Suggestions for family travel
Good morning! My family and I will be traveling from the States for a couple of weeks in June. We are getting so excited, but also a little nervous, in a good way! My kids are 5 and 11. We will be starting off in Sydney for about 5 days, then heading to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days, then up to Cairns/Port Douglas. After that, we are going to head to NZ for a bit. We are an active family and hope to do a lot of family friendly/kid friendly activities. We also love delicious food, and fun, lively restaurants. (In the States, the brewery scene is big, as kids can play a bit while parents relax). Any suggestions for places to go would be so appreciated!
Also, I was wondering how Americans are received, in general? Will we face any sort of hostility at all? I just never know if I should believe what I read online, as I largely think social media is more divisive than anything. (For instance, if you believe the media, you might think every American owns a gun and you will get shot walking down the street, LOL. Not true, by the way). I have been trying to read up on Australian culture, things to do, not to do, etc. I really want to be respectful of your culture and make sure that we don't unknowingly commit any faux pas. Thank you so much for any advice that you have!
