Lady Elliot Island is where the reef begins (southern part of Queensland). Covering only 45 hectares the island only has one resort and can be reached by plane.

Be devoured by the glamour and grandness of Sydney. The largest city of Australia, located in New South Wales which is oozing with multiculturalism. This refined destination is rich with charisma and historical value, with an array of things to do and see!
The best time to visit is between September through November and March to May. These are the shoulders seasons that offer great temperatures and fewer tourists than the high season.
