A lot of travel agents claim to be Aussie experts but does your local travel agent know:

• why you shouldn't swim off the beach in Far North Queensland in January?
• Why you can't find a hotel room in Melbourne during the first week of November?
• How long it takes to drive between Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock)?
  

If they don't know the answers to these questions then they are not Aussie specialists.
