Dumb questions asked by tourists!
"CAN I catch a train from Fiji to New Zealand?" and "what type of car is needed to drive from the Great Barrier Reef to Perth?" are just some of the dumbest questions asked by tourists.
Australian travel agents were asked to list some of the strangest questions asked by holidaymakers and the results revealed plenty of blonde moments.
According to staff from Australia's Sunlover Holidays customer call centre, queries are as varied as they are strange.
"I'm doing a crossword at the moment and need your help. What is the name of that really tall building in the Gold Coast?'' one asked.
Another wanted to know why Australian stop signs were shaped like hexagons and why "they always plant bananas on slopes'' here.
A smoker wanted to know how many cartons of cigarettes they could take on their driving holiday to Queensland and a swimmer asked call centre staff to predict how many people would be in their hotel pool on Good Friday.
Australian geography is often the weakest point for international visitors, one asking what type of car they would need to drive overnight from the Great Barrier Reef to Perth.
Another wondered what passport they would need to visit Melbourne from Queensland.
Yet another asked for staff to compile a list of toilets they could visit while driving from Cairns to Brisbane.
But it seems us Aussies have similar difficulties with geography.
According to Flight Centre staff, would-be Aussie holidaymakers have levelled their fair share of jaw-dropping questions.
"Can I catch a train from Fiji to New Zealand?'' asked one visitor interested in booking a rail holiday.
One traveller was baffled by the concept of international time zones, asking: ``I know it's a long flight but how is it that I take off at 10am in Sydney and land at 10am in Vancouver on the same day? How is that possible?''
Others wondered what the capitals of Africa and Europe were and asked whether Canada and America were different countries.
Another Aussie wondered what their duty free allowance was in Tasmania while another checked that shops in Perth would take the same currency as Brisbane.
"Can you get Australian money out of ATMs overseas?'' asked another.
