Stay in East Kimberley’s best at Discovery Resorts

2 weeks ago | australiantraveller.com | Jennifer Ennion

The East Kimberley should be on every bucket list, and here’s why. Livistona palms soar out of chasms the colour of Valencia oranges. Shady waterholes beckon travellers daring to venture off the bitumen. From the air, fruit farms give way to vast plains that meet rolling hills and fascinating geological formations centuries in the making. The East Kimberley is one of Australia’s most treasured wilderness areas, but don’t be fooled by its rust-coloured roads.

This article is brought to you by Adventure World/Destination Canada. In Hudson Bay, in sub-Arctic Canada, belugas play alongside zodiacs, kayakers and stand up paddleboarders. In the near distance, is Churchill, one of the most remote communities in the world. Beyond the weathered buildings, polar bears roam the earth, waiting for the bay’s ice to return. Far to the south is a city that pushes cultural boundaries and embraces creativity in its galleries, museums and public spaces.

This article is brought to you by Adventure World/Destination Canada. With grizzly bears, snow-capped peaks, hiking trails, glacier-fed rivers and an outdoor lifestyle to be envious of, it’s no surprise Australians adore the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Ordering a wine or a beer with a meal is as Aussie as an orange brick house in the suburbs, but as a nation of relatively active people, we’re finally seeing our drinking habits catch up with our healthier lifestyle choices.

Restaurateurs are increasingly adding more non-alcoholic options to their beverage lists in Australia and abroad to cater for travellers focused on wellness. The sober travel trendNo longer are Australians simply jumping on month-long sobriety trends such as Dry July and Sober October; they’re opting out of alcohol regularly, which is no doubt music to the ears of Aaron Trotman, the founder of NON, a premium alcohol-free wine alternative.

1. Ride the Thredbo Alpine CoasterThere’s been plenty of buzz about the new Thredbo Alpine Coaster, and no matter your age, you’ll want to go for a ride. The all-weather track is 1.5 kilometres long, weaving between gumtrees, a tunnel and over bridges at speeds of up to 40 km/h. 2.

When it comes to travelling, ageing has its benefits. Hear me out. With maturity comes an acceptance, even a willingness, to make travelling more comfortable. I’m not talking about ensconcing yourself in a luxury resort and never leaving (although if that’s your thing, go for it). I’m talking about making the logistics of travel easier. The to-ing and fro-ing. And part of this is overnighting in an airport hotel before, or even after, a flight, especially when you don’t live nearby.

1. Stay off the hillThis has to be one of the best ways to save money at a ski resort. Although Monique Easton owns The Eastern Thredbo Village, a pair of boutique Airbnbs in the NSW Snowy Mountains, she says skiers on a tight budget should book accommodation off the hill. Monique says the bonus of staying in Jindabyne or even Adaminaby is you can day trip to different resorts. Ski journalist Kirrily Schwarz likes to camp at NRMA Jindabyne Holiday Park (pictured) on the shores of Lake Jindabyne.
This Christchurch tram is family holiday magic

Living in regional NSW, my kids don’t yet know what a tram is. My description of it being like a fun train doesn’t help. A more apt explanation of the Christchurch Tram, which we are about to ride, would be that it’s like a large toy train made by Santa’s elves. With a polished maroon and gold exterior and timber doors, the beauty of the Christchurch Tram gives it a special magic that lights up the faces of tourists and locals waiting to climb aboard.
