Secluded beaches, quiet coves and soaring headlands predominate this harbor, which is considered one of the world's most beautiful.

Amazing ! Best way to explore is by ferry ⛴ stopping at islands such as Cockatoo to explore, shopping areas such as Balmain, Watson Bay, the iconic Luna Park, Lavender Bay, Circular Quay - The Rocks area, markets, pubs, the Opera House, too many to mention.
2. Bay of Islands
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 673 reviews
A land and seascape sculpted by the elements over millennia. Arches, islands and rock stacks are dotted along a wild coastline of beach coves and spectacular lookouts. The wild Southern Ocean has carved a stunning collection of rock stacks and sheltered bays with clifftop walks, scenic lookouts and small beach coves near Peterborough along the Great Ocean Road. Perhaps overshadowed by the Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles down the road, the Bay of Islands Coastal Park offers just equally spectacular experience without the crowds. Dogs are welcome on a lead at Sandy Cove near Murnanes Bay.

Spectacular scenery, really worth seeing. 40 minutes west of Port Campbell and the 12 apostles. Warrnambool is 35 minutes further west. Don't miss this site, way better than the Apostles and you don't have the crowds.

Such a beautiful fresh water lake, only the depth changes the colour, so turquoise in the shallows. Try cleaning your jewellery in the sand. I have cleaned my watch and watch face many times, that tells you how soft the sand is. So pure.

We enjoyed the hospitality of the Jindabyne parkrun with impressive views over Lake Jindabyne. This parkrun is very popular with tourists and the local volunteers do a great job in organising the event. This is an impressive body of water and offers a range of water sports. The bird life around the lake is also abundant. Thanks for your vote.

No need to go far. It’s in the middle of the town this lovely park with recreational activities, the lake can be walked all around, or run/jogging Next to it’s is the mighty Goulburn river and the bush walk. There is a 22km bike path to take you to Tatura through Tebet bush and pastures if you are into cycling
