Any Australian contacts out there? Travelling over to visit son at Christmas/NY who is on a study year in NSW. Any accommodation/vacation rental sites you would recommend that I might not necessarily see in the UK?

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.
