Wow. This sounds great culturally and helps by giving back to the local communites.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, you were all a great help. Time to do a bit more research. Will definitely avoid staying in Kuta and no Bintang singlet for me.

Yes. Yes "Me no speak English" has helped in other countries.

Unfortunately neither of us SCUBA. We can snorkel though.

Thanks for the other suggestions. Just came back from Singapore and KL and been to other SEA locations, so just looking for another location to ecplore.

I have to accept the fact that I can't really avoid it on the flights, was more concerned when I land. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, you are right. A bit of tongue in cheek with the original question. Looking to get away from the usual tourist spots and interact with locals rather than fellow Aussies.

Thanks. I knew it was a stretch but thought I'd ask anyway. :p

Hey everyone. I've got a spare week of leave mid-year 2020 and looking to pop up to Bali. Never been before (but flown over Indonesia many times). I'm trying to avoid the stereotypical Bogan Aussie experience that Kuta/Southern Bali is (in)famous for. Should I be looking at Nothern Bali...

This sounds like my experience on S7 Airlines a few years ago. Could have as much orange juice as you like.

Last week I took the 7.30am ferry over and it was quite rough. Ferry staff handing out airline style sick bags. Hope it's not as rough for your son.

Great photos. I went to Rotto last Thursday, and rode around most of the island. My calves are still in pain from all the cycling (haven't cycled for a while). I didn't quite get as high (as in a flight), but went to the top of the lighthouse in the middle of the island (very windy up the...

I usually type up a general itinerary at home and then amend it on the go if something changes (either on paper or tablet). Timestamps photos assist me after the trip of where I went and when (and photo of any signage to help) and if there was something noteworthy on my travels I add it to my...

Oh and when the VA lounge in SYD has a pop-up Bundaberg Rum stall serving coughtails how can you say no?

Being a VA Red I don't get much chance to frequent the lounge but when I do I take advantage of it. Usually try every beer available (or work my way through the options). Don't ask about the food!!

I had my PER-ADL VA points and double status uploaded to Velocity only 1 hour after I got home from ADL last week. In November the points took a few days to upload.

Imagine sitting in the same row as both of them. Not much room and even worse the beer might be all gone.

Last time I flex CX from ADL-HKG the air wasn't even on. We had to keep the window shades down for the whole flight and go scolded at if you dared raised it to look out the window (daytime flight). Everyone was sweating and stuffy on arrival in HKG. Never been more glad to get off an aircraft
