Cradle Mountain - Tasmania

by AnnemieB

Great hiking, excellent views, fun log cabins to stay in too!

Mooloolaba Underwater World

by AnnemieB

This is only for people who adore seals (like me). There's a really good show and you can also view the seals under water. There's also a large tunnel where you can see all sorts of fish and sharks.
