Visiting Cairns (and Sydney and Gold Coast) in October. Trying to decide a reef snorkel outfitter and would appreciate any tips or ideas.

Thanks!

I’m cheap! Looking at a 2025 black edition with 12k miles for $41k vs a new 26 for $50k. Am I being penny wise and pound foolish?

Family of three looking for suggestions of what neighborhood to stay in Sydney. Likely an apartment rental (prefer two bedrooms).

We are spending three days in Sydney proper and one day we are hiring a car and driving to the blue mountains, so proximity to rental agency is also helpful. So many choices we have decision paralysis.

Thanks for any thoughts.

My dad, who just moved here, asked me if there are normally more insects than we have right now. It made me think—I don’t think I’ve seen a mosquito, very few dragonflies, hardly any beetles and maybe one or two bees this year.

Are insect populations down this year, or is it just too early?
