I was born and bred in Quirindi, and although I am only 12, I know the Castle Mountain area well, and I would love to stay there. HIGHLY recommended!
Jindabyne comes alive during the months of June through to September when the winter snow season is in full swing.There are good pubs and restaurants all within walking distance of each other. Check out the live music or maybe grab a steak at the one of the restaurants after a great day skiing or snowboarding.
Terrigal is a great place -- heaps of excitement and a great beach to top it off.
I live in Sydney and have to brag that the Royal National Park is just spectacular - especially if you want to see a diverse range of habitat in one location, within an hour or two of Sydney's CBD. The Royal has rainforest in the south, wet and dry sclerophyl forests in the north, heath along the north eastern coast, moors a little inland, swamps in the west and a myriad of creeks and rivers. Along with such diverse habitats come dozens, if not hundreds of bird species, a variety of mammals, lizards, snakes, frogs and fish.
The park has dozens of walking tracks with all grades of difficulty, from short walks to day walks and overnight walks. To anyone visiting Australia, especially for the first time, be aware that the outdoors environment can be harsh - be very sure you know what you're doing if you plan on any serious walking, and be aware that surf conditions along the park demand that you only swim if you are very experienced with surf. But don't let me frighten you away - the…
Caves Beach is the most beautiful place in the world. I have lived here for 8 years and have attended all of the local schools. I highly recommend this area to local tourists and overseas visitors.
I loved Sydney and Australia. I went for the spring in 2001 and stayed in a southern suburb of Sydney called Glebe. I loved everything. My boyfriend and I got a camper RV and drove up the coast for a 3 weeks, it was so amazing, and we even got to the great barrier reef and the Whitsunday Islands. You have to go, if you have even the smallest desire, its worth it!!
Moree sucks ass. It's too damn hot and swarmed with murderous bloodythirsty kangeroo's.
Kiama is lovely and I would love to go there again.
Batemans Bay is very far from the beach and attractions -- too far if you do not have transport.
Merimbula … If you only visit 1 place between Sydney & Melbourne -- make it here. It's MAGIC!
Kangaroo Valley … It was beautiful and unspoilt. I hope they maintain that charm.
Port Macquarie … If you want to have an awesome experience in a friendly, affordable and beautiful town, COME TO PORT! There are endless things to do and see.
Katoomba … Katoomb (Blue Mountains area) is a gift from God! A beautiful sight to behold and to keep in your memories of places traveled. Just don't visit all the tourist traps. Go to the out of way places. Study the landscape, look at the wildlife. Megalong Valley is a must see area, as well as Perry's look out. If you see a Lyre Bird... you are so lucky, we saw one and thought it to be magnificent!!! Happy packing everyone. Evie (USA)
Nundle … It is the most great bloody place in the whole world.
Nowra … It was very pleasing, with a lot of things to do around its region as well.
Avalon … We were there 10 years ago and it was fantastic. We loved it and would recommend it to everyone.
Coonabarabran … Passed through here in January 2000 with my wannabe surfer ex-boyfriend. One of the locals shouted "You're a long way from the sea, mate," when they saw his board on the roof of the car. Still makes me laugh when I think of it.
Ulladulla … There are lots of dolphins in the water. The place has great surfing and swimming beaches and the aboriginal stories on the walks are very interesting. Take the bikes and go to dolphin point. The weather is nice most of the time.
Byron Bay … I'm in Byron right now. Great place. A must see.
