I'm hoping to hop on and off the Greyhound bus tours
starting in Adelaide where some friends live, then going across to Sydney and then up to Brisbane, so I won't be in Melbourne I'm afraid. We can only go for 2 weeks because Wiggy can't take more than 2 weeks off at a time :(

that's fair enough.
Greyhound tours are pretty good I've heard - so that's a good idea. I warn you though - pack at least one set of warm clothes. What time of winter were you planning on going?

I think we'll be looking at around October/November time
I always pack a couple of jumpers, I'm like a lizard even in hot countries.

I've got no idea of distances and time frames though, how long do you reckon a Greyhound bus would take to go from say Adelaide to Sydney? It's got about 5 stops on the way as well.

Wow!
That's a long, long flight for 2 weeks, but it's better than nothing. I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot and he'll want to go again.

fingers crossed
He might be able to persuade them to let us have 3 weeks, but I can't rely on it so I think I'll work on 2 weeks and if we get extra time then that's a bonus.

Good thinking
3 weeks is just about right, if you don't do stop-overs on the way. I'm so happy you've finally convinced him. I hope you get to save the money.

That's why I've set it so far away, so I only have to save a little bit a month.
As soon as I get a tenant in my rental property I won't be quite so stretched so it shouldn't be impossible. Having said that though, things always seem to pop up and sap my savings!
