Been several times already but still plenty of areas I’m yet to see
Posted: Tue May 26, 2020 4:57 pmDon’t see the issue. The US is in a far worse state than China and yet if our border restrictions ceased tomorrow I’d bet there would be thousands of Australians heading there in the coming months. Once the relevant authorities deem China as safe to visit I’d have no hesitation going back.

Of course. I'll be on the Murray or KI if you need me.

Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 11:07 pmI reckon I read the ferry is the most expensive (per km) in the world. Be that as it may, heading over in July with some friends for a few days. Haven't been for nearly a decade (outside of a work trip) and have relatives who always come back to the mainland, time for me to pay the cash and get over to see them.Booney wrote:Just been looking at some preliminary budgets for 3 couples to either go to Kangaroo Island for 5 nights or do 4 nights mid week on a house boat out of Morgan. Wonder why people don't go to KI! Bloody hell.
In short :
House boat (8 berth for 6 people) - $1900 for 4 nights (total - $600 per couple ) allow $300-400 per couple for food and drinks, no real need for spending money on board, throw in a tank of fuel to Morgan and back, maybe one pub meal = $1300-1500 per couple tops.
Kangaroo Island - $98 per person return on ferry, $198 per car return ( $400 per couple ), 5 nights at $150 per night accommodation ( $750 per couple ), 2 tanks of fuel ( $150 ), $150-200 per day spending food + drink ( $1000 ) = $2300-2500 per couple.

We're looking at the NT in October as well, before the wet season kicks in.

Should be plenty of fish in the bay since no tourists were there for Easter.
