Travel Forum / Destinations / Australia and NZ / March 2005

Several friends and I will be tramping the Routeburn at the end of

to carry all our gear (we plan to stay in huts) with us as we travel
all over New Zealand.

I am a UK doctor interested in a permanent job which has been
advertised in Counties Manukau District Health Board (Manukau Super
Clinic/Surgery Centre)South Auckland, New Zealand. My wife is in love
with Australasia and I imagine the quality of life must be much better

I am thinking of going on the Milford Sound overnight cruise on the Milford
Wanderer. We are planning to take the cruise the same day we finish the
Milford Tramp.

I would like to be able to download pictures from my digital camrea to a
computer, and then e-mail them home (to save memory card space on the dig
camera). I know the odds of finding a computer in a hotel ...

I understand there are various companies at Mel airport. Wish to take a
rental car with unlimited mileage for 3 days beginning tomorrow. Can anyone
tell me of good deals going on there? Thanks.
