Coastal Fringe Regions of Australia

"10,000 kilometers of Australia's coastline has some beautiful coastal townships"

Some of the best holiday and tourist destinations

Beside the tropical northern beaches the 10,000 kilometers of Australia's coastline has some beautiful coastal townships. As the main highways are mostly a little inland the majority of these towns have remained relatively bustle free and quietly relaxing for a weekend or holiday getaway. Care needs to be taken if thinking about entering waters that are unfamiliar and unpatrolled but there are a number of hidden treasures like Hallidays Point, Tin Can Bay and Geraldton.

The Sunshine Coast

Just an hour's drive north of Brisbane and recognised as one of the best holiday and tourist destinations, The Sunny Coast offers the visitor a place to put up your feet and do nothing but relax. On the Sunshine Coast it is easy to put things off until tomorrow - no rush here.
