The raw, chewy taste of paradise
Article Abstract:
Australia's tropical Whitsunday Island is the largest of 74 islands in the Whitsunday Group. It has fine-grain white sands around its coast, while its interior is covered with dense eucalyptus and vine forests. The 42 sq mile island is a National Park, and therefore has very limited amenities. It has many natural attractions, but is only really suitable for visitors who are prepared to fend for themselves and spend time in close proximity to nature.

The complete guide to the Australian outback
Article Abstract:
Those planning to visit the Australian outback should consider travelling by a mixture of internal flights and local tours or self-drive car hire. The best time of year to visit the region is between Apr and Jun or between Oct and Nov. Most animals are nocturnal, so plans must be made to try to see them at dawn or dusk. It is important to be prepared for harsh conditions, so appropriate clothing is highly recommended.
