- (1888PressRelease) July 31, 2013 - This week DAE revealed the top five most popular Australian holiday destinations according to their Pacific members.
#5 - Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie is located halfway between the Gold Coast and Sydney, at the mouth of the Hastings River. A temperate climate can be experienced year-round in this coastal township, which features beautiful beaches, splendid national parks, a plethora of attractions, and a bounty of restaurants, cafes, and shopping.
Activities to be enjoyed in Port Macquarie include swimming at any of 14 beaches, fishing at Port Macquarie port, and exploring historical sites such as Timbertown. While there, one may also want to consider touring the Hastings River wine region, starting at the Sherwood Wine Embassy, which, in addition to providing tastings, also offers maps and brochures for most of the area's wineries.
#4 - Coffs Harbour
Situated nearly halfway between Brisbane and Sydney lies Coffs Harbour, a gorgeous beachside city well known for its relaxed atmosphere, breathtaking coast, and multitude of attractions and events offered year-round. These include sporting events like the Coffs Harbour Gold Cup Race and food festivals like the Woolgoolga Curry Festival. In September, Coffs Harbour hosts its week-long International Buskers and Comedy Festival, featuring over 120 shows in 15 different venues.
And of course, the city has tons of family-friendly activities to enjoy at any time, including water sports, adventure, restaurants and cafes, the Pet Porpoise Pool Oceanarium, which has daily seal and dolphin shows, the Butterfly House, the Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve, and the Big Banana, one of the oldest and most-visited theme parks in Australia, with children's rides, an ice-skating rink, a waterslide, lakes, and shops.
#3 - Mornington Peninsula
Located just one hour southeast of Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula combines European coastal life with Australian appeal, offering galleries, cafes and spas in seaside villages, breathtaking beaches, gorgeous gardens, the hot springs and boutique wineries. Golf aficionados will enjoy taking a swing at any one Mornington Peninsula's 19 golf courses.
#2 - Inland Victoria
While most don't associate Australia with great skiing, the fact remains that Inland Victoria has a bigger area of ski fields than Switzerland. Most runs are located below the tree line, providing the unique experience of skiing between eucalyptus trees. The Victorian ski towns border the massive Alpine National Park, another must-see. Inland Victoria is also excellent for sporting activities that don't require snow, such as bush walking, horseback riding and trout fishing.
#1 - Gold Coast
This modern, glittering city of high-rises offers spectacular beaches, including the world-famous "Surfers Paradise." As Australia's sixth largest city, the second largest in the Queensland state, the Gold Coast offers a never-ending array of things to see and do, including theme parks, designer boutiques, spa retreats, topnotch golf courses, esteemed eateries, lively bars and nightclubs, and a series of monthly events and festivals held throughout the year.
As Australia's surfing capital, it's no surprise to see surf champions in action at the Gold Coast, in the world's best surf competition, the Quicksilver & Roxy Pro. Swimming is also big in Australia, and one can witness the best in Gold Coast's Coolangatta Classic ocean swim.
Natural attractions in the Gold Coast include whale watching, island hopping and exploring any one of the area's national parks, which include Lamington, Border Ranges, Main Range, Nightcap, and Mt. Warning National Park.
