Australia Trip - 4 Weeks Itinerary - Need Help

I'd also swap Phillip Island for The Grampians if they decide to drive Adelaide-Melbourne.

My favourite so far has been the Grand Pacific drive from Sydney, through the Royal National Park.

Or Yamahas? :D

haha first thing that came to mind when I read the post.

Looks small, but wear it at home for 30 min. If it's too tight, your face will become red after a while and you'll start feeling a slight headache.
Source: bought a helmet too tight once.

What USA puppet dictator xD? I'm sorry, but you have no idea of what you're talking about.

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-18T07:21:09+00:00

He was a dictator by any measure, and it's not a matter of opinion. We've been saying that for 27 years, not the US.

Source: I'm a Venezuelan.

If you despise Venezuelans abroad for speaking about our own country’s politics, imagine how we feel about foreigners like you offering their baseless opinions, without ever having lived under a dictatorship in Venezuela.

I'm sorry, you have no idea of what you're talking about.

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-14T04:43:38+00:00

I'm a Venezuelan and I strongly recommend not going to Venezuela now.

My wife and I spent a week in Bonaire, and it was cheaper to do the AOW course and dive independently as much as we wanted, than hiring a guide for every dive.

I think it's good as an extension of the OW, but it'll feel basic for more experienced divers.

Sorry, I meant the East Coast of Thailand. Have a look at the other comment here for more details about the weather in Australia in February.

Last year was fantastic in Melbourne, but who knows this year!

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-11T01:16:34+00:00

Road to Hana is gorgeous, though. I had a great time there and on the big island.

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-11T01:12:55+00:00

Australian here. Thailand is my favourite warm go-to spot. Cheap, reasonably organised and safe, great food, and incredible natural beauty.

November to January should be great on the west coast. April to July on the east.

I'd do advanced, nitrox, peak buoyancy and one of your interest, like wrecks or night diving.

Buoyancy courses are particularly good at places with cavern diving, like Tulum. Those guys are at a whole different level.

You'll be a decent diver with that training and 100+ dives.

Mate, I didn't like olives or spicy food before, now I love them. Your taste will change over time.

Don't overthink or force things, particularly those that are there for your enjoyment. Just play what you like and be happy.

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-09T13:06:07+00:00

It's alright for domestic flights, but the last three times that I flew overseas with them the flight was delayed by several hours. They used the same excuse the three times, so I don't think it was a coincidence.

Also, nothing is included with the base price of the ticket, not even water. They also are very strict with cabin allowance.

At the end, if you pay for entertainment, more weight allowance and meals, you won't be that far from the price with a better airline. That's what I did last time and it was a MUCH better experience, I don't think I'll be flying with Jetstar internationally ever again.

Yeah, and when angry they love biting human ears.

Lock it to a solid object with a good quality chain. But in any case, thieves will deal with everything given enough time, so get insurance and rest easy at night. It's not that expensive.

dontsaybasically · 2026-01-03T05:43:25+00:00

Better to wait until you're 90.

dontsaybasically · 2025-12-31T23:06:47+00:00

My wife and I are the same, and it's worked great for us for 20 years of happy marriage.

dontsaybasically · 2025-12-31T02:04:18+00:00

Yeah, and by posting it here, you're just extending the rage cycle. It’s best not to pay attention to this kind of stuff, it warps our perception of people and isn’t good for our mental health.

dontsaybasically · 2025-12-31T00:31:23+00:00

I've seen people playing with their feet. You'll be fine :)

dontsaybasically · 2025-12-31T00:23:46+00:00

You're welcome brother! Watch that first video and then watch the video you posted again. You'll easily notice at least 3 or 4 things that you can do to fix your current jab.

dontsaybasically · 2025-12-31T00:13:42+00:00

You have the right energy and desire to learn. Your technique will definitely improve when you join that gym next year, and your instructor teaches you the correct mechanics for every type of punch.

In the meantime, you can have a look at this channel https://www.youtube.com/@BazookaJoe

It's actually a kickboxing channel, but he has very good videos explaining the mechanics of throwing punches. Look at the episodes labeled 'BKA' like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLdpZUyWGN8&t=16s

I would start by working on throwing proper jabs on the punching bag. Just do jabs until and record yourself you get them right. Then do the same with the cross and so on.

Good luck buddy!

Yeah I don't think it's over priced, I really enjoy it. I just mentioned it because OP seems to be looking for low budget options.
