Australia this Weekend

This Weekend in Photos

Sailboarding,Fishing,Boating and A Doggy weekend

Shhh Shhh Secret Weekend Australian Gem.

   Volcanic peaks, verdant rainforests, white sand beaches, rolling surf and tranquil lagoon combine to form an idyllic experience. Here visitors have the opportunity to view prolific bird and marine life, and to discover the world's most southern coral reefs.

A weekend at Ayers Rock

       No picture is more often associated with Australia than a photograph of Ayers Rock at sunset. It is a compelling picture: the deep orange, glowing above the already darkened expanse of the Outback, perfectly flat, the endless horizon... No wonder Uluru is a magnet to tourists.

The Great Ocean Road

     The road along the coast of Victoria between Torquay in east and Portland in west, is one of Australia’s most beautiful drives. It passes some lovely coastal towns, national parks with temperate rainforests, and some of Australia’s most famous rock formations – the Twelve Apostles in Port Campbell National Park.

The Blue Mountains

     The Blue Mountains offer spectacular scenery, plantlife and wildlife. The mountains reach a height of 1100m, and have been given their name due to the blue haze that hovered above the mountains produced by the oil from the plentiful Eucalyptus trees.

Sunrises from Weekends Past

 

The Great Barrier Reef

       One of Australia's most remarkable natural gifts, the Great Barrier Reef is blessed with the breathtaking beauty of the world's largest coral reef. The reef contains an abundance of marine life and comprises of over 3000 individual reef systems and coral cays and literally hundreds of picturesque tropical islands with some of the worlds most beautiful sun-soaked, golden beaches.

An Australian Summer Supreme

   The Sunshine Coast area encompasses a wide variety of townships. If you're after a friendly and laid back atmosphere with secluded beaches, fewer high rise buildings than the cities and an amazing assortment of features, then the Sunshine Coast is it. Unique, varied and simply unspoilt!

 

    The Coast begins at Caloundra, just one hour's drive north of Brisbane and extends to Cooloola, the gateway to World Heritage Listed Fraser Island. It takes in tranquil hinterland including the Glass House Mountains, Blackall Range, Noosa Hinterland and the Mary Valley; as well as more than 100 kilometres of beaches. The perfect combination for a dream holiday.

Maroochydore and Pincushion Island at Dawn

   Sunshine Coast Accommodation is available for every kind of traveller. With one hundred kilometres of stunning beaches flowing through the seaside towns of Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Coolum, Noosa and Alexandra Headland, the Sunshine Coast is the ideal holiday destination for couples and families. The range of accommodation options is almost endless with hotels, resorts and spa options in abundance to suit all kinds of budgets, basic to luxury.

 Sunrise on the Coast
    Banjo Paterson

Grey dawn on the sand-hills–the night wind has drifted
    All night from the rollers a scent of the sea;
With the dawn the grey fog his battalions has lifted,
    At the call of the morning they scatter and flee.
Like mariners calling the roll of their number

    The sea-fowl put out to the infinite deep.
And far over-head–sinking softly to slumber–
    Worn out by their watching, the stars fall asleep.

To eastward, where resteth the dome of the skies on
    The sea-line, stirs softly the curtain of night;
And far from behind the enshrouded horizon
    Comes the voice of a God saying “Let there be light.”

And lo, there is light!      Evanescent and tender,
    It glows ruby-red where ’twas now ashen-grey;
And purple and scarlet and gold in its splendour–
    Behold, ’tis that marvel, the birth of a day!
