Hello dear brothers and sisters,
Good morning!
One of the main benefits of being part of international brotherhood is that we have our brothers and sisters all over the globe and are always there to help with suggestions when a brother visits a foreign country. JWTalk nicely represents this brotherhood and gives one an opportunity to tap into the insights, suggestions, and direction from this multitude of counselors.
I have started this thread to seek such suggestions from our dear brothers and sisters in Australia and all those who have traveled to the land down under. So, here is some background:
2 families from our congregation (including me and my wife) will be visiting the International Convention in Melbourne, Australia in Nov, 2019. We are very thrilled to experience first-hand all the wonderful things and stories we have heard over the years in our literature about these international conventions and also looking forward to meet our wonderful brothers and sisters from this beautiful land and make long-lasting friendships
With the year moving very swiftly, we have now started planning the finer details of the trip and would like views and suggestions from brothers and sisters on the following questions:
Which are the things one must definitely do in Melbourne as a tourist which is peculiar to the place
Any suggestions on how to get the best deals on food in Melbourne? Perhaps a local app that locals use to get the best food at the most economical prices, and so on?
Which are the things one must definitely do in Hobart, Tasmania as a tourist which is peculiar to the place
Any suggestions on how to get the best deals on food in Hobart, Tasmania? Perhaps a local app that locals use to get the best food at the most economical prices, and so on?
Which are the things one must definitely do in Labrador, Gold Coast as a tourist which is peculiar to the place
Any suggestions on how to get the best deals on food in Labrador, Gold Coast? Perhaps a local app that locals use to get the best food at the most economical prices, and so on?
Any other suggestions that will help us travel and visit these places on a tight budget?
Any suggestions on the best mode of transport, which will be light on the pockets too, in these places?
We plan to stay in Australia for 3 weeks, out of which the first week will be for the convention and intend to visit these places in the 2 weeks after. We are complete beginners to everything related to visiting Australia and hence any tips, suggestions you feel we should know, feel free to share it with us.
Thank you dear brothers and sisters. With lots of warm Christian love,
Regards,
Dominic
