QLD holidays etc
Discussion
I'm in New Zealand and in need of a holiday - the family are wanting to go to Movie World, Australia Zoo etc. Looking at around 10 days in July. Are there any dates to avoid - school holidays etc, and where is recommended as the best location to stay for access to the theme parks and with things to do on the down time days. I'm also going to need a minivan/6 seater hire car, any recommendations for this?
Cheers
Mark.

DO NOT FLY DEATHSTAR
I flew from Sydney to Gold Coast and then back again. Apart from being massively delayed they designated the return flight an international flight without telling any passengers.
As I was away for the weekend I had carry on baggage only. So I had to leave behind a whole heap of stuff, and I landed at the international terminal at Syd meaning I had to go through iimmigration and customs without a passport and then pay $10 to get a bus from int to dom where my car was parked.
Never again

Recently flew Syd-Chch on Jeststar, and the return leg on Air NZ. Difference in service and ease of attendance was enormous - so much better on Air NZ, and the Air NZ flights were AU$60 more, in total for three of us, than the JS flights. I've also used Air NZ to go to the States, and reckon they're pretty good. Must be able to get to Brissie and then drive to Gold Coast with more flexibility than flying direct to Coolangatta???
