South Coast Park

I think you should explore the walking trails, but download a map first. I got a bit lost and missed some beautiful spots.

My advice is to check the weather before you go. I went on a cloudy day, and it wasn't super enjoyable. A sunny day really makes the beach pop!
Great Barrier Reef

I recommend booking your snorkeling trips at least a day in advance. Some spots fill up quickly and you don’t wanna miss out on the good ones!

My advice is to take an underwater camera. I regret not bringing one along! The reef is gorgeous and you'll want to capture those moments.

Don't just stick to the popular spots! I thought exploring the lesser-known parts of the reef was way more peaceful and there were fewer crowds.

I think doing the sunset cruise was a highlight for me! The views are breathtaking and it’s a great way to wind down after a busy day. Don’t miss it!
Great Victoria Desert
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Peninsula Hot Springs
Royal Botanical Garden
Taronga Zoo

Don't miss the free ferry ride from Circular Quay to the zoo. It gives you stunning views of the harbor and saves on transport costs.

My advice is to buy your tickets online in advance. It not only saves money but also skips the long ticket lines when you arrive.
Australia Zoo

If you're planning to eat there, skip the cafe and pack a picnic! The grounds are perfect for a lunch break, and it saves you some cash too

Be mindful of the sun! I forgot sunscreen and regretted it big time. Wear a hat, and maybe bring a lightweight blanket for those nice shady spots!

I recccomend getting there early, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and enjoy the animal shows without feeling rushed. The koala encounter was my fave!

Check the schedule for animal encounters and shows as soon as you arrive. They fill up fast, and you don’t want to miss the cute kangaroo feeding!
Noosa Main Beach

I suggest bringing your own beach umbrella. Renting one can be pricey, and I regretted not having more shade when the sun was blazing.
