A large number of cruisers head for NZ from the South Pacific to wait out
the Cyclone season. It's only a few more mile to OZ and a lot to see.

My wife and I have been taking 3 weeks the last few
years and been loving OZ. It's the cheapest vacation
we can take. With my air miles, the cost has been
$40.oo for the air fare and we have been spending
about $1500 USD for three weeks, including rental car
gas, and acc. OZ has been the best deal we have
found, and can't wait untill we get the boat down
there to do go around OZ.
