People Tell The Story: Australia
While we only visited the east coast of Australia, it was made clear to us that most Aussies share one trait – they love the ocean. Multiple people mentioned how the majority of its population lives within a reasonable drive to the beach. Australians work hard in order to enjoy what the coast has to offer and utilize their free time and vacation to the fullest. Here are two similar perspectives from completely different industries.

Noosa Shines on Australia’s sunny East Coast

Noosa Shines on Australia’s sunny East Coast

Relaxing. Charming. Chic without being stuffy.  Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast really delivered.  

Mike and I chose to spend our last days in Australia beach hopping and exploring towns along the east coast of the country:  Gold Coast (towns just South of Brisbane), Sunshine Coast (those just north of Brisbane), and the Whitsunday Islands.  The Gold Coast is likened to Miami Beach:  nightclubs, high rise apartments and hotels, and beaches.  The Sunshine Coast is a little more chill.  And the Whitsunday Islands stand in a class of their own.  They are a chain of 74 islands off the coast that mark the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. While we experienced each destination, I have to say that my heart is with the Sunshine Coast in a small resort town called Noosa Heads.

Sydney Wouldn’t Let Us Leave
Sydney is fascinating. To a degree that we decided to extend our stay. . .twice. The city, its magnificent harbour, its beaches, its bar and restaurant scene, and, of course, its iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House never ceased to entertain us. Our three day visit turned into five and yet, we still could have stayed longer.

A Coastal Walk Worth Running To
Sydney’s southern beaches, though often masked by world-renowned Bondi Beach, seem to greater express the true beach mentality that most Sydneysiders possess.  Away from all the hustle of famous Bondi, six other water spots add to the expansiveness of Sydney’s beach scene: Maroubra, Coogee, Gordon’s Bay, Clovelly, Bronte, and Tamarama.  And you can walk to all of them.

Lovable, Livable Melbourne

Lovable, Livable Melbourne

To Mike and I, one of the highest compliments we can pay to a city is that we could “see ourselves living there”.  This means that there is not only enough to do to hold our attention for a long period of time, but also that we get a good vibe from the people and the city itself.  We felt that way about Melbourne.
