    Happy new year,

    Also do you think i should do the journey over in one go or do you think i should stop over somewhere for a few nights.

    :)

    My opinion - it's too far to go. You're looking at a day's worth of travel in each direction, then a few days of jetlag, then the rest rushing around trying to see as much as possible in a massive country.

    Again, my opinion on a honeymoon, somewhere close enough, with pubs / restaurants / sighteeing all within arms reach. Whether you are doing a relaxing honeymoon or something a little more adventurous, you don't want to spend half your time on planes/buses/taxis/trains.

    Personally the north east is great.

    Cairns / great barrier reef / whitsundays / frazer island. This is the area you should be concentrating on and very achievable in your time frame.

    Myself and my wife done the east coast from Port Douglas (north of Cairns) to Sydney for our honeymoon in January 2010. We had a 2 night stopover in Singapore. We landed in Cairns Jan 3rd and worked our way to Sydney and departed Sydney on 25th. Highlights were Greet Barrier Reef done this from Port Douglas, Whitsundays (we stayed on an island to relax for 2 nights) Fraser Island was the best craic and made great friends.Was alot of driving involved some times might leave at 6 -7 am and may not get to destination until 2-3pm.We had car booked and the 1st 3 nights stay booked before we left and booked the rest as we went along.We were on a budget and stayed in hostels and booked them as we went along. Best experience ever. Hope this is of some help All the best with your planning.
