Have to agree with Liz F about comparing the Rockies to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains are lovely, but if you have limited time, stick with Sydney as suggested.
BTW, we are Americans who went to Australia and are planning our return. We've fallen in love. In fact, we are already talking about the trip after that and the trip after that...as in, well, NEXT time we'll do Kakadu, and another time we'll do Western Australia....

Just to clarify, no one I KNOW has every indicated that they wanted another trip back to Australia. Several have lived there and many have traveled there. I do find valuable feedback from those I personally know who have similar backgrounds and interests. I don't spend a lot of time traveling to tropical or subtropical locations because I grew up living in two of them, and spent nearly every weekend on the beach.
And thank you Tim and Liz.

If mlgb is not a troll then I don't know what one is. Yet again we get another of her outbursts which I am sure is best ignored. She probably does not know anyone who has been to Australia nor any Australians as she attests she does. If I lived in Long Beach Ca I probably would be a tad "touched" as well. Methinks there are a few too little kangaroos in the top paddock.

Hi Liz, how's it going down there in sub-tropical Tassie? Suppose you're leaping about in a bikini.
mlgb, Vast areas of Australia have neither a tropical or subtropical climate, with a degree in geography would have thought you'd have known that.
If your remark about YOUR friends choosing to never return to Australia is designed to get up people's noses, it has certainly succeeded. If that comment wasn't meant to be inflammatory, why make it?

"Subtropical" could mean anywhere between latitudes 23.5 and 40 deg N or S., and anywhere further N or S with similar conditions. Or it could mean nothing much at all, because by some definitions evrything between the tropics and the polar circles, N or S, is "temperate" - warm or cool as the case may be. Conclusion: everybody's right. Or (b) everybody's wrong, (c) Auckland is subtropical, (d) Auckland is not subtropical.
mlgb may have a bee in her bonnet, but that's not necessarily the same thing as having bats in the belfry or being as mad as a cut snake.
I hope that clears things up to everybody's satisfaction.
