourselves or we can buy the water during the trip?

3. After the tour, we will go to Melbourne, what type of transportation you recommand for leaving? Airplane, bus, train.......

1&2

記得多數的tour,車上都會準備大水桶放飲用水,出發前或是路上司機英該會叫你準備一個水壺,直接去超市買個大瓶的便宜汽、水果汁就ok了,之後就當水壺。

Ururu雖然是沙漠,但是因為長期的開發,在附近有規劃一個大型的觀光休息區,可以容納5000人以上的住宿(包含一般的星級飯店、YHA,還有背包旅行團用的露營區),裡面加油站、超市都有,當然洗澡也沒問題啦!真的要還是買的到東西。不過澳洲就是越偏僻的地方東西越貴,要有心理準備。

喔...對了...那裡甚至有投錢電腦可以上網....不過好像10塊左右一小時 :-@

如果你時間有限,當然只能搭飛機了吧,多上網找找便宜機票吧

如果你有足夠的時間,可以體會一下澳洲的經典鐵道 The Ghan,這班列車通常2種人會搭:有錢有閒的退休老人,跟貧窮、搭火車順便省一晚住宿費的背包客。

你可以從alice springs搭the ghan到 Adelaide,在車上睡一晚,車廂裡面還有shower可以用;之後看Adeliade要不要停,在搭 The Overland 去melbourne。

有機會的話來體驗一下澳洲的鐵道吧,至於greyhound 巴士.....個人是不建議啦,坐起來不舒服,你ururu的tour也應該已經看夠沙漠了。

Have a nice trip in "RED CENTER" :-D

hi~~^^
I am sorry to reply you so late(because i went to Great ocean road for three days^^)

1.We will stay one night at Yalura and you can take a shower there. Another day we can't take a shower because we will sleep where is nothing^^

2.It is better to bring the water bottle by yourself. you could buy a 2L(or less) bottle of water in Alice(there are many supermarket like Coles and Woolworth) and you can get more drinking water on the way of travel(there are a lot of drinking water supple point at the national park and it is free^^)

3.I took the train from Alice to Adelaide and to Melbourne.
Alice-Adelaide
(1)It is spectacular to take the Glan train from Alice to Adelaide(it cost 21 hours but you can take a shower on the train).
(2)Taking the bus of Greyhound from Alice to Adelaide cost 24 hours(it is a little tired)

Adelaide-Melbourne
(1)in my opinion, if you wanna visit the Great ocean road when you are in Melbourne, you could join the tour of 3 days 2 nights from Adelaide to Melbourne via Great ocean road and Grampians national park(There are a lot of wild Kangaroo on the way^^), Then you can save the money of transport from Adelaide to Melbourne

However, if you don't have the time, it is better to take the airplane(just 3-4 hours from Alice to Melbourne)

It is my opinion and i hope these will have benefit for you,

Take care and wish you have a good time
if you have other questions, please tell me and i will reply you as soon as possible.

我們的時間還蠻充裕的。而且我們決定再延長我們的旅遊天數了 :-D
去查一下"The Ghan",他只有星期四和星期二從Alice Spring出發,星期五和星期三約AM: 9:00到Adelaide。
The Overland 是星期一,星期三,星期五AM:7:25(一天只有一班)出發到墨爾本。
這樣子看起來好像無法銜接,勢必要在Adelaide,停留二天。但是我們並不想在Adelaide停留  :'(
我們可能就從Alice Spring 搭The Ghan到Adelaide,再從Adelaide坐飛機到墨爾本吧,因為我們也想坐坐看The Ghan.

我還看到他們的票價不同,像YHA/Backpacker的票價就比較便宜,請問一下要什麼樣的資格才能買啊?還是要先辦什麼証明呢?
我需要在台灣先買還是要到了當地,要出發時,再買就可以了呢? 謝謝

hi^^我可以寫中文了~~^^
1.妳只要有YHA card或VIP backpackers card究可以買了...^^如果你有國際學生證,就只要原價的“一半”^^。國際學生證和yha card可以在台灣辦,而VIP backpackers card只能上網站或在澳洲辦(不過在澳洲的backpacker辦可以立刻拿到^^),兩種卡其中一樣都可以,就看你想住哪裡嚕~~~^^

Take care and wish you will have a good time in Australia

如果要在台灣辦YHA可去哪辦? 在澳洲辦VIP backpackers 是否只能在澳洲使用? 還是全世界通用? 謝謝!

1.
https://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5905
因為我沒有辦YHA卡..這是之前前輩的討論..^^

2.可以在全世界使用一年..步過你在這裡辦只能拿到澳洲跟紐西蘭Backpackers 的資料(步過你可以上網看到全世界backpackers的資料 www.vipbackpackers.com)(另外跟大家報告,其實大部分的backapckers都不用上網訂,你可以打免付費電話給他們定,可以省booking fee,電話在你辦卡時他給你的資料裡會有^^)
掐指一算菇涼我命裡缺錢
我找到swag照片了...^^
這是我在Tas時參加AGFEST(農業嘉年華)看到的...
類似但不完全一樣...
(沒有凸起來的那一塊)

這個swag比較'先進'喔 :-) 我在outback睡的swag也是沒有突出蓋住頭的部分,所以晚上頭臉的部分有點冷.
鑒婊專家
是喔,頭臉會有點冷喔~
看樣子是不是要帶個圍巾什麼的包住頭臉會比較好
看你身高多高囉.如果不太高的話,是可以往袋裏鑽把頭臉多蓋一點,真的很怕冷的話,包條圍巾睡也不錯啦.我11月去的,算是初夏,白天很熱,但半夜也降到了4-5度而已.
呆呆豬
哈,我身高是不太高啦,搞不好根本可以直接蓋住我的頭臉 :-P
可是我們大概是6/24左右會到那,算冬天吧,應該會冷一點吧
這是Uluru當地的月均溫 http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/ASXX0005?from=month_bottomnav_business
看來我們11月在那裡的時候遇到6-7月才應該會有的冷.6月的平均低溫4度左右,所以碰上0度或0下也是有可能的.
