    Happy to go interstet or stay in vic. Dont want overseas as i feel to risky to eat.

    Not sure what we want to do normally when we are on holidays everyday is full on with activities but not sure if i will be up to that!

    Opinions on people who have flowen at 31 or 32 weeks and if they found it to much?

    I have thought of tassie bt al the things i still want to do there are walking etc.
    Perth lovely but long flight.
    Whitsundays lovely but also long flight and may be to much effort!
    Stay in vic and go down great ocean rd or up to Bright

    What have others done?

    Sounds exciting feebs! Sorry i cant be of any help. I couldnt go anywhere as i found it hard to sit too long in the car, so our 3hr drive to perth usually took 4-4.5!! Hope you find something soon.

    How about the barrier reef? You can do the glass bottom boat to the reef without walking and snorkelling/swimming is nice when you're preggers.
    Cruising in the Whitsundays would be nice and you wouldn't have to do much walking.
    How about a spa for some pampering?

    Whitsundays is currently fav idea as we did that may 2006 for our honeymoon!!!
    Had a lovely cruise out to reefworld and snorkled on the reef was soooo amazing!
    Its just the flight length that i am concerned about

    Maybe you could break the flight up with an over night stop in Brisbane or the Gold Coast....

    I can't help you with idea on where to go, but QLD sounds great.

    I flew from Adelaide to Sydney return the next day at 36+2. I have been told my belly isn't huge but I did notice the difference in lack of room. My elbow doesn't squish in at my side like it usually does and because I was by the window going over and DH in the middle taking up all the armrest I ended up feeling squashed. I should have/ could have spoken up but he was asleep. It wasn't too bad though and was only about 1.5-2hours. Coming back the flight attendants were great and asked me if I needed a pillow or anything, it was an all female crew whereas going over it was all male. I flew Qantas.

    I didn't have any drams and if you can arrange a stop somewhere along the way you should be fine. Everyone is different and depends on how you carry etc.

    Good luck in deciding where to go, and the plane flight can be done and isn't too bad.

    Why don't you go to Vanuatu, heaps cheaper than the whitsunday's and it isn't a long flight. I can highly recommend it.
