Escape to the Sweeping Plains of Broken Hill

Broken Hill is an outright desert town in NSW (New South Wales) with iron ore, rock sculptures and outback drag queens! Bringing flavour to people of all tastes, this little town doesn't get talked about enough. The best time to visit is during the colder months – mild sunshine and moderate temperatures allow you to effortlessly explore its surrounds. Among the slew of top attractions is the unmissable Living Desert and Sculpture Symposium. It is the perfect place to watch the sun go down while checking out the intricate hand-carved rock sculptures by artists from across the globe. Besides the many nature walks, you can discover the city through its unique pubs and bars, not to mention, show stopping drag performances that take your breath away!

Get to know the Wild Side of Sydney

A trip to the zoo is the perfect one-day family outing. Sydney Zoo is considered a gem by the locals as it was one of the first zoos in the city. It lives up to the expectations of a world-class zoo with natural habitats including cutting-edge enclosures, educational exhibits, excellent animal welfare surveillance, and of course, a wide range of exotic and native animals. Visitor engagement is one of the distinctive highlights of the zoo with interactive sessions  that lets you encounter animals like the Tiger, koalas, giraffes and more! The only downside is that the zoo is a long trek away from the Central Business District, but it’s definitely worth the trip.

Diving Sessions at Fairlight Beach

Australia’s marine life is truly a sight to behold. And, you don’t need to venture far to the Great Barrier Reef to get a glimpse of it. Cockatoo fish, leatherjackets, sea urchin (a whole lot of it too) and pomfrets– see every one of them right here in Manly. You can take advantage of the numerous snorkel safari tours in the area, which opens you to a new world of aquatic life. Right when you immerse yourself into the waters, you will be surrounded by magnificent sea creatures of all sizes, including tennis-ball-sized jellyfishes and the crimson-banded wrasse. And having a guide by you at all times makes it much easier to spot marine life, while you concentrate on breathing and swimming! You can hire all the necessary gear from the local store near the beach.
