Where should I go?

Postby LBT » Mon Jan 12, 2009 11:04 am

On Holidays in the last two weeks of February. For one of those weeks I want to go somewhere in Australia for say 4-5 days. Anyone got some suggestions of where i should go?
I went to Tassie and did the Great Ocean Road last year but apart from that, i havent really gone much elsewhere.

The Riverland.
A good spot, with plenty of water, despite the negative publicity in the Adelaide media.
Make it a road trip - start at Mannum, spend a night there.
Head to Waikerie via Swan Reach and Morgan. Spend a night on the Murray River Queen.
Then head up river to Loxton/Barmera/Berri or Renmark.
All have waterfront accommodation.
If you want to go further - head across to Mildura.
A good road trip, without having to go too far from home.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Go to the Gold Coast, 4 or 5 days there will get you to all the parks and Feb is the best time of year to go as it's not as crowded...

LOL I wanna go away now ... Anytime I head down there I don't really get into the water activities, but for some reason it's a part of the world that I've always loved and always look forward to visiting.

If you're looking interstate, I really don't think you can beat WA, just sensational over there.

Hamilton Island is a pearler for a few days especially if you enjoy sailing....
The joy of being on the hill drinking beer cannot be understated

Somewhere down the Great Ocean Road. Going there at that time of year would be sensational!

I spent Christmas at Coffin Bay, it's a great place and it will be alot quieter at that time too. Good fishing as well (especially if you have a boat)

Yes, it is a beautiful place, i spent New Years there a few years back and it was beautiful, plenty of stuff for the kids to do and very relaxing for the adults.

It is so good, i am going back there this New Years as well.
