Down under but always on top

This was one of many adventures I'd done in Australia while I lived there for over a year, and this country has everything to offer the first-time visitor or the frequent traveller.

My favourite state is Queensland. I lived in Brisbane for six months and so found the relaxed lifestyle and incredible weather very appealing. There is even a beach in the middle of the city, what's not to love? With the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Whitsundays and Barrier Reef, the aquatic focus is obvious but there are some gems in the interior as well. The Glasshouse Mountains just north of Brisbane are stunning and the Atherton Tablelands outside of Cairns are well worth a visit and a Hot Air Balloon trip over them is a great way to see somewhere often missed.

Tasmania is my next favourite state, but I'm a little biased as I have family who live in the wonderfully named "Paradise" in the north of the island. Gourmands will love Tassie, as the food and drink here are arguably some of the best in the country and with such a diverse eco system, the variables on your plate for dinner are something to be enjoyed! The wilderness of Tassie is my main reason for loving this island, the interior is huge with virtually no roads, the Cradle Mountain National Park is very beautiful and if you can get as far as the Walls of Jerusalem National Park you really are in the middle of nowhere.

The Bay of Fires in the north west and Freycinet are also incredibly beautiful and in Wineglass Bay you have one of the top ten beaches in the world. But my absolute favourite part of the Tassie is the Boags Brewery in Hobart. Cheers!

Last but not least it has to be New South Wales. Sydney is one of the most incredibly situated cities on earth. The harbour is awesome and If I was going to choose the best commute in the world it has to be by ferry from Manly to the Circular Quay, the view of the bridge all the way to work, the sunset over the Pacific on the way home, not too shabby!

The Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley nearby give a great contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city, and allow you to get out and walk through some virgin Eucalyptus forests and drink some superb wines as you relax at one of the many vineyards. Further up the coast you have the interesting Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour before you arrive at Byron Bay and the surfing mecca of Australia.

All in all, Australia truly has something for everyone and even if you have been loads of times there are so many areas to explore you can never get bored.

I've been to every state and territory apart from Canberra (ACT), so I class myself as somewhat of an expert. If you fancy visiting this incredible country, or you've been but want some inspiration to see somewhere new, get in touch as I'd love to help make your dream a reality.
