What are your favorite Australian towns you've most enjoyed visiting?
The two loveliest spots in Oz that I like best are :
The South Coast around Esperance WA and The Northern Rivers of NSW from the Clarence River to the Queensland Border. Two best wine regions I like best : McLaren Vale SA which IMHO grows the best Shiraz and some of the best Grenache in Oz and The Mudgee district which grows some of the more unusual wines.

I had a fantastic holiday in Tasmania. Best spots - the drive up the west
coast and poking about on the north east corner beaches. See what life was like in the 50s when your average worker could afford a beach shack anywhere there was a beach. Another fabuluous spot is King Island, if you like your weather wild and woolly and windy, and I mean windy. Can't really narrow Oz down to two spots though!

The Northern Rivers of NSW from the Clarence River to the Queensland Border. Won't argue with that - schooled in Grafton and living on the Tweed Coast:-) Apart from home, two mo Broken Bay at the mouth of the Hawkesbury, and up the Hawkesbury towards Mangrove Mountain; The Snowy River region. (so I can't count - big deal - I left out 20 more) Two best wine regions I like best : McLaren Vale SA which IMHO grows the best Shiraz and some of the best Grenache in Oz and The Mudgee district which grows some of the more unusual wines. (e.g. Sangiovese but "different") I'd add Rutherglen and the Hunter to those two. Cheers, Alan, Australia -- http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Ancient Rome http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ |

That very much depends on your interests!!
Australia is about the same size as the Continental USA - with just as wide a range of climate etc. What are YOU looking for? "Jeff" wrote in message oups.com...

Let me see: The outback, the outback and ... the outback! Did I already mention the outback? :-) But seriously, besides the outback, some of the towns/regions we enjoyed: Alice Springs, NT: Western McDonnell ranges. Oodnadatta Track, SA: old railroad remains. Coward Springs, SA: Hot springs on campground. Copley, SA: Very friendly hosts at caravan park. Gammon Ranges, SA: Very isolated campground at Grindell's Hut. Innamincka and Coongie Lakes, SA: Small and cosey outback 'town'. Birdsville, QLD: Pub of Birdville Hotel. Mataranka, NT: "We of the never-never." memorial site. Katherine Gorge, NT: Full day gorge-tour. Litchfield NP, NT: Many waterfalls and pools an termite-mounds. Broken Hill, NSW: Historical buildings and Silverton ghost-town. Rainbow Valley, NT: Rainbow-colored rock formations. Port Pirie, SA: Nice coastal town. |

Exmouth. It is close to ningaloo reef, which in parts is that close you can
wade out with goggles to look at the coral, even if you can't swim. It has Turquise bay, Glass bottomed boats for coral viewing, whaleshark tours to swim with, big game fishing. Even in the harbour, I have seen them landing fish over 400mm long before you get into deeper water. Ningaloo reef is the world's closest fringing reef, and is over 260Km's long. Better than the Great Barrier Reef IMHO (I'm an ex Qld'r) and lots closer to shore. It ranges from a few metres to 200 metres offshore. Then there is the land attractions, like shothole canyon and Charles Knife Road (driving on an escarpment, with valleys and sheer drop on both sides, sometimes it's only as wide as the road. (8 metres) There are safety cables to stop you running into valleys over a hundred metres deep. There is also an array of antenna's for Submarine communication, that can talk to sub's under ice at the north pole. They are over 1,000 feet tall, the tallest being 1,271 feet tall, and spread out over 2 1/2 Km in diameter. It's the world's largest VLF transmitter, and can transmit over 2Mw of power. When it is transmitting, you could hold a fleuro tube in the air, and it would light from the power (No longer allowed, but I have seen pic's of it done when under construction.) It is also a good jump-off point to see Karajini National Park and Millstream. We went there initially on the way to Karajini, and it soon became apparent we would need to spend 2 weeks there alone to do it justice. |
