You could always skip Queensland and come to Canberra instead.... We don't

have beaches, but we also don't have nasty poisonous things that lurk around

beaches, and the humidity isn't as bad here. It still gets majorly hot

though....

I haven't personally flown long haul flights with a baby - my understanding

is that plane companies provided a limited number of portacots on

international flights, so you would have to check early. Is Liam old enough

for an " umbrella " stroller (the light weight ones that fold up really

small)?

Recycled forced air can carry infectious bacteria - the cooling towers at

Melbourne aquarium gave a stack of people Legionella (sp) last year. There

is a great hand out (I think I down loaded it from a British site somewhere)

about flying with major respiratory illness.

Seriously, come and play with us in Canberra. We'd love to see you.

towers and gardens and museums etc.) Australia
