Australia Trip
The capitals of New South Wales and Queensland are major travel destinations in their own rights, but there are a number of exciting attractions for visitors who have the time to explore the coastal areas between Brisbane and Sydney. Activities include nature watching, boutique shopping, culinary expeditions and all types of water sports. The peak tourist season for the sun drenched Central Coast is mid-October to January, but those who want to enjoy pleasant weather without the crowds visit the area from February to May and September to October. Here are six top destinations for visitors moving down the coast.
#1 Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Koala bears and kangaroos are well recognised symbols of native Australian wildlife, and visitors can see them up close at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary that is the largest of its kind in the world. The sanctuary, which is located just 13 kilometres south of Brisbane, is full of camera ready koalas, kangaroos and their adorable offspring.
#2 Harbour Town Shopping Outlets
A trip to Harbour Town Shopping Outlets, which is about 69 kilometres south of Brisbane, is in order before one gets too far down the coast. Visitors find that they can snag deals on apparel and gear for their trip at stores like Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Bahama, French Connection and Calvin Klein. The outlets' free shuttle, numerous eateries and the VIP tourism club discount card make Harbour Town a must stop location for the savvy Brisbane travel planner.
#3 Hot Air Gold Coast Cairns
Searching for things to see around Brisbane can be taken to the extreme with a hot air balloon ride with the ballooning experts at Hot Air Gold Coast Cairns. After taking in stunning views of the Australian Gold Coast, riders are treated to full, cooked to order breakfasts at O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards that comes with river views and gracious hospitality.
#4 Port Macquarie
May to November is whale watching season in the picturesque seaside town of Port Macquarie. The town's central location is a picture perfect stop over for visitors who are coming from Brisbane and continuing to Sydney, and a break there is a great time to check the Motormouth application at Motor Mouth to get the locations of petrol stations that have the best prices in the region. Port Macquarie, which is about 550 kilometres from Brisbane, has tons of nature trails, a light house and extensive pristine beaches to explore.
#5 TreeTops Central Coast in Ourimbah State Forest
TreeTops Central Coast in the Ourimbah State Forest offers some of the most creatively designed zipline tours in the world. The family friendly, roller coaster style zip lines are sure to get the blood pumping and heart racing while taking in the beauty of nature.
#6 Terrigal Beach
Terrigal Beach, which is just a little over an hour north of Sydney, is a popular beach that provides a safe environment for all types of water sports. The area is great for scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, boating and fishing. The cliff engulfed, protected rock pool and barbeque facilities are definite bonuses. For a distinctive Terrigal experience, a visitor might also take an introductory flight on a
