My holiday was a huge dissappointment

the whole ozzie trip sucked apart from the Grand Prix
I spent most of my time driving or lost
bugger navigating using a map the size of a phonebook whilst trying to navigate city traffic in the middle of the largest citys in australia

conclusions
1) next time take someone else with me

2) fly streight to melbourne on the thursday and take 2 weeks to drive up to brisbane

3) plan sightseeing more extensively

4) get better maps earlier

5) bugger the bloody rental car companys never leave the country til they are sure they are done with the car's post hire checks
