We have sailed from OPT after 6pm.

I am female but don't take HRT.

The photos are of the Taieri Gorge train and Dunedin railway station where we boarded the train in Dunedin. We did an independent tour.

According to Australian Home Affairs website, from 6th April, you apply on the Australian ETA app available from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and in most cases you will be notified of the result immediately. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601#HowTo You will also need a NZ ETA - https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/options/visit

The tender time at Airlie Beach is quite long, more than just a few minutes if I remember, depending on where the tender is docking and whether you are on a ship's tender or one of the high speed catamarans that are used as well. There are two marinas that may be used, one each on either side of the town. It is best to do a ship's excursion if doing the reef from Airlie as you will be picked up and returned directly from the ship and don't have to tender. Sorry I don't know how long the tender trip is in Port Douglas.

I agree, sometimes it is more just the nausea for me. I have only ever vomited twice - once on a cruise ship and once on a plane, my first ever flight returning from Tasmania when we hit a storm over Bass Strait. I used Avomine which works really well but now that it is not available in Australia, I use Phenergan, taking it at night. Rarely have nausea from motion sickness now.
