Nostalgia trips
Throwback holidays are in as new parents recreate their favourite childhood vacations for the kids. Renting that old beach shack, a farmstay or heading to the ultimate family destination - the Gold Coast, where sky-rise hotels, theme parks and Ripley's Believe It Or Not are all still going strong, it's much more impressive than the last time you went!
GC 2.0 also rocks sophisticated dining and nightlife, incredible shopping, new hotels like QT Gold Coast (with interconnecting rooms and iconic pool!) and everything from bowls clubs to beach clubs - you might just need to book for longer!
Going off-grid
Unplug, disconnect and escape from everyday life... off-grid is in vogue. We aren't talking turn the phone off on a rainforest walk but going full bush - taking everything you need on your back! Ditch your phone and experience walking across the red sands of NT's Larapinta Trail, forest paths of the Grampians in Vic or the mountains on Tassie's Overland Track - camping along the way. Make sure you're fit, going off-grid isn't a walk in the park!
