ATLANTA - A rocky transition converting much of Georgia's Medicaid program to managed care is hurting patients by delaying payments to doctors, specialists who serve primarily women and children complained Thursday.
But state health officials downplayed the technical glitches that have plagued the program since its inception in June and said they're more concerned with signing up enough doctors to guarantee adequate patient access to care. The Medicaid managed care initiative began serving about 600,000 low-income adults and children in metro Atlanta and middle Georgia on June 1. The state Department of Community Health plans to roll out the program for about the same number of patients in the rest of the state on Sept. 1. The concept of the initiative is to improve health care quality by steering Medicaid enrollees accustomed to relying on overcrowded hospital emergency rooms to primary care doctors. Bringing the efficiencies of managed care to the Medicaid population is also aimed at saving tax dollars. This year's state budget projects that the program will save the DCH $80 million. But on Thursday, a pediatrician, an obstetrician and representatives of several statewide associations of therapists used words including "disaster'' and "crisis'' to describe the transition from traditional fee-for-service to managed care. Dr. Eric Moore, an obstetrician from Atlanta, said the state has paid out only $47 million of about $200 million in claims that doctors have submitted for their Medicaid patients in the two regions since the program began. "Most of my colleagues either have not been paid in 10 weeks or have been paid very little,'' he said. "Doctors are going bankrupt and closing their offices ... There's patients who have suffered.'' Dr. Dan Eysie, who owns pediatric practices in Rockdale and Fulton counties, said the managed care company he signed up with informed him in late May that his credentials hadn't been approved. As a result, he said, his patients were assigned to another company without his permission. "You keep advertising that this worked,'' he told members of the state Board of Community Health. "I'm telling you it is not.'' Kathy Driggers, chief of managed care and quality for the DCH, conceded that payment delays are occurring and that the managed care companies the state has hired for the program need to do a better job educating providers on how to submit claims. "It's been a bumpy start,'' added David McNichols, chairman and CEO of Peach State Health Plan, one of the companies selected to run the program. "We still have work to do.'' McNichols said Peach State Health is working to clear up a backlog of claims and expects to catch up by next week. Craig Bass, CEO of Amerigroup Community Care of Georgia, another managed care company brought in for the initiative, said he has added staff to speed up processing of prior authorization forms for therapy appointments and is temporarily relaxing credentialing requirements to get more doctors enrolled in his network. DCH Commissioner Rhonda Medows said she's confident the delays in payments and credentials will be resolved soon. She said a bigger issue as the program unfolds is making sure each part of the state has enough doctors enrolled with one or more of the managed care companies to assure patients reasonable access to health care. "At the end of the day, it's not about payments but indigent medical care,'' said Dr. Robert Lipson, a member of the board. "What we're really trying to do is provide the right care at the right time and right place to the right people.''More like this story

Whenever a deranged gunman kills people, there are calls for gun control. Whenever a terrorist attacks, there are calls to ban everyone from the terrorist's religion, country, or ethnic origin.
My proposal takes this trend to the next logical conclusion - all men should be immediately deported from the US. Since 99.99999% of all robberies, thefts, home invasions, murders, and terrorist attacks are committed by men, we need to remove these dangerous individuals from the U.S. NYC Mayor Bloomberg, TV host Bill Maher, MSNBC, and others have all endorsed this idea and have recommended that the new US Constitution be re-written for women only and will consist of the following single Article:

CPS may still close high schools; no list till February of schools facing action
CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett agrees with the recommendation of her hand-picked Commission on School Utilization to include school performance among the criteria for school closing decisions, but she may still close one or two high schools and could veer from other recommendations.
The commission's interim report, released last week, said the district should not shut down any high schools because of safety concerns as students cross gang boundaries traveling to new schools.
Byrd-Bennett also said the list of schools that could be shut down won't be announced before the first set of community hearings on the closings. Last week, she had said the list would be published before the hearings started.
At the first round of community hearings (two to be held in each network), CPS officials will present "high-level" information about the schools in the community. The first hearing will be at 7 p.m. on Jan. 28 at Truman College. After that, they take place nearly every day through February.
By Feb. 13, the list will be complete and the second round of community hearings will take place.
"It is important to not just throw out a list," Byrd-Bennett said Friday. Using the commission's recommendations, she is paring down the original list of 330 underutilized schools and said staff need to take time to figure out how to incorporate some of the more vague recommendations, such as not to close mid-level schools that are "on the rise."
In a letter to the commission, Bryd-Bennett agreed that high schools should be off the table because of potential danger to students. "We will remove high schools from consideration in our efforts to address our utilization challenges," according to the letter.
But Friday, Byrd-Bennett said she could still take action to close dilapidated high schools that pose a health and safety risk and are too expensive to repair. Also, sometimes high schools are so small that the district cannot provide a "robust learning environment," she added. These instances are rare, she said.
According to CPS data, 17 high schools are more than 50 percent underutilized and have hefty price tags for maintenance and repair, including seven with price tags of more than $30 million for upkeep.
Overall, most underutilized schools are in poor, African American neighborhoods. CPS released the latest school-by-school utilization rates in December. CPS officials say they must close schools so that they can spread the district's scarce resources further, but it is unclear how much savings the district will actually incur.
Other recommendations off the table
Byrd-Bennett also said she is not signing on to other recommendations against shutting down schools with more than 600 students, schools with borderline under-utilization rates and schools that have recently experienced a significant action. Byrd-Bennett said she and her staff will look at each school to see if they are likely to attract more students and to figure out what is the definition of a "significant school action."
Having been in Chicago for only a short time, she said she is not sure how school actions have impacted students.
"I need to find out which school, which actions, to which children," she said.
"Over the next few weeks, I will work with my team to characterize this descriptor and assess the impacts to students and their families who have previously been through a previous school action," she writes in the letter to the commission.
Byrd-Bennett says she agrees with the commission that high-performing underutilized schools should be spared, as well as those mid-level schools that seem to be trending upward. She also will not close schools that are adding grades.
She said she and her team will have to figure out the definition of mid-performing schools that are "on the rise."
Though it was outside the boundaries of the School Utilization Commission, they also recommended holding charter schools to the same criteria for closing as traditional CPS schools. Byrd-Bennett said she is committed to creating a unified accountability and closing process for both types of school.
Attached is a list of community hearings, their dates and locations.

Well, the major school
Well, the major school closings are here. It is interesting to me how the school closings in the past were based on performance and this time space utilization was the main criterion for closing schools. But somehow with all of the recommendations being made to spare schools, it appears that underperforming schools in African American and some Latino areas will be the ones to close. So if this were the case, they could have just left performance as the criterion to close the schools. My heart goes out to the many of people that will lose their jobs unexpectedly: some clerks, lunchroom staff, principals, assistant principals, librarians, PE teachers, Art teachers, custodians and some classroom teachers. In reality, some will follow students, but there will not be enough slots for everyone. There may need to be changes, but let people know what they are facing; many people are depending on their income and need to know what they need to do next.

Posted on Woodworkers with small children - how do you budget time for the shop?
#1 posted 05-29-2013 12:08 PM |
My guy is 10.5 months old now and I do the exact same thing as Steve, he's sleeping around 7:30-8 and I hustle it on out to the garage to start making chips fly or fix one of the other numerous things I have at any given time. Prepare for all that free time you had to now be gone especially in the beginning it can be hard if you have a child that doesn't sleep well, then you won't want to go out and work you'll be heading for the bed rather then the shop. Get in a routine quick and during the WOO (window of opportunity, can't remember what months that is) get out of rocking them to bed and just put them in the crib, mine cried for the first couple weeks but then learned it was time for sleep and now just curls up and off to dream land.

A variety of sensory stimuli relieve restless legs syndrome symptoms. Because systematic evaluations of sensory stimulation in restless legs syndrome are largely lacking, we performed a randomized crossover study to evaluate the effect of external sensory stimulation on restless legs syndrome symptoms.
Eighteen patients underwent 3 consecutive suggestive immobilization tests with the order of the following 3 conditions randomly assigned: no electrical stimulation (condition 1), tactile and proprioceptive sensory stimulation (condition 2), and tactile sensory stimulation only (condition 3). Restless legs syndrome symptoms were quantified by visual analog scales, and periodic leg movements during wake were measured.
Baseline visual analogue scale score was 4.5 (range 0-60) in condition 1, 10.5 (range 0-96) in condition 2, and 8.5 in condition 3 (p = 0.21). There was a tendency towards a higher maximum visual analogue scale score and visual analogue scale score at the end of the suggested immobilization test in the conditions with tactile sensory stimulation, though not significant (p = 0.74 and p = 0.29, respectively). Fifteen patients suffered from periodic leg movements during wake. Median indices were 18 (range 0-145) in condition 1, 26 (range 0-190) in condition 2, and 49 (range 0-228) in condition 3 (p = 0.76).
We found a tendency towards less leg discomfort in the conditions in which an external sensory input was applied. This potential benefit of sensory stimuli on restless legs syndrome severity merits further investigation as this could open new ways towards a better pathophysiological understanding and non-pharmacological treatments.

I don't have to worry about a cord sagging by my left side and I can leave my iPhone in one room and go to another all without stopping my music. Yeah, once in a while the music will stop or scratch but it fixes itself and life goes on. If this bothers you, you do have the option to use an auxiliary cord. I enjoy the sound quality and the noise cancellation. Bose noise cancellation is a little better, but I like that these have their own built-in, rechargeable battery. The battery life is nice; I can listen to my music while doing homework for a couple days before having to charge. The charging takes maybe a little over an hour at most.

Phenomenal sound and battery for wireless
These headphones are amazing. Both the style and bass is more subdued compared the previous studio beats and it really works in it These headphones are amazing. Both the style and bass is more subdued compared the previous studio beats and it really works in it's favour. The sound is less muddy by not sacrificing the mids and highs for artificially punchy bass (while keeping the lows well represented). I have only used them a handful of times wired (I'm in wireless 95% of the time) but there is no noticeable difference in sound quality between wired and wireless modes. The range is pretty decent (I get about 25-30 feet through walls/floors) but it is best in open areas. The fit and finish is top notch and it is dead simple to setup and control. Very comfortable too, as I have been using them for weeks now, hours at a time with little to no discomfort. The built-in mic could be a touch louder and the Noise cancelling isn't at the Level of Bose, but it is more than adequate for everything from the daily commute to drowning out office sounds.
They are pricey (the only "con") but if you can swing it, and wireless in important – you won't regret it. …- Written by Roberto F from Winnipeg

In wired mode, will these headphones work even when the battery is flat (but without noise cancellation) or do they stop working altogether?

Need comments from the pros. My upper level heat pump air handler and coil are in the attic. It has a TXV added by the installer to boost the SEER to 12. This system is now over 6 years old. The installer installed an 11 SEER coil (among his several goofs) and the Trane rep instructed him to add the TXV. It has worked without technical problems. But do TXVs sometimes make noise? The noise varies, sometimes faint buzzing of changing frequency and other sounds. The noise of the blower is consistent and I do not think it is the blower. |

sounds like its under charged. Yes txv can make noise. |
- Posted by neohioheatpump (My Page) on Tue, Nov 1, 11 at 12:47
that is a good question. Maybe some techies can shed some light. My heat pump system has made a slight buzz type of noise from day 1 when it is in heatpump mode. I would almost say its like a hum. It doesn't make this noise when cooling in A/C mode or gas furnace mode (I have a dual fuel system). I have listened carefully and it is coming from the coil. I'm wondering is it because of the way the txv was installed? My txv was installed in the field and wasn't installed on the new coil from the factory? Or could it be because slightly under charged? Length of lineset from outdoor unit to coil is about 33 feet. We added almost an extra 1 pound of R-410 I think when it was installed since the line-set was pre-charged for 15-20 feet I think. No problems whith performace. I've tested the heat rise coming from the vents compared indoor temperature. It works good. The humm is much more noticeable when coming out of defrost mode and the hot heat from the gas furnace is blowing over the coil just as it renenters heatpump mode. The louder humm goes away as the 'hot' heat from the furnace is blown out thru the vents and only the heatpump heat is blowing. |

bus_driver...the sounds you hear could very well be coming from the txv, a faint buzz, a hiss, whoosh etc. depending how much refrigerant is being introduced into the evap. coil. It will vary as the temp of the evap. coil varies. |

This post is related to the cheap wines thread that I started a few months ago. I am involved in organizing the first annual Mid-Atlantic Gardeners' Tomato Appreciation Gathering (or MAGTAG - see the Mid Atlantic Gardening forum)scheduled for Aug. 26 in Baltimore. Beer and wine are allowed in the park pavilion that we're renting for the occasion, so I would like to supply some inexpensive but good wine. I've heard that you can get decent-tasting box wines these days - Aussie reds, for example - and would appreciate any recommendations that you all might have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
http://www.damngoodwine.com/vvBoxWine.htm Above and below contain both reviews and recommendations for boxed wines. Consensus: it ain't ALL bad! Personally I haven't had any in years but it's the wine not the packaging that matters. Screw caps are losing their negative stigma among savvy wine drinkers, why not a box. Since the bag inside collapses as the wine is consumed, there is less opportunity for oxidation, therefore the remaining wine still taste decent the next day or so. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Reviews of box wines.
It ain't all bad, but none of it is actually good yet, at least those I have tried. Hardy's, Jacob's Creek, and a few others from Australia make box wine that is drinkable, but not yet "good", although I suppose it is only a matter of time before they are putting even better juice in the boxes. Personally, I think it's a grea idea, but the market is not going to accept good wine in bags for a few years yet, so it is only the cheapest stuff that is going in. The wines from California mentioned in the link are really not worth drinking. At least not if you like wine. Dont' know how much you want to spend, but you can get really nice rose for under $10 a bottle, and really nice whites for the same. Some wonderful roses are available right now for $5 - $10. In fact, they may represent some of the best bargains out. For whites, New Zealand sauvignon blancs tend to be safe - maybe not exceptional but it is hard to find a really bad one. Also look at the big producers in Washington - the Chateau St. Michelle group that includes Columbia Crest and Villa Mt Eden. They make rieslings and chardonnays that are around $6 a bottle and astoundingly good for the prices. Even the Germans have a few rieslings at the QBA level that are worth looking at for under $10. For reds, you might want to look at some Argentine wines - the offerings from Altos las Hormigas, Norton, Dona Paula and others for example, are often as low as $6-$7 and really good. Spain has a lot of under $10 wines - Tres Picos (drinks like a MUCH more expensive Chateauneuf du Pape), Pannaroz, Las Rocas, and others are nice, as well as many from Australia, including the lower end offerings of Hardy's, Wishing Tree, Paringa, and others. Unfortunately, the cheaper California offerings are of lower quality, although if you stay away from Napa and Sonoma, your price/quality ratio improves. Fess Parker is making some nice wines in Santa Barbara. They have pictures of him as Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett on the labels but the wine itself is made by his son and is not bad. Joel Gott has a zin called Three Thieves - his family has been in the wine business forever and he has contacts for good fruit. The wine comes in a little jug but it's a decent buy, not great. |
- Posted by cecilia_md7a (My Page) on Thu, Aug 3, 06 at 14:46
Thanks, barnmom and rosesinny. I found an article on this very subject in Slate Magazine - rosesinny, it even mentions Three Thieves. I'll have to see if that brand is available around here. |

Ok. So according to my game clock, I'm in just over 4 1/2 hours (Just be the first complete dungeon). So far I would call the experience slow and frustrating. I feel like I spend half my time fighting with the controls (I need to recenter my aim after every single use as it seems to totally lose calibration constantly, and I'm just not getting the sort of fidelity I was hoping for with the sword as I can't seem to transition fast enough between moves a lot of times to hit certain enemies). And the other half of the time I spend wondering why my "a" button is no longer allowing me to scroll the text faster (You know, because I read faster than a child).
Yet, based on so much praise for the game, and because I feel like its a game I need to play (I haven't missed a Zelda yet, Zelda II excepted), I really want to keep going. So someone please tell me when this game picks up and delivers on all that positive energy. I want to experience it, but I'm just not seeing it right now.

4.5 Awesome product TheLeech | 19/05/2010 | See all TheLeech's reviews (6) Speaking from experience of taking a previous flatscreen in a car and having a hold punched in it - I thought I didnt want to risk it with my new 24" widescreen 1080p monitor so I thought I would see what case options were available. Bought one of these and it fits perfectly with a hard front to protect it.The only thing I would be aware of is Play's description says "flatscreen" when this is the widescreen version (As I understand Roccat make regular and wide versions of these too) I was a little worried it was going to be a regular version but was very releived when it came and was the wide version.
4.5 Excellent carry case jtes0111 | 06/03/2010 | See all jtes0111's reviews (1) This is a great carry case for LCD screens. I live away from home during the week, so I use this to transport my Dell SP2309W monitor every weekend. It fits snugly around the main part of monitor and has a rigid section to protect damage to the actual screen.The clips tightly secure the bag to the screen - there are two large clips that go vertically and then smaller ones on the sides. The over the shoulder strap and a carry handle are sturdy.I haven't used the additional storage options (clips for a keyboard and a zip pocket on the back).

New Etsy shop is open for business
Aleutie is back on Etsy, this time fully digital. I am using Etsy's new instant download feature, witch removes all hustle dealing with mail for me and reduce the price for the customers.
How it works: after the checkout process, you'll be taken to a page with a link to instantly download the file you choose (no watermark on that file of course). You also will receive an email with your download link - so it won't go anyway. And even if something goes wrong you always can send me a message and I e-mail you your file right away.
I am going to add new items every day, monitoring the customer's interest. There are four sections in the store right now:
"Cards and Invitations" holds files for - you guessed it - holiday cards and party invites. They are all .jpg files in high resolution, formatted to fit standard size cards that goes into standard size envelopes (5 by 7 or 5.5 square). Don't try to print it larger: you'll loose the sharpness
"Stickers and Labels" has files to print your own stickers that can go to canned preserves, notebooks etc. You ether print them on a regular paper and then glue onto whatever object you want to make extra special, or you can buy a special sticker paper and make real stickers on your home printer
"Digital illustrations" are mostly editorial illustrations designed to be used on Internet (and yes, now you can use my illustrations on your blog or web-site or social networking page). They are printable too, of course, and in very good resolution. You can make a poster with them, information brochures etc.
"Files for DIY prints" are big, high resolution .jpg illustrations that go on your wall. Download them, print and frame. I do believe that for many people now it will be easier and cheaper then paying for shipment, waiting for mail to arrive and worry if their print get all crumbled on the way. Let's see if I am right.
There is a long, but not too boring, Policy section that explained customer's licensing rights. I highly recommend reading it before downloading the files. In fact, you as a customer, have quite a lot of rights! You can make amazing things with my illustrations now. Just don't try to resell them and everything will be fine :)
Welcome to my new online shop, please don't hesitate to ask questions if anything need to be cleared. Hope it will be a success. Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Fair Winds and Following Seas, Aleutie take two!

Live Drawing
Every week, on Thursday, at 5 PM I am going to that big chilly dark room at Fine Arts. Drawing a live nude keeps you on your toes. First year students and professors are equal here. No artistic bs, no freedom of self-expression. For these two hours you have to be a realist. You just have to - no matter what is your artistic credo. Feels like home.

Hooray to coffee!
Did you know:
The Guinness-recognized oldest cat ever Creme Puff, who lived to be 38 years old, drank coffee every day. His he owner, Jake Perry, supported his cat's caffeine adiction, mostly because he was also the owner of the previous record holder, Grandpa Rex Allen. He was a coffe drinker as well and died at 34!
The northernmost land mass on Earth is called Coffee Club Island, or "Kaffeklubben Island" in Danish. This small island lying off the northern tip of Greenland and it's a part of Denmark. It was named after an informal "coffee club" of geographers that met regularly at the University of Copenhagen.
Originally coffee was not a beverage, but sort of an energy bar. Arabian tribes used to mix coffee berries with fat and form little energy balls.
Coffee is the second most traded commodity on Earth. The first one is oil. It's also is the second most popular drink on Earth after water.
It would take between 80 and 100 cups of coffee for a lethal dose of caffeine for an average adult. If you think it's a lot, you would like to now that legend has it that Voltaire drunk 50 cups of coffee per day, that daredevil. So, drink up!

Russia and the US launch global initiative to help stop a lethal epidemic: distracted driving.
UNITED NATIONS — By 2030, road accidents will be the fifth leading cause of deaths in the world. Already it is the top killer of young people (15- to 29-year-olds), claiming more than 1.2 million lives every year.
In view of this alarming trend that also causes 50 million injuries a year, the international community has launched a global movement to spread the word that no phone call, text message or email is worth a life.
Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, has prohibited 40,000 U.N. employees from texting while driving for official work. "No SMS is worth an SOS," he said, at the launch of a campaign to end distracted driving in May.
Employers are being encouraged to enact anti-distracted driving rules worldwide. Last October, U.S. President Barack Obama issued an executive order that banned all federal employees from texting while driving.
The new project involves getting governments to enact anti-distracted driving laws and changing individual driver behavior. In its road safety report, the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out that 90 percent of road deaths occur in developing countries, involving mostly pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
More than half of the fatalities occur in 10 countries: Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and the U.S. The global losses are estimated to be $518 billion and costs governments between 1 and 3 percent of GDP, according to the WHO.
There is now a push to characterize distracted driving not just as an unsafe practice, but a lethal epidemic. In 2008, nearly 6,000 people died and more than a half a million were injured in the U.S. for lack of attention on the road.
Ray Lahood, secretary of transportation, described the mounting death toll as "the least recognized health safety crisis of the 21st century."
"As the number of cars on the roads and cell phone subscriptions worldwide continue to multiply, the number of tragedies will continue to rise," he said, noting that by 2030 road accidents would kill more people than HIV-AIDS, diabetes, malaria and tuberculosis.
Jennifer Smith, a leading voice against distracted driving in the U.S., lost her mother in 2008 when a 20-year-old driver crashed into her car killing her in Oklahoma.
"The first thing he said when he got out of the car was that he was on his phone and he never saw my mother's car right in front of him," said Smith, speaking emotionally at the U.N. headquarters.
After her mother's death, Smith founded FocusDriven, an advocacy group in Texas that fights for mobile-free driving. All of its partners have lost loved ones in accidents caused by distracted drivers.
A new member, Jacy Good, lost both parents on her college graduation day in Pennsylvania, two years ago, when a tractor swerved to avoid hitting an 18-year-old driver talking on his mobile phone but instead rammed into their car.
"The distracted driving epidemic is not just an Oklahoma or a Pennsylvania problem." said Smith. "It is a human problem affecting the entire world. These are human lives being taken for a phone call."
Studies show that distracted drivers are four times more likely to get into an accident. According to AAA/Seventeen magazine survey of 1,000 teens in the U.S., 46 percent text messaged while driving and 51 percent talked on the phone while driving.
Several nations and civil society organizations have already launched initiatives to prevent distracted driving deaths. Portugal, for instance, has outlawed all phone use in the driver's seat. Individual endeavors include efforts like those of talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, who asks guests and viewers to sign a pledge not to drive and use mobile phones.
Now the United States and Russia have jointly launched the global initiative to end distracted driving. In March, Russia sponsored a U.N. General Assembly resolution that declared 2011-2020 as decade of road safety action and specifically discouraged texting while driving. Russia also hosted the first-ever global road safety summit in March, called "Make Roads Safe."

We are two couples, in our late fifties, planning to travel around Australia in a Winnibego or car + B&B's for 4 months. AS one of us is a teacher, she would like to start in August or September. Some of us would like to start in January. Planning to start in Sydney as we all have family there, Clockwise or anti clockwise? Advice please! Positive and negative!
What season is best to travel around Australia?
12 Replies | Jump to last reply |

Mmmm 4 months for a trip around Australia is realistically nowhere near enough time. We travelled for 12 months and dearly wished we could have had an extra 6 months so it didn't feel so rushed!
I think it is best to cover the Great Ocean Road from East to West. The rest I don't think it really matters which direction you go.
We based our start from Woollongong in January and timed things so that we would be in the Red Centre for the winter months - arriving around May/June if I recall. I know we were in Broome in July (heading south towards Perth).
We were very fortunate that year (1997) as we only experienced 6 days of rain for the entire time and the weather seemed perfect wherever we went.
With only 4 months I'd be inclined to take the August departure and just focus on exploring our Red Centre. Or a pocket of the country that particularly interests you.
Honestly, you could lose yourself for 4 months in any ONE state of Australia with no problems at all.
It just seems a little ambitious to me to be thinking you can travel around Australia comfortably in 4 months. I don't wish to be the wet blanket and am happy to offer further advice but it is something to consider.
Just saying! -

I think the key consideration will be to avoid the north of the country during the Wet Season. I'd suggest starting in Sydney in mid winter (say mid July) then heading north. Maybe 4-6 weeks winding up the east coast, then from Cairns heading across the Gulf country to the Top End (Darwin Kakadu, Litchfield, Katherine, etc). Here you'd either head down the middle of the country to Alice, Uluru, Coober Pedy, the Flinders Ranges and Adelaide over the next 4-6 weeks; or continue SW through the Kimberley, down along the west coast to Perth, then east to Adelaide over 6 weeks. In either case, you'd aim to get to Adelaide by the middle of October. Then make your way via the Kangaroo Island, Great Ocean Rd, Grampians, Melbourne, Wilson promontory, Canberra, South Coast, etc to Sydney over your last month.
Report Abuse
Are you coming to Western Australia?
If so, you'd do best to avoid Jan-March unless you like incredibly hot and often sticky weather.
April-May and Sept-November are excellent times to visit though. Sept-Nov will put you here during wildflower season, which is pretty spectacular. -

I'd take the August start option and work your way south east. In August, the wildflowers starting in WA; FNQ is at its best; not too hot in Central Australia. Usually good weather, with the usual Spring vagaries of most countries, and warming up in the South. Tasmania is gorgeous at any time, but especially so in Spring & Autumn.
Looks like a great trip. Friends have just come back from 3 months moseying around parts of Queensland & Central Australia in a winnebago & loved it. They're locals, so have the luxury of taking their time and go away for 3 or 4 months each year. -

In four months you can get a quick look at the eastern third of the country. An August start up the coast from Sydney would be good and then you could return south via an inland route. Southern Australia can be stinking hot in mid to late summer but it does not last long as a rule. The north east coast does not get particularly hot but the humidity knocks some people around. I strongly suggest that rather than relying on our opinions you check the climate data at www.bom.gov.au
How well do the two couples travel together? How similar are your interests? Have you worked out ways to give each other (as couples and individuals) a bit of space? -

My mother and father-in-law (who are Australian) travelled around Oz in 4 months in a car with a tent. They are fairly active people - in their 60's - and found it a very busy 4 months! It is do-able but it will be hectic.
As for the best time to travel here - I am a Queenslander and it's hot from September through until April. We do get the the wet season in northern QLD but it can be beautiful - waterfalls are full and the landscape comes to life.
If you start in Sydney in August - I would probably travel north first & follow something like:
NSW & QLD - August
NT & top of WA - Septmber
WA & SA - October
VIC & Tas - November
That would have you finishing off our typically warmer months in a cooler part of Oz.
Happy Travels! -

4 months.. you are so lucky. You will love Australia! I think everyone above has covered everything well.

Going right round Oz from Sydney, Grey Nomad wisdom seems to be to travel anticlockwise, to take advantage of the prevailing winds when coming back west to east across the Nularbor.
Personally, as an east coast Aussie, I hate February - too sticky and hot. The winter months would be much nicer. Today would be perfect for travelling, it's clear and sunny, though windy and cold. EllaViv's advice sounds good to me. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

Just adding my tuppence worth. We visited Darwin down to Alice Springs in July / early August and had the most awesome warm weather - a gentle 28 degrees Celsius, low humidity. To me that would be the place to start, ending up in Sydney in October / November when the weather is warmer. I've been to Sydney in October 2011 and 2012 and the weather was mild at 19 - 22 degrees.

Season is really something to take in consideration when traveling to places. I have also read this on Travel Explosion as a family goes on a trip to Australia. Mostly are saying that you should avoid the wet season so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest.

With regards to the wet season it depends a bit on your attitude.
I love north Queensland in the wet and do get people coming here at that time of year because of the verdant nature of the nature. Birding can be more challenging in the rain but it does not rain all the time. On the other hand a lot of people melt in the rain. Tropical rain is not as cold and therefore does not make one as uncomfortable as getting wet in a cold climate. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
