That's reassuring - thank you so much

We are UK citizens. We applied for and received the sub-class 651 e-visitor visa but now I'm wondering if that will not be sufficient and we need the ETA instead. The website does not make it clear to me the difference between the 601 and the 651 so we applied for the 651 as that is what we used last time in 2019. Can anyone advise please?

Hi. I've been trying to find a tour operator for a day trip to Blue Mountains from Sydney for our pre-cruise stay in 3 weeks' time. They all seem to offer trips including Federdale Wildlife park/Sydney zoo/ferry from Parramatta but we are not really interested in these extras and wanted to concentrate just on the Blue Mountains area (scenic world plus lookouts, honeymoon bridge etc). I can only find one tour operator to offer a trip of this nature which is "sydneyadventuretours" but there are precious few reviews online and I would have to book directly in local currency with them off the back of their website. It makes me slightly nervous. Does anyone have any experience of this operator before I take the risky plunge and book with them?

Hi. Does anyone know why the HOHO bus that leaves Katoomba railway station is not running in the week or if it is likely to restart before I go to Sydney at the end of October? I'm only there on weekdays.

Thank you for your replies. Think I will have to stick with ship tours as it's too tight time wise for trying to arrange independently.

Hi all. I'm due on a GBR cruise in November stopping off at both Port Douglas and Airlie Beach. As these are both tender ports can anyone advise where exactly we are likely to arrive on shore (so that I can see on google maps). I'm trying to establish whether we will have time to arrange our own non-ship trips and it's difficult when I don't know how far we will be from some of the attractions. I'm thinking of - Airlie - jet skiing, glass bottom boat tour round reefs etc. Are these available to book on arrival at all? Port Douglas - going to Hartleys crocodile adventures or the Wildlife habitat. Not sure if we'll be able to make it on our own using public transport or through Viator etc
