Headed to the land of Oz in June for a wedding. It's been over a decade since I was there, so I know a lot has changed. Looking for recommendations on food, attractions, and activities for our trip.
We’ve booked most of the travel and lodging and it looks like we’re heading out late May.
The tentative itenerary is as follows.
* A two night layover in L.A. to take the kids to Disney.
* Two nights in Fiji to break up the long flight for the kids.
* Six nights in Brisbane for the wedding, koala sanctuary, Morton Bay bugs, wineries and other.
* Five nights in Tasmania for distilleries, breweries, wineries, and oysters.
* Five nights in Rotorua for hangi, hakas, and healing geothermal pools.
* Three nights in Queenstown, can't remember what we planned here but hopefully it's not too cold.
* Three nights in Syndey to do the bridge walk, harbour tour, and sightseeing.
* Five nights in Bali for mud pits, elephant jungle rides, beach excursion, and street food.
* Then back to Fiji overnight to start our trip back home.
Any recommendations on food, attractions, and activities are welcomed.

I wouldn’t recommend any of these activities in Bali. Travel to Thailand if you want to do these things.

Sounds like an awesome adventure but that's a lot of flights (ten ?) to be dragging three kids on. Have you thought about just staying in Australia the whole time and renting a car - doing Queensland, Uluru, Great Ocean Road, South Australia?

We did Bali for our honeymoon. No idea if that thread still exists but I did a fairly extensive report. That was almost 8 years ago though.

Wow that sounds amazing. Indonesia and Bali is on my bucket list because I want go surfing there with my now grown children. Have your kids ever traveled that distance before? I am sure you breaking it up will help but just let them know( especially your youngest) those long plane rides can be brutal. Definitely give us updates and a final summary of all your stops when you return. Safe travels and
