Reviving an old thread here. I had a huge delay with getting my passport and to make matters worse the friend I was planning to travel with may not be able to go after all. So at this point I am not sure if I will be going.

I am debating though about traveling solo and attending the Queensland Astrofest and maybe going to Uluru. I have never traveled overseas before and I am bit hesitant to go by myself. if I do decide to go solo, some travel tips would be of great assistance.
