Category: Oceania

Oceania includes Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Australia, where I grew up, has incredible wildlife, the best beaches in the world (OK, maybe I am a little biased, but as a self-confessed beach snob, I stand by my statement), great wine, great weather, breathtaking scenery, friendly people and much more.

If you are traveling to the Gold Coast in Queensland with your family, check out these things to do on the Gold Coast with kids.

If you are thinking of heading to Australia in December, learn all about Christmas in Australia (there is nothing quite like it).

Oceania also includes New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.  From the mysterious statues on Easter Island to the dramatic rainforest-covered cliffs  and crystal-clear waters of Tahiti and incredible diving in Hawaii, this part of the world is one of the most beautiful.
