We head out Wednesday about midnight from LAX to Melbourne for 3 nights, to Sydney for one night - doing the bridge climb near Opera House. Get on cruise ship for a 2 week cruise to Fiji... suppose to stop at
Noumea,
Lifou, Port Villa, Dravuni Island, Suva, Savusavu, Lautoka, > back to Sydney and coming home.

Any suggestions - I did a search, and most advise is from 6 years ago.... anyone go recently ?

Have a great time...it sounds like the trip of a lifetime. The South Seas have centuries of interesting history.

Enjoy your trip!! Post lots of pics.
Fiji was 20 years ago for us(our 10th anni) and still remains one of our top trips. The most cordial people we've ever met.
Sydney was awesome. Took pics of the bridge climbers. Probably not as scary as one might expect but still gotta be a little unnerving.

It's a touristy group tour deal. Bucket list item for many. My last pic of opera house was 8x from center of bridge at road level.
I'm sure views are amazing but you might need better than a 8x or 10x zoom.:cool:

Great pics from the bridge, thanks for sharing.
Hope the rain there has helped with the fires, albeit originally lightning caused many of them to start.
