Australia Day Weekend 2010

Australia Day Weekend 2010

The 2010 Australia Day weekend runs from the 23rd to the 26th January. With summer in full swing across the country, the Australia Day weekend is a great time for a relaxing getaway. A number of holiday areas make fantastic destinations for an Australia Day break.

For Brisbane residents looking to getaway, the Gold Coast remains an ideal destination. Located just one hour from the centre of Brisbane, the Gold Coast offers endless stretches of white sandy beaches perfect for swimming, surfing and sunbathing. The dining and nightlife scene of the Gold Coast buzzes during holiday periods and attracts visitors from all over the world. Theme parks including Sea World, Movie World and Dreamworld remain family favourites. Popular suburbs for a Gold Coast break include Coolangatta, Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, Southport and Sanctuary Cove.

Queensland's Sunshine Coast is also home to beach holiday areas close to Brisbane. The gorgeous coastline of the region offers great swimming, fishing and surfing spots. The beautiful national parks preserve magnificent coastal scenery. Destinations such as Noosa Heads, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba and Coolum Beach contain a great selection of holiday accommodation.

Surfers Paradise

For Sydney residents looking to escape the city over the Australia Day break, a number of excellent options exist. The Central Coast is within easy reach of Sydney and features  beautiful holiday towns and magnificent beaches. The Entrance sits at the mouth of Tuggerah Lake and attracts a large number of holidaying families. Terrigal is another favourite holiday suburb, known for its surf beach, lakes and vibrant beachfront shopping strip. Avoca Beach is centred around an idyllic beachfront fringed with magnificent Norfolk Island Pines. Just to the north of the Central Coast, and with the crystal waters of Port Stephens as the backdrop, towns such as Nelson Bay, Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest offer ocean beaches, national parks and inviting hospitality.

Melbournian's seeking a summer break also have a number of excellent options.  Phillip Island is a favourite destination and offers 26 beaches set amidst beautiful coastal scenery and welcoming towns and villages. The Mornington Peninsula is home to charming towns such as Portsea, Sorrento and Rosebud that buzz during the summer months. Victoria's Great Ocean Road region is also at its finest during the holidays. Surfers, anglers, bushwalkers and families all travel along the famous road for a summer break. Towns such as Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne and Apollo Bay offer breathtaking beaches and gorgeous surrounding hinterland.
