G'day Dan<br><br>I suppose my Q would be "what is the purpose of the trip?". <br><br>If fishing is the main item then 7 days on the water is about the best and I would recommend to trip above in terms of remoteness, yet being able to enter into, and exit out of, Cairns with ease. <br><br>Cost wise that is one of the best ways to go as well. Plus it offers a lot of local sight seeing in terms of the Barrier reef and many other great places. <br><br>From their you can then head south if wanted by air to Sydney or other locations of choice depending on how much time you have etc. <br><br>If it's a mix of fishing and sight seeing then there is a lot of diverse country and places to see given that OZ is the size of the US and yet much less populated. <br><br>December is the height of summer and all round, early November would be a better time. There's a few thoughts in terms of ideas. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
