Well I wouldnt really think so, besides the fact that it takes a real long time to get there, dont forget the clocks are 12 hours ahead there, so by the time you got there, youd have been gone a day already. (But you could leave 12 hours late and get back to england at the same time you left austrailia if you think about it.)

No it is not.
I've been to New Zealand and after 36 hours of flying and changing planes etc., I could not have told you my name! It took me a good 10 days to recover.
It would be worth it if you were going to collect a cheque for about a million quid but not for much else!

No. Takes 36 hours of flying each way, ignoring jet lag. I'd probably avoid it unless I was going for 2 full weeks, but a "long week-end"? No way.

I suppose it all depends on where you live. You have posted on the UK and Ireland page so I assume you live in one of those countries. I would say it's much too far. You wouldn't have time to recover from jet lag before it was time to return home.

You asked if it were PRACTICAL to do. In other words, can it be done? Well, the obvious answer is yes. It is practical. Whether or not it is sensible, financially viable or personally feasible for you is entirely subjective. But you didn't ask any of that.

Depends what you're going for. A night with Holly Valence.....definitely. Visiting family, a wedding or a birthday.....no!
