5 Awesome Holiday Destinations
Byron Bay
A magnificent seaside town located in Norther New South Wales and home to the most eastern point of Australia. Back in the dream time period of Australian History, Byron Bay was known as Cavvanbah and was a place for the native Australian Aborigines to congregate swap stories, find marriage partners and trade goods. Now Byron Bay is a tourism magnet to backpackers and people looking for a small beach town holiday. Home to some of Australia's best music festivals, they include the East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival and Splendor In The Grass. Byron Bay is also a very popular whale watching destination during the winter migration of the Humpback Whale.
Mt Tamborine
Mt Tamborine is located high above the Gold Coast on a plateau within the Gold Coast Hinterland. Mt Tamborine has developed a booming tourism industry thanks to the increasing popularity of its locally owned and unique restaurants, accommodation options and health and spa retreats. For nature lovers and hikers Mt Tamborine also has a number of well cared for trials that snake through rainforest, past cliffs, waterfalls and across trickling streams full of life. Some of the well known tracks include Curtis Falls rainforest track, the Knoll. Mt Tamborine also host a very popular town market that is held on the second Sunday of every month.
Airlie Beach
A part of the Whitsunday Region in QLD, Australia and a departure point to the wold famous Great Barrier Reef, Airlie Beach is slowly steeping out of the shadows as a tourist destination with a lot to offer. Airlie Beach is also known for its deadly marine stingers, such as the Box Jellyfish. To combat this problem, the local council has build a protected area/lagoon on the foreshore to allow taking a swim a safe activity all year round. If you planning on visiting Airlie Beach, plan to be in town for the Blessing Of The Feet Festival started by Father Keith Felgate on Whit Sunday or Pentecost Sunday.
Blue Mountains
One of Australia's most mountainous areas in New South Wales, just outside of Sydney. Rising to 1,190 m above sea level it is home to seven national parks and conservation reserves. The fourth area in New South Wales to be listed as a World Heritage Area by UNESCO on the 29th of November, 2000. The area is approximately 10,000km square and is rich with Aboriginal culture and history, spectacular waterfalls, pictures sandstone cliffs and of course the blue haze that can be seen from a distance looking down the valleys and is of course how the area got its name.
Yamba
In 2009 Yamba was voted the number 1 town in Australia by the Australian Traveller Magazine. Located on the south side of the might clarence river, Yamba is a beautiful seaside holiday destination. The local culture of Yamba has been influenced over the years as its popularity as a sea-change destination for baby boomers and early retirees who prefer the slightly warner climate without the crowds of nearby places like the Gold Coast and Noosa. Yamba Accommodation is varied with something to suite every traveller. With the main local industry being fishing you have the freshest seafood available in Australia at restaurants or from the local fish and chip shop. Yamba is without doubt my favourite place to take a break in Australia and recharge the batteries.
