Australia - Swansea - Tasmania
Swansea on the north-west shore of Great Oyster Bay of Tasmania's east coast overlooks Freycinet National Park. It was the first municipality in Australia to be established after Hobart and Sydney.

Recorded January 4-9, 2007
My six night stay in the Australian state of Tasmania. I base my stay in the capital city of Hobart where I drive to the top of Mount Wellington. From Hobart I take several day-trips. My first day trip was a scenic boat ride to the historic penal colony, Port Arthur. My next excursion was into the Huon Valley where I took a jet boat trip on the Huon River and visited the Tahune Forest Airwalk. Next was a scenic boat ride around Bruny Island. The final excursion was a scenic airplane flight to the Southwest World Heritage National Park where I took a boat ride around Bathurst Harbour. The video concludes with a visit to Mount Field National Park.

Top 10: Australia's East Coast
Top 10: Australia's East Coast (according to Lonely Planet)
13. Sydney Nightlife
12. Great Ocean Road
11. Far North Queensland
10. Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains, immediately to the west of the sprawling metropolitan area of Sydney, constitute one of the most accessible areas of relatively unspoilt natural highland beauty in New South Wales. Although not particularly high as a mountain range, the Blue Mountains are nonetheless renowned for their majestic scenery of a unique kind, their cultural attractions and a relatively tranquil, alternative mode of life.
9. Brisbane
Brisbane is the capital of the state of Queensland. It's a positive attitude and creative confidence that makes Brisbane a genuine new-world city. Large enough to be cosmopolitan yet small enough to be friendly and accessible, this 'garden metropolis' is famous for its leafy, open spaces and the pleasant pace of life that unfolds between the zig-zags of its iconic river.
8. Fraser Island
Fraser Island is a precious part of Australia's natural and cultural heritage, it is protected for all to appreciate and enjoy. Fraser island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and over 100 freshwater lakes, some tea-coloured and others clear and blue all ringed by white sandy beaches.
7. Noosa National Park
Noosa National Park is a national park in Queensland, 121 km north of Brisbane. It is situated near Noosa Heads between the Pacific Ocean and the Sunshine Coasts's northern area of urban development and extends southwards, past Lake Weyba to Coolum. An oceanway runs from the Noosa River mouth along Hastings Street town centre and then out around the Noosa National Park headlands and beaches to Sunshine Beach.
6. Byron Bay
Byron Bay is a coastal town in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, located just off the Pacific Highway, approximately 800 km north of Sydney and 175 km south of Brisbane. Nearby Cape Byron is the easternmost point on the Australian mainland. Byron Bay is famed worldwide for its surfing beaches, scuba diving, whale watching, rural beauty and a laid back lifestyle.
5. Sailing the Whitsunday Islands
The Whitsunday Islands are a group of 74 islands that lie off the coast of Queensland and form part of the Great Barrier Reef. The vast majority of islands are designated national parks and major attractions include access to coral reefs for snorkeling and diving, pristine beaches, especially Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island and clear aquamarine warm waters.
4. Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's second largest city, and the capital of the south-eastern state of Victoria, located at the head of Port Phillip Bay. Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital, with Victorian-era architecture, extensive shopping, museums, galleries, theatres, and large parks and gardens. Many of its 4 million residents are both multicultural and sports-mad.
3. Daintree Rainforest
The park consists largely of broadleaf lowland tropical rainforests and upland tropical rainforests, although there are also significant mangrove and fan palm communities. The rainforest is an amazing array of biodiversity. Look out for the cassowary, a large non-flying bird with a helmet growth on its head to protect it as it runs through the forest.
2. Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is a coral formation, the largest in the world, located off the Pacific coast of Queensland. It is home to a spectacular array of marine life and offers awesome diving opportunities. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms.
1. Sydney
Sydney is the Harbour City. It is the largest, oldest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia with an enviable reputation as one of the world's most beautiful and liveable cities. Brimming with history, nature, culture, art, fashion, cuisine, design, it is set next to miles of ocean coastline and sandy surf beaches. The city is also home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, two of the most iconic structures on the planet.

Tasmania SWANSEA - Spiky beach 2018 Australia mavic-2-zoom 4k
SWANSEA
Swansea is a pretty seaside village that looks out over Great Oyster Bay to the spectacular granite peaks of Freycinet National Park, with a rich colonial history, unique attractions and old world charm.
The town is surrounded by beautiful beaches and with Freycinet Peninsula in the distance, there are few towns in Tasmania that enjoy such beautiful scenery.
Swansea is quiet, friendly and laid back, even when the town fills with holiday makers over the summer months.
The town centre is home to many interesting historic buildings, with a terrific local history museum that shares the town's stories and artifacts. Just out of town, look out for the quirky Spiky Bridge, constructed by convicts using field stones laid without mortar or cement.

Unique Hotel in Tasmania
Peppers Silo Hotel is a unique structure. The Launceston Grain Elevator was constructed in 1959 and converted into a luxury hotel by Tasmanian entrepreneur Errol Stewart. A bridge is under construction that will link it to the Launceston Seaport.
We hung out and enjoyed a nice lunch in the Grain of The Silos cafe.

NEW SOUTH WALES TRANSPORT HERITAGE FESTIVAL SYDNEY
Over the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June 2017, Sydney's Central Station was devoted to a New South Wales Transport Heritage Festival. They were all there -- steam trains, red rattler suburban trains and rail motors not to mention Sydney's heritage fleet of double decker buses. The Festival attracted thousands of Sydneysiders -- and didn't the kids, big and small, love the steam trains!
