Sleep and Eat in Australia
Cairns
The Abbott Boutique Hotel -- Nice hotel in a super location near the pier.
Bang & Grind -- Tasty food and coffee in Cairns center. We ate there twice. Excellent eggs benedict.
Sydney
Sydney Harbour Marriott at Circular Quay -- It's a Marriott. A Marriott in a FABULOUS location.
Tank Steam Hotel -- Nice, modern hotel in the financial district. Good value
Yulara/Uluru
Outback Pioneer Hotel and Lodge Ayers Rock Resort -- Shabby and expensive accommodations near Uluru, where the hotel options are few. But unless you are inclined to mortgage your house to pay for a room, this is your only choice. Don't eat at the Pioneer BBQ & Bar.
Kulata Academy Cafe -- The only reasonably priced restaurant with edible food in the Ayers Rock Resort area. Closes early.
