How long does it take to drive from Sydney to Auckland?

There is a good Story on News.Com.Au about some of the stupid questions people ask as tourists. Such as “Can I pick up my motor home in Auckland and drop it off in Darwin?” or “Can I have an ocean-view room in Ayers Rock Resort?”… I just love some of these questions.

The last time I checked, it is rather hard to get to New Zealand by car. Getting the car onto a boat is a slight problem. It is possible, but not exactly like driving to Tasmania or between the islands in New Zealand. The article has lots of strange questions, and complaints, such as “We booked an excursion to the water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.” and “No-one told us there would be fish in the sea – the children were startled.”

There is also an interesting interview on the SMH Web Site where a journalist got his 12 year old daughter to interview Avril Lavigne… Some interesting questions there…
