hi guys..

i was just discussing some ideas with my friends the other day and we were complimenting a sort of biking trip at the end of the year to somewhere... maybe up to malaysia, china and one option was australia.. so i thought maybe some of you guys could help me figure out:

- the approximate price of say a week living in australia, havent been back in a while so i have no idea now...
-which place would be more worth the money to come down to, at this stage its probably between either darwin or somewhere along the queensland coast like cairns or townsville or wtv

just a few ideas would be cool..
thanks :D

edit:
forgot to mention were park/dj riders not cross country or anythin..

Well I am a Victorian and there is some great riding up in the Mt. Buller region as well as the Geelong/Colac region with the You Yangs and Forrest within close proximity. However I have also heard there is some great riding up near the mountains and coast in the northern part of Queensland. Hopefully someone from around there comes across this threads and decides to post some more information up for you and the general living cost will be quite high with accommodation being particularly dear around this time of year. I would be saying around about $200 per week on food and supplies for just one person plus your accomodation, hire vehicle, petrol and etc.

I think you will have trouble planning a riding trip because a large portion of tracks are hidden and legal/well-knowns are few and far between. Price per week can get really expensive if your staying at thredbo/buller.

I think it may be slightly out of your pricerage but whistler in Canada has the best trails/setup/scenery I've ever seen.

Might be worth a look.

Agreed, i hear there are some dh tracks.. not many though, they should build in the cameron highlands!

I'm sure there are some DH tracks somewhere there, it's too nice an area for there not to be.

Actually, I remember the skatepark at some industrial estate ~40mins drive from the middle of KL was really good. 2 fairly big parks, one wood/metal and one concrete.

I wish I'd ridden back then, instead of being a shitty skater!
