One of the best ways to experience a place is from the skies. If you feel like splurging, a helicopter flight over Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef is a must-do when visiting Tropical North Queensland in Australia.
Snorkelling the fantastic lagoon around Lady Musgrave Island!
Noosa National Park hosts a treasure trove of magical spots on the coastline. I hiked almost through to Hell's Gates to find this gem. :)
