Australia
Looking to plan another trip and have been thinking Australia. Any suggestions for area/location. I know Yolanda is keen on beach areas so this would be important.

What time of year are you planning to go Down Under? October is a great time. It’s Spring and weather isn’t too hot.

How long are you planning to go for? Also do you have any specific interests outside of beaches as we’ve got a stack of great beaches here! |

Great time to go. Beaches in NSW to see are of course Bondi...I like Coogee beach too
There is Byron Bay in NSW which is also a popular tourist spot and surf beach. Qld has plenty but you might want to stop at Surfers Paradise for a few nights. All the major Theme Parks are there (if you have kids) Melbourne has St.Kilda beach which is a popular tourist destination (but nothing special). The 12 Apostles are a must visit. They’re about a 3 hr drive from Melbourne but worth a look. I live in Melbourne so let me know if you’re there. All the best |

The Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane have more pristine beaches. Less crowded than the Gold Coast.
And if you need to listen to some music, head over to Brisbane HiFi [emoji51] shameless plug. But the voltage difference and the high Australian tax means no bueno for HiFi bargains so it’s more to get an audio fix. Brisbane itself is pretty much a snore fest as far as tourist destinations are concerned. It’s just a nice place to live. But just beyond the city, there are nice nature reserves. And of course the beaches north (Sunshine Coast) and south (Gold Coast). Melbourne is a more interesting place to visit. Culturally and historically more diverse. And there are vineyards just a few hours drive away.

Melbourne is great; the harbor at Sydney is incredible and there's Bondi Beach for Yolanda. Also, if you can get to South Australia, Adelaide is nice and the Barossa Valley is close by.
