Re: Oz/NZ basics

Hmmm... Well seeing as a sensible time for touring NZ varies for everyone
but 2-6 weeks is the starting point for most people, he could easily spend
his whole time here. If a month is all he has got, then don't try to do both
countries. And Aussie is one hell of a lot bigger. Even with flying a lot,
covering the areas you have listed will take up a month without a problem.
He needs to find either more time or less places to visit.
