3. BEACHES & SUN BONDI BEACH BYRON BEACH Bondi beach makes your beach journey complete. Less about the actual quality of the beach itself and more about the surroundings, atmosphere, history and people watching, like it or not, Sydney‘s famous stretch of sand at Bondi is a long-time fixture and also something of an icon in Aussie beach culture. Byron has come a long way in terms of development from its early days. Modern cafes and bars have been popping up over the years along with increasing i n t e r e s t f r o m p r o p e r t y developers, however, one thing that has remained unchanged is the quality of its beaches. Sporting a long, typically uncrowded stretch of coastline that is reached with a short trip from the Gold Coast and various other Northern New South Wales destinations is the contributing factor. WINEGLASS BAY One of the most impressive Tassie beaches is the spectacular Wineglass Bay within Freycinet National Park. Reached an approximate 2-hour drive from Launceston and 3 hour trip from Hobart, the beach is a fair hike but it is worth the effort. lak Ski Resort in the Medeu Valley.

Spend your afternoon admiring desert wildlife at  Alice Springs Desert Park where you can see dingoes, princess parrots and near-extinct Central Australian marsupials such as the 30 centimetre tall  mala, a tiny, shaggy-haired kangaroo.  r e s o r t ' s NINGALOO REEF Marine playgrounds don’t get much better than this.
