Byron Bay Surf Beaches Some Of The Best Australia Has To Offer
May 27, 2011
Byron Bay surf beaches are among the best in Australia The key to it all is the cape. Cape Byron is a large pivot point that bends heavy swells and helps to shape them into fast, hollow sections that thrill even the most experienced riders. It also provides great protection from both northerly and southerly winds.
Tallows Beach lies south of the cape. About 3 kms of its northern stretch is backed by the Arakwal National Park providing welcome seclusion welcomed by many of the locals. Tallows is not patrolled and the rips can be severe.
If a northerly wind is blowing the far northern pocket of Tallows will be a still oasis. Known as Cosy Corner it is protected by the high cliff of the cape. If the swell conditions are right, it has a spectacular left-hander.
On the north side of the cape, at its very tip, Little Wategos lies quiet and secluded. Accessed only by a narrow walking track, this unique little beach can be totally under water during a high tide. It is unpatrolled and often taken as a clothes optional zone.
Wategos and The Pass are probably the two top surf spots around Byron. Wategos is overlooked by some of the finest homes in the district and a popular meeting spot for local swim clubs. It has a gradually sloped bottom that, in small to moderate swells, produces a Waikiki-style full wave perfect for long boarders.
The Pass loves a big swell and is a full-on top gun zone when working. It is ranked among the top 15 surf beaches in Australia. The Pass can at times be a spot because it also the launching point for the daily scuba diving, snorkeling and, from May to November, the whale watching boats.
Clarks Beach sits deep in the pocket as a contiguous stretch to south of Main Beach. Sheltered from most winds and swells and winds, it is favored by young families and surf learners. It is patrolled in the summer months. Main Beach is the closest to town and home of the Byron Bay Surf Club. The surf breaks off Main Beach are the safe and provide a long, long ride across the bay.
Finally, Belongil Beach is a long open expanse starting stretching north of the town. It begins about 1 kilometer north of Main Beach, more or less where the wreck of the SS Wollongbar lies (about 60 meters offshore). The Wreck was completely dismantled after it sunk in 1921. Only the steering mechanism and boilers remain. These are visible on spring low tides and make a popular snorkeling spot.
This accommodation at byron bay is pretty good. You should definitely come see the byron bay resorts, we believe you will really enjoy them when you arrive there soon.
Reasons You Should Buy A Quality Towbar, Not A Cheap One
January 29, 2011
As a family, we love to drive off and go camping for weekends, or weeks at a time. We mostly keep it really simple, a tent, sleeping bags and a car full of provisions. Last year though, for a change, we decided to rent a caravan and do it that way. Not having a towbar on the jeep, I clearly needed to get one installed.
With this in mind, I took the jeep down to the professionals at All Vehicle Accessories (AVA) to get a towbar installed. Initially I wanted the cheapest model I could find, the less I spent here, the more I could spend on the caravan. I am glad I talked to the guys though, in their experience they showed me the folly of my ways.
To begin with, they got me thinking about the types of things I wanted to tow. Obviously there was the caravan for the upcoming trip. Following on from that though, I’d probably buy some bike beaks too as my wife loves triathlons. We could take the bikes up to the Dandenongs for a ride.
From there is was a simple comparison of the increments (between cheap and quality) with the prices of the items the towbar was looking after. So between the two bikes we own, there is about $6,000 worth of equipment to start with.
I didn’t know how much caravans were worth, I had to do some research on them to figure that one out. But I now know that you’ll be lucky to get anything under $5000 for a caravan and they actually go all the way up to about $120,000. That certainly is a “heavy” load for the towbar.
The conversation really changed my opinion on the type of towbar I needed. When you really start thinking about the value of the goods you are towing, from bikes, to caravans, to boats, its a bit silly scrimping and saving on the only piece of equipment that is holding it to the vehicle. Its certainly a risk I decided not to take. I’d upgraded my preferences on quality lines. Instead of going cheap I decided I wanted as robust and safe a towbar I could get.
The AVA professionals pointed out to me that the Hayman Reese towbars are the only brand in Australia which carries a lifetime guarantee. This I thought was pretty telling, especially as quality was now the issue. I was almost sold. These particular towbars though had two additional features which absolutely convinced me.
They have this thing they call a “Weight Distribution Hitch”. When applied to your towbar, this hitch actually reduces the drag on your vehicle by reducing ball weight. And you know what that means. By paying a little more for a quality towbar and weight distribution hitch, all of a sudden you are saving money on fuel, on tyre wear and all the other things that wear out faster when you are pulling something. So it actually is a dis-economy to go the cheaper option on a towbar.
They also sell this cool gadget called Sway Control. It basically keeps whatever you are pulling on the straight and narrow, despite high winds, trucks coming the other way etc. Have you ever seen those retired people who are pulling a caravan behind them when a truck drives past the other way. Have you ever seen how much their caravan swerves all over the road when this happens due to the blast of air. The sway control stops this happening to you, making for a safer and once again, more efficient trip. This is very important to me given my family will be sitting next to me in the Jeep.
I have to thank the guys at AVA for their help on this one. They gave me perspective, an understanding that finding the cheapest towbar is probably not the cheapest way to tow and ensured my tow set up was as safe as it could be. What more could you ask for?
Damian Papworth understands the expense of quality towbars and bike racks are mimimal in comparison to the vehicles they are towing.
Business Opportunities in the Surf Industry
March 19, 2010
Surfing is an activity that has acquired a unique place for itself in the public conscience-not necessarily one defined by the endless pursuit of financial success. Yet that is not necessarily a fair depiction, and in fact there are more business opportunities to be had in the surf field than most people would imagine.
That’s due to the fact that surfing has captured so many people’s imagination, completely fascinating entire generations of people, with fans stretching throughout all age categories and across all social boundaries. To put it simply, anything that provokes such a massive following necessarily must have some sorts of doable business opportunities associated to it.
The most decisive feature of surfing as a sport from the perspective of an entrepreneur is that fact that it is a logistical nightmare to bring one’s gear with them everywhere they want to surf, and therefore isn’t even attempted by many. A surfboard is not a very wieldy object and transporting one can present serious, often insurmountable challenges. And, as any savvy entrepreneur ought to know, a challenge for one is an opportunity for another.
In this regard, a surfboard rental operation is a very legitimate and viable undertaking which can prove to be much more rewarding than may be imagined at first. Of course, certain base conditions need to be met in order for this to be the case: you’ve got to be on or near a good beach with decent surf conditions. Otherwise, you’re basically shooting in the dark.
Another consideration to keep in mind has to do with the condition of the surf equipment which you would be offering to rent out. Despite the fact that many surfers don’t have enough money to be picky with what they rent, it would be foolish to let this trend convince you to short-change your clients. Penniless though many surfers may be, the surfing community is remarkably interactive and shares such information with amazing speed and consistency at the regional and even the international level. Hence, if a couple of serious surfers have a negative experience with your business, you will be effectively guaranteeing yourself a bad reputation and thereby missing out on future customers.
Another business model that can be launched in relation to the surfing field essentially consists of taking the previous idea and making it apply across a much broader range of issues: in addition to merely renting out equipment, furnishing a means of transportation and even possibly lodging for wayward surfers, as well as practically anything else they m Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-focus is explicitly on the traveling surfer audience, which brings in a lot more people.
An advantage to this model is that the people at hand are more likely to have the money on them to afford your services, and make them profitable. The fundamental idea here is providing a comprehensive service to surfers traveling somewhere-in this case, traveling to your neck of the beach.
To start such an endeavor you will need: a good stock of quality surfing equipment; the time availability to attend to the needs of out-of-towners; and the ability to be flexible and intuitive in your business operations. Given these conditions, and with the support of a global network of surf aficionados (mainly via the web), you can ultimately create a dream business completely revolving around surfing…something many people would simply die for.
Damian Papworth knows real business opportunities are hard to find these days. This is why he created one in the surf travel industry
What To Know About Extreme Sports
February 28, 2010
Are you tired of playing sports that are not that exciting? Do you seek thrills and exhilaration and want to feel challenged and pushed to your limit? If you think you do, then give extreme sports some consideration.
Activities that have a type of danger in them are extreme sports. They involve things like physical exertion, stunts, special gear, speed, and height. There are three kinds you can do; air, land, and water.
An example of an air sport is bungee jumping. When doing this, you will be tied securely with a cord to something that is mounted and also stable. Then you will jump from a high structure, such as a ledge or bridge. There are people that also prefer to jump from moving things like balloons, helicopters, and planes. Some who participate in this also like sky diving.
Another one is hang gliding. You get to be the pilot for this as you hang onto an aircraft known as a hang glider. You glide and fly in the air by using your feet to launch from. The gliders are constructed of fabric and aluminum. The harness that secures you will protect you and you guide the glider by using the weight of your body.
A land sport is snowboarding. This is a great option for those that want to participate in an extreme activity yet live in snowy and cold areas. Mountains are what many snowboard off of, but you can also do freeriding, dry slope, and jibbing and rail riding. Freeriding is just like free styling, so you board on all terrain that you desire. Dry slope means that you choose to board on man made slopes. Jibbing and rail riding is something many do in parks because it involves boarding over obstacles and rails.
A water sport is snorkeling. This is where you swim through water after diving using fins and a snorkel. People tend to go snorkeling in oceans and other large bodies of water. Some do this in order to observe and experience the under water aquatic life that cannot be seen on land. Places where you can scuba dive and resorts usually offer this activity.
With the information you are now aware of about extreme sports, you can decide if you want to pursue it. It does not make a difference where you live or the weather because there are always many options. These can be hazardous but it is much safer with the right practice, gear, and training.
Are conventional sports not that exiting to you? Do seek a more thrilling and exhilarating experience that will challenge and push you to the limit? If so, surfing may just be the thing for you! We’ve got the inside info on surfboard hire and the best surf magazine .
Planning Your Business And Your Van
February 11, 2010
When starting up a business, depending on the type of service you want to offer, many business have a method of transportation. If your company specializes in making house calls for a minor inquiry such as computer installation or pizza delivery, a car is the standard choice. But for medium to heavy duty work, you business and your van is a good combination.
Check out the many examples on why you would want to use a van over a car. For businesses that require technical work, then a van would be exceptional. For a carpet cleaning business, a van could hold industrial-sized cleaning chemicals, vacuums, and steamers.
The number one use of vans are for installing cable service. Cable vans commonly hold ladders on top of the van, while the back hold excess of cable wires and cable converter boxes. Although, one van will not be enough to cater to the whole neighborhood and requires multiple vans for timely visits to other customers.
If you own a landscaping business, a van is also a perfect vehicle to make rounds around the neighborhood. A van can fit weed whackers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and material for building gardens. Landscaping can be a cluttered business that your van cannot possibly fit everything. If this is the case, then a trailer can be attached to carry ride-on law mowers and other tools necessary to complete the job.
Not only that carpet cleaning, cable, and landscaping businesses benefit from vans, but privately owned moving companies, package delivery, and hauling companies are other examples of having a van for business use. Non-profit organizations also use vans for serving the elderly or for people who are unable to drive due to disability. For all others, a van is much smaller than a box truck used by bigger moving companies.
Chances are, that if you already own a van for personal use, it will save you time and money, It can also of course reduce the stress of transporting bulky equipment in a small car. Once your business gains enough attention and sends more sales your way with advertising, renting vans is another step to expanding you business and your van fleet.
When you own a company, the next step, is to own a company van. A company van can serve many purposes, not only to advertise your company, but to get your service from Point A to Point B making van shelving and van fitouts important.
From France And Beyond: Getting To Know The Tour De France
December 28, 2009
For most Americans, the initial images that come to mind when one mentions sports are group athletics on a field. Football, baseball, and basketball are the holy trinity of sporting events States-side, but to Europeans, older and more traditional activities reign supreme.
Those in the United States might not understand the appeal of the race, but getting to know The Tour de France means starting to get excited about watching people on bicycles, too. For most amateur athletes, even a vague understanding of how fit one has to be to even consider making it to the end, let alone winning, is enough to give the race a little bit of time in between other television programming.
The biggest mistake that people make when thinking about The Tour de France is thinking the race just lasts for a couple of days, or is actually not that long, but is spread out time-wise. In reality, the race is thousands of miles long, usually lasts for 21 days of continuous riding, and has been known not just to span France, but the surrounding countries, too. Riders have to navigate some of the steepest and most dangerous roads in France, and must be in peak physical shape to even think about doing a good job.
One of the most exciting parts of The Tour de France is the fact that, every year, the route changes. In actuality, the distance for the race can vary a great deal, with the shortest clocking in around 1,500 miles, and the longest somewhere around 3,570 miles. Riders never know quite what they’re going to get, and neither do the fans, who line small mountain passes as well as city streets, ecstatic to cheer their favorites on.
But not just anyone can qualify–or survive–a ride in The Tour de France. Riders planning on tackling The Tour de France have to be in peak physical shape, because the race is one of the most demanding sporting events in the entire world of sports, not just bicycle racing. With very little time to rest and recuperate, and literally hundreds of miles of biking up and down mountain roads ahead of them, riders have to train for months and months to get anywhere ready to compete.
The Tour de France is known for the toll it takes on both the body and the mind, to say nothing of the bicycle itself. Add to that the fact that it’s possible to never win a single portion of the race, but still triumph at the end, and no wonder riders are exhausted and disoriented for much of the experience, unsure of exactly where they stand in the rank. That only makes it more fun for the fans, who crowd the streets to shout encouraging words to the riders at every turn.
While Europe has long praised the race, worked itself into a fervor over the conclusion, and pointedly supported riders the way that long-term Red Sox fans root for their home team in baseball, America has gotten on board in recent years since they became one of the big winners. Ever since one of their own started pummeling the Europeans, interest in the race, and in cycling in general, has grown.
Who managed to change American opinion on The Tour de France? A single rider, Lance Armstrong, who managed to win The Tour de France not once, not twice, not three times, but SEVEN times, in a row. He managed to come back from a devastating cancer diagnosis to triumph in the race, and led to a lot of bicycling-related patriotism for those Americans who might not have even been interested in the race in the first place.
But whether it’s cheering for an obscure 20-something who might just have his lucky day, poring over old film footage of racers making their way up the mountains in grainy black and white, or getting excited for Lance Armstrong and wondering if an American will ever do that well again, there’s no denying the appeal of The Tour de France.

Share Your Travel Experiences – Let The World Benefit
December 14, 2009
Travel is one of my true loves. I caught the travel bug when travel became a part of my career. My first overseas assignment was a week in Thailand. This trip can only be described by the word “whirlwind”. 13 hour days at the office, followed up by dinner engagements every night. I didn’t get to see Bangkok at all so I decided to take the following Monday off work and stay for the long weekend. Those three days changed my life. Suddenly I was hooked on seeing new places.
Since then I have been lucky enough to travel a lot. Africa, Europe, Asia, I’ve spent significant amounts of time in all continents. The Americas are still on my list, but the more I travel, the longer my list gets. We have such a short life, there is so much to see.
In my youth, quite often I lacked foresight. I failed to do the things I should have to make life better as I went along. Not so with my travel experiences. I always remembered to pack my cameras, a travel diary and a pen. Travel became the inspiration for my art. Now I have a wondrous array of photos adorning my walls and literature packing my bookshelves. All remind me of the wonderful experiences I’ve had and the tremendous personal growth that resulted.
When reminiscing, I realise that it was in seeing the diversity the world has to offer, that my mind has been opened. I understand now that there is often no right or wrong, there is just different. And different isn’t bad, it is there to be respected, it is there to create thought, it is there to be enjoyed.
I also see that in being accepting of the people who shared their lives with me, my heart has been opened as much as my mind. In accepting these people for their differences, embracing their differences and enjoying what they had to offer me, I have a greater capacity for love, tolerance and life.
Travel has been really good to me. I am a much better person for my experiences and so I write about them. Writing about these experiences means I can share the insights I have developed with people who have not been as fortunate as I, people who are not blessed with the opportunity to travel. In sharing such insights, the experiences which have helped me become a more tolerant, accepting person may help someone else do the same.
If you are traveler too, why don’t you share your experiences. We can all learn from each other. I am sure the world will be a better place if you share the things you have picked up along the way.

Dressing for the Mountain: A Beginner’s Guide to Snowboarding Clothing
December 13, 2009
Getting ready for a day of snowboarding can be a daunting task for anyone who isn’t from a snowy wintery environment. But whether or not you’re a seasoned snowboarder or a newbie from Florida who’s never even seen snow, it’s easy to learn the right way to dress not just to impress, but to survive out on the slopes.
Before you can even think about your board, it’s important to get the right clothing for a day on the mountain. There are two crucial steps to keep in mind when dressing yourself for a day of snowboarding: remember to layer, and cotton kills.
You should avoid cotton like the plague because, unlike other synthetic materials or even wool, cotton absorbs water, a potentially dangerous trait for your clothing to have in the middle of a snowstorm when it’s freezing outside. Trekkers and professional skiers all know that cotton kills, and it’s no laughing matter! Don’t put it on.
As far as layering goes, it’s the best way to stay both warm and cool out on the slopes. For those snowboarders who are going to be out during spring season, sometimes it’s necessary to remove a layer to beat the heat of the mid-day sun. If, instead of one very thick winter coat and one long underwear shirt, you layer long underwear, a thin sweater, a thick sweater, and a coat with a shell, it will make staying as cool or as warm as you want to be a breeze.
The first and most crucial part of any snowboarding outfit is that initial layer, the base layer. This is where it is really important to remember absolutely no cotton at all. Long underwear, or thermal underwear, should fit snugly but not too tightly, and should be made of a material that will wick sweat away. The same goes for socks, which should be made of wool or some other synthetic material that allows breathing while eliminating the risk of water.
The insulation, or middle, layer is for staying warm and keeping that core heat locked in for a day out on the slopes. Snowboarding pants, snowboarding boots, and a sweater or pull-over of some sort make up the middle layer. Pants should fit into the boots for a minimum chance of getting a leg full of snow, and boots should lace up firmly without pinching the feet.
The most important layer of any snowboarding outfit is the outer layer, because it is the first to meet the inclement weather. While the other two layers are all about keeping body heat in and water out, the outer layer can focus more on protection from the immediate elements. Outerwear consists of goggles, gloves, and the snowboarding jacket.
Gloves are another crucial part of snowboarding outerwear because of the amount of time that snowboarders spend getting up from the ground. The right pair of gloves should fit snugly, prevent snow or water from leaking in at the wrists, and be made of a waterproof material. Warm packs are a popular item to purchase at ski barns because they can be held in your palm inside the gloves on particularly freezing days on the slopes.
The finishing touch to the outfit? Why, goggles of course. With most snowy hills reflecting a whole lot of UV rays on sunny days, it’s important to protect one’s eyes from the sun. Goggles also help keep a clear line of vision during any snowfall that might occur while you’re on the slopes.
The most crucial part of your snowboarding outfit is the snowboarding jacket. A water and wind repelling jacket is a must for riders, as well as an inner-shell that fits a little more snugly and keeps water out in case you fall down at any point during the day. Once you’re all suited up, it’s time to hit the slopes!
If you are considering traveling to the Japan Snow, go the Niseko ski fields. The snow is outstanding for those who want to go snowboarding in Japan
The World’s Most Unforgettable Hotels
December 9, 2009
The hotel has evolved throughout the years. Whereas once it was simply a lodging, a place where you could go and get a hot meal and kick off your shoes for a night or two, today, hotels are so much more.
The trend in hotels is towards providing guests with an immersive experience. Hotels have become concepts; no longer is enough to be a stop over. Modern hotels are escapes; they act as little pockets of luxury, of freedom from the normal 9 to five grind.
Everywhere you look there are various themed hotels that have cropped up in all corners of the world. You can find a designer hotel with art themed rooms in practically every major city. There are hotels dedicated to fashion, to music, to being sustainable, to books and to celebrity personalities. And the public loves it.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that your standard luxury hotel has gone out of fashion. These are still very much in vogue. Sitting in the lap of luxury by the seaside sipping Mai Tais and other umbrella cocktails is a standard, especially for the jet setters and those on vacation. You can’t visit the pristine beaches of Phuket or the labyrinthine passage ways of Venice without finding a chic and exclusive hotel featuring big screen LCDs and 24 hour room service. These hotels will always be popular. You can always count on the big luxury chains like the Hilton or Four Seasons to offer you every creature comfort in the book.
But, for those looking for something different, for something a little more off the beaten track, something more adventuresome or creative, there are a host of options out there.
Here’s a look at just some of the latest and most unique hotels you can find in exotic and not so exotic locals around the world.
The Magic Mountain Hotel, located right in the middle of the beautiful and scenic Huilo Huilo nature reserve in Panguipulli, Chile is indeed a sight to behold. The hotel is one of a kind-it was actually constructed in the shape of a mountain. Guests will marvel at the waterfall which springs from the peak of the ‘mountain’ and flows down the sides. As the hotel makes its home in the midst of a forest, guests can go for hikes, enjoy the natural hot tub made from giant wooden logs, participate in white water rafting and go on customized skiing trips.
You’ve probably heard about the famous Ice Hotel-in fact, now there are several in the world. The first, however, was built in a small town in northern Sweden called Jukkasakjarvi. The hotel started out as an art project, a small igloo constructed on the frozen Torne River. That igloo soon gave birth to the 5500 square meter Ice Hotel, which is made entirely out of ice and snow-it’s an experience you won’t forget.
In the Netherlands, visitors can head over to the Harlingen Lighthouse and stay in this charming tower. While the tower only houses two, and must be booked well in advance, it makes the perfect romantic weekend getaway. Although it doesn’t come cheap, it’s great for couples looking for an escape from the stress of daily life.
The Franklin Feel the Sound Hotel in Rome is all about music. This place is dedicated to good tunes, good design and modern technology. Located a few blocks away from the Vatican in the Prati quarter, this hotel offers guests all the creature comforts including high quality stereo sound systems and vinyl records.

Catching the Surf in Australia
December 1, 2009
Surfers of all nationalities all know that there are few countries in the world with surfing conditions quite as good as Australia’s, making the country a mecca for surfers worldwide. There are simply magnificent surf spots to be found all along the endless Australian coastline, with the beaches Down Under representing the very best that the world’s oceans have for us to enjoy. Beyond certain stretches of coast that are not suited to surfing because of natural formations (bays, harbors and so on) it is hard to find a single spot of beach that doesn’t entice surfers with excellent surf breaks…meaning that a trip to pretty much any part of coastal Australia will be worth a surfer’s while.
Surfers generally tend to avoid the northernmost part of Australia, simply because the waters here are full of the kinds of jellyfish that could turn a surfer’s vacation into a very different, less enjoyable experience, as well as the fact that these shallow tropical waters don’t offer the same sorts of waves to be found elsewhere.
Thankfully, the rest of the national shoreline incorporates thousands of miles of beach rife with ideal surf spots ready to furnish surfers the ride of their life. These uncounted miles of coastline offer some extraordinary beach and reef breaks all along their extent. From the warm waters off Australia’s western shores to the chillier waters off its southern shores and the very popular and visited waters of the eastern coast, there are tons of places where any surfer will be able to make their dreams come true.
Western Australia is a surfer’s mecca, with summer temps well over 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) and the water getting up there, too! The clear waters of the Indian Ocean are too inviting to pass up, and the tubes loom large at well over 6 feet in many cases. Among the best destinations for surfers to check out in Western Australia, it’s recommended to go to Albany, Esperance, and especially the area where the Margaret River flows into the Indian Ocean.
South Australia offers surfers chillier waters, but hardly any other sacrifice! The surf conditions here are ideal despite the frigidness of the ocean, and the cold currents flowing northwards from Antarctica provide truly spectacular swells that are the stuff of surfing legends. The terrain is pretty rugged which makes accessing many beaches a bit of a challenge, but if you happen to be lucky enough to have a local guide and/or a 4WD vehicle you can surmount any obstacle just about. In this part of the country, surfers should definitely get to know spots like Yorke Peninsula and Eyre Peninsula, designated by local surfers and those that flock from the capital of Adelaide as being nothing short of the best.
The coast of Victoria is similar in many aspects to that of South Australia, and in both cases surfers will want to don their wet suits as the waters are exceptionally chilly. Despite this, the conditions are magnificent: to get the most out of this area, again, you will want to pick apart the brain of a local surfer. Nonetheless, keep an eye out for Bells Beach, Phillip Island and Torquay, singled out by locals as favorite surf spots. For a leisurely surf/road trip, just get on the Great Ocean Road that runs for more than 100 miles along the Victorian coast-it’s simply chock-full of ideal surf breaks.
Getting back into warmer waters, New South Wales has an expansive coastline with such popular surf areas as those in and around Sydney as well as spots farther afield, such as Angourie, Lennox, and Byron Bay.
Farther north still, Queensland has such ideal surd destinations as the Gold Coast to speak of. Surfing is a way of life around here, and beach names like Surfers Paradise pretty much explain themselves as a result. In Queensland’s upper reaches, surfers can even get a glimpse of the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, a rare and precious natural jewel unlike any other in the world.
At last, there are the surf spots of Tasmania to be reckoned with, yet only for the brave of heart that is! Again in pretty chilly waters, many areas are inaccessible but if you do manage to get around, try going to the eastern end of the island for the best surf breaks.
