We are thinking about escaping the Dutch winter and go to Australia in January. As we don’t have much time to plan the trip we need help from my lovely Australian readers and other Australia connoisseurs. We plan to fly to Sydney and move up the East coast probably all the way up to Cairns. Could you tell me what are the best places to visit? I will be travelling with my husband Ivar and 2 year old son Kick. I have been to Australia before but that was before I had a child (it was mainly party time!) so this time will be different. We want to stay in Sydney (or in the area) and also thinking about Noosa, Byron Bay etc. Any tips about places to stay, eat, play, go etc are very welcome and very much appreciated!!! You can leave a comment or contact me directly by email (danielledelange {AT} gmail {DOT} com). Also, if you are in Australia and in the area where we will be going please let me know if you’d like to meet up. We love meeting new people, and our son Kick LOVES to play with other kids!!

Update: thank you for all your comments and email! Your information has been very helpful; we have now decided to postpone our trip to October/November as this is a better season to travel to Queensland. I will keep you posted on our travel plans!
