Hello everyone, I'm now planning in earnest to visit Australia in Dec 2025. It's a bit late I know... but my wife just renewed her passport (takes a lot to get it done in her country)... TRIP ITINERARY This will be another drivng trip. As above: Brisbane - Sydney - Canberra - Melbourne - Adelaide. Open jaw flight using SIA. Fly in Brisbane, fly out Adelaide. 28 Nov to 1 Jan. So far SIA is the cheapest and direct flights for both legs, compared to Qantas & Emirates. Any other airlines recommendation welcome! The itinerary is roughly dvided this way - subject to change as I plan more in detail. ITINERARY SPLIT Brisbane - 7 days: may split the days between Brisbane and Gold Coast. Sydney - 8 days (one day rest stop between as the distance is 917 km, so only 7 days effectively): may split the days between Sydney and some farm stay in outskirts; any suggestions where to break journey between Brisbane and Sydney? Canberra - 3 days (286 km from Sydney; doable in one day): nothing much to do, just visit the capital lar... on the way, take as rest stop cos Sydney to Melbourne is about 900 km) Melbourne - 12 days (662 km from Canberra; doable in one day): lots of stuff to do. Likely split the stay between Melbourne and some farm stay Adelaide - 4 days (735 km from Melbourne; doable in one day): likely to stay near the beach. The last time I stayed in Semphore Beach area. Also not much to do. Any comments about the number of days allocated are welcome. Thinking of Tasmania... actually, wonder if possible... hahaha... that's one place I haven't been to... CAR RENTAL This is a tough one given the one way rental. Will be trying Apex Rentals cos one bro here said no transfer charge (sorry forgot who already). Hope still true... otherwise, may modify plans... ACCOMODATION Would prefer apartments or motels. Trying to keep costs down to less than $200 a day for 2 adults and 2 kids. Not fussy about luxury. Got space for kids to play can already. Any recommendations would be most welcome! Will have to pay more for B&B or farm stay I guess. FOOD Likely lunch eat out, dinner do takeaway to manage costs. Breakfast buy from supermarket. Any tips much appreciated. I used to eat out for all my past trips. But this one is really long and it's going to add up crazily... all recommendations for delicious pho, cantonese food, ang mo food, Thai food, etc all welcome! All comments, suggestions, tips and experiences from all the bros here who have experience all welcome! Thank you!

More details about a crash that happened on 19 June 2020 involving a bus and three cars at the junction of Sembawang Road and Gambas Avenue at 10.08am has been released. In the video posted by ROADS.sg, one can see a speeding Toyota Altis crashing into a Toyota CH-R at extreme speeds. The blue car was sent spinning from the impact and can be seen with its front bumper mangled. Impressively, the 52-year old driver in the Altis managed to flee the scene despite the severity of the crash. He was later caught for suspected drug-related and traffic-related offences. Meanwhile, the police said that the CH-R driver, a 50-year-old male car driver as well as his 39-year-old female passenger were conscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. On a side note, do you guys think that if you happen to be planning a heist or something along those lines, that this video serves as proof that even in an accident as severe as this, you could walk away pretty much unharmed if you were in a Toyota Altis?

this is a freaking nightmare for any home owner. luckily nobody was injured. FAQs below. Developer: MCC Land (Singapore) Pte Ltd Main Contractor: China Jingye Construction Engineering (S) Pte Ltd TOP in 2015
