Shangri-La - It has to be said, outstanding hotel, probably one of the best in the city. Great views and the rooms are stunning. Worth the money and definitely upgrade to Grand Harbour Bridge view room.

Standing on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was the highlight of my fantastic trip around Australia. I could feel the wind rushing in my face while I looked down over one of the most impressive sights, the Sydney Opera house and the skyline of Sydney.

I had always wanted to travel to Australia and couldn’t believe I had finally made the plunge and booked my flights and made the trip of a lifetime. Australia has something for everyone, its diverse landscape and attractions make it a fun and a brilliant place to visit.

I travelled mainly down the east Coast and apart from Sydney one of my favourite places was the Whitsunday’s, with white pristine beaches and beautiful tiny islands to stay on, its definitely worth making a trip out to one of them. The snorkelling and scuba diving is brilliant as the marine life is out of this world.

I don’t know how you could compare Australia with any other holiday because it’s just amazing. People would be silly to miss out.
